Personal Narrative: I Believe In Music

I listen to music as much as possible. I have learned that inside music I can find peace. I can often times find myself in tough situations but when I put in my earbuds I feel as if the world has fallen out from beneath my feet. I feel music relates to every situation, feeling, or throughout my life.
I believe in music. Music gives me a companion, it can represent and share my feelings, it adopts human characteristics. Music just like me can be melancholy, depressed, dark, energetic, upbeat, and bright this allows it to become an outlet; allowing me to feel as if there is someone sharing my current mood. When I am depressed I find myself listening to up beat music letting my thoughts fly free in the up beat rhythm and bright melody as it lifts my spirits becoming a crutch. I remember the song I was listening to when a major event took place in my life.
The first time a close family member passed away I was very traumatized until that point I had been so naive to the concept of death my thoughts on life were suddenly uprooted and I drifted into a period of depression, but music was there
for me like a friend pulled it shared the experience the feelings and thoughts I had. I listen to songs that shared my feeling; sad songs, songs with odd time signatures that seemed to embody my confusion. Music became like a living being that could embody the same emotions that I was feeling it gave me a companion that could build me up and provide and outlet for my feelings.
Music has forever been a big part of my life I can remember the songs I listened to in the car with my parents, when we would go on long road tips. I find myself returning to these songs as they remind me of a time with out responsibility they allow me to escape the reality that; I am growing older with each passing day, and that I have a perpetually growing number of responsibilities.
Music gives me a portal that allows me to escape the world, it allows me to be any where in the world as I scroll through playlist of foreign genres I can instantly be teleported any where in the world from Africa, Jamaica, all the way to China, and Europe.
Music can provides me an escape from the world as it is, it gives me freedom. It can make me happy, sad, and energetic. When I find myself in a high tension situation playing classical music instantly soothes my thoughts it's gives me a break from reality from the stress of school and day to day life. Music can can free our souls and allow them to dance though the complex system of notes and words then when played together become a beautiful song that lift us up and give us companionship. It can make us not feel so alone in life, it can make us happy, it can make us sad, it can help us remember as much as it can help us
forget.
