I wish I had a soundtrack to my life....

“Music is life, that’s why our hearts have beats.”

  Music makes the world go round… or something close to that..... Music makes life bearable and sweeter. I wish I had a soundtrack to my life playing always.

 

Music has gotten me through the hardest times in life: breakups, trials, stress, sadness, frustration, and brought light to dark times. Music makes the good times better.

 

We all may have different tastes in music but it all comes down to one thing we all have in common: music has touched our lives in one way or another. It’s a universal love. It brings us together. Music makes you dance. Dancing makes you brave. 

 

I believe time and music helps healing and getting over tough times. Music gives me inspiration and improves my creativity. Music evokes feelings hidden deep inside… ones we thought we forgot and ones we might not know we had. It’s a form of time travel. When everything around you can be falling apart, music is a constant that can hold you together. 

 

 I could go on and on and on about music. I decided to write about it in this post because I’m always listening to it and it just hit me that since it’s such a vital need in my life I wanted to express that.  

I don’t listen to music because it’s “popular” or “not popular” or “unique”. I listen to watch sounds good and what reaches out and pulls me in wanting to put it on repeat.
