Music

Music speaks to me, like it does for most people.

When I hear a song that I love, I attach to it. I see my life in the song. I feel the song - in a place within myself that I cannot explain. There is a sense of true euphoria that goes along with music, with lyrics, with the song.

I love all types of music (except techno). Each genre can put me in a place that I can only feel when that song or style is playing.

I remember when I was in 8th grade, going through my emo - before emo was popular phase...as most teenagers do. I would sit in my room with the lights off, candles lit, listening to music, writing poetry and dreaming of what life could be.

I would have never guessed that life would lead me here. Lead me to a place of unending questions, lead me to a place of uncertainty, lead me to divorce at 25, lead me into a new life, a new career opportunity, and lead me a place of unending possibilities.

Often, I go back and listen to the music of my younger years and remember in fond detail the places, people, the loves, the hurts, the desires, and the dreams.

Music brings me back to who I am. Music allows me to connect to myself, and allows me to feel and share feelings with that 3minute song - that no one will ever share with me.

I have a strong respect and passion for music. For there is nothing else in this world that makes me feel what music makes me feel.
