Hey guys.
I realise that i haven't posted in a while so i thought why not write about how music helps me. So here it goes.
when i was a kid my dad always played his music really loudly in the lounge room or in his shed and it always made me feel happy. I remember in the backyard we had a trampoline right next to the shed and my dad always played Billy Joel while i bounced and it was one of the best memories i have as a kid. Sometimes i would close my bedroom door, place my blanket on my floor with my teddies around it while playing the Spice Girls CD and pretend that i was performing a concert and that's when i felt my happiest. Like I didn't need anything else in the world. I had trouble through primary school with keeping friends or even making friends and I would spend lunches alone at times and when i would go home and listen to music, it's like none of that even mattered, it was the only thing i needed in the world.
Now as a teenager I understand a lot more in music, what the story of a song is, the meaning behind it, the mood. I've always suffered with Anxiety and when i am having an Anxiety attack or just feeling a little on edge i know that i can always put my earphones in and let the world around me disappear while i enter into my own world. At school I have two "friends" who have been treating me poorly, haven't been talking to me, they walk off on me before i even get a chance to go outside and a few times when i try to talk to them they'll turn around and talk to each other. I have come home in tears on multiple occasions because of this, when i am crying i find myself always listening to Taylor Swift. The way she words her lyrics and how they're musically put together is just so genius and brilliant and i can't thank her enough for how many times her music has helped me through my emotions.
Through music in general i have learned many life lessons such has
1) Don't worry about your status or what happens in school because it's just school, it's not going to follow you for the rest of your life.
2) Don't stress about what people think of you, as long as you are happy with who you are that's all that matters because at the end of the day you are the only person you need to impress.
3) Follow your dreams. It may take years to reach them but if you work hard enough for them, you will get them.
So this is how music has helped me through my life
please leave your comments about what helps you in life or what makes you happy.
