Just like every other human being, life has brought me many challenges. There have been times in my life where I thought everything that can possibly go wrong has. But on the other hand, I have had days where my mouth hurt from smiling and I felt like I was on the top of the world. But for every mood, attitude, or challenge, getting through those times, whether tough or joyful, I owe solely to my shrink. No matter what happened my shrink was always there. The advice, whether depressing, angry, or upbeat, kept me moving forward.
Music. Without it I would be lost, at the very least. Being a very passionate person my moods take turns very sharp and go very long. The one thing that heals or embraces those moods is my music. Anytime I need somewhere to turn, someone to relate to, or advice, I pull out my headphones. When I am down, I listen to playlists that will make me feel better. Then on the other hand, when I am super excited or energetic, my other playlist will do just the trick.
I feel as though I have a connection to music that most people do not. When I listen to music, I do not just hear beats and words, I feel them. Music is truly my best friend, it never leaves me, ignores me, or abandons me, it is always there for me. I feel blessed that I have something like music that I can connect and relate to. Without it I would be a whole different person from who I am today, and many things I have accomplished and overcome in my life would not have happened with it. Music is something beautiful, passionate, and true, something I would never give up. My shrink comes in notes and powerful words, not dress pants with a degree.
I agree! Without music, life would be more difficult. For me music is my escape. When I put on headphones I block everything else out so I can focus or get myself in a better mood. Music also helps me calm my nerves before I race.
