This word… I hate this word with a passion. Honestly, it’s probably my least favourite word in existence. I have very strong feelings about bullying. Things I can’t put in this blog. Bullying is the most horrible thing ever, I know this from experience. I’m very familiar with ‘Bullying’. It make you feel small. Unwanted. Useless. Pathetic… Everything which makes you feel like a piece of crap. Which is why I’m not making this blog long… But if you are getting bullied please tell somebody to get it sorted. You might thing they’ll do it more once they found out you’ve told. They don’t. It always gets better, I promise. Please don’t resort to cutting yourself or worse. Anything like this, even if it’s not serious and severe bullying, it’s still bullying and hurting you in some way or another. Its terrible and no one deserves to go through it. You’re not as alone as you feel.
Music isn’t just a rhythm or a beat… it’s a voice and it only speaks to you if you listen to it. Music isn’t a tune to dance to, it’s a fairytale and it wants to whisk you away into a happy ending but only if you listen to its soul, its voice.
Music means so much to me. Music is my life supply of energy. Without music my life would be an empty, dark place and music brightens it up for me. When I don’t have a melody or harmony bouncing on my eardrums I’m a normal girl, in an ordinary world. But when music reaches my ears it takes a journey through me. It speaks to me, because I listen to it. When music reaches my ears I leave the world and go on an adventure that doesn’t even exist, only for me and the music. I feel so… alive when music is with me. Like my body has been sleeping, waiting for the music to wake it up. It does. Everything lights up in me when music is awakening. The beat fits wherever I am and creates a whole new story. The rhythm squashes itself into my body and takes a ride through my blood. Making my heart stomp, the blood sparkly and I feel very much alive. Music is an alien world. It’s a world of its own. It only shows people the many wonders of its world if they listen deep into its soul. The music world has been existing for me ever since music first reached my soul. Growing up different music has told me different stories. I know where I belong and I’ve known it for a while. I belong to music. I am lent to music. Music has let me into its world. Music has helped me find my way, the road I need to go down. Music has planned my destiny and music is where I belong.
