Music IS a higher power. It speaks to the soul and through the soul. It brings you back to either joyous memories or heartbreaking ones. I could not live without music. I sing everyday and I always have. With that being said, I am not the best singer. But I absolutely love it. Music has been engrained into my mind ever since I was young. It is not only a piece of my life, but it is apart of me. I can listen to a piece of music and feel so much. It truly soothes me. It is a special and unique cure for pain, that no amount of medicine can touch or heal. Maybe not physical pain- but emotional and mental pain. I could listen to the song, "New American Classic" by Taking Back Sunday, over and over, and feel as though my mind, body, and soul is completely relaxed and serene. Each time I listen to it, I focus my mind on a particular instrument. Ahh, it is beautiful. And only music can do that. Excuse me, any art form, can do that. At least for me.
I am so thankful to say that I am learning to play the guitar as a form of better expression of myself- my thoughts, my feelings, my emotions, my experiences.
I will continue to play and sing and enjoy and listen, until I physically cannot play, sing, or listen anymore. But I will always enjoy- until the very end.
