We all have things we can't live without. Some things are a little more dramatic than others. One thing you probably neglect to think of right off the bat is music. But think about it for a second... going through even one day without music would probably be super boring. We all listen to music more than we even realize, even if it's just the sound in the background while you're chatting with your friend at Starbucks.
Music has been around since the beginning of time, helping people release stress, utilize their creativity, and relax their minds. It can be a saving grace for all of us, whether we're singing along with it, falling asleep to it, or listening to it at the gym. Whether we realize it or not, life wouldn't be the same without listening to music. If you're anything like me, you'd literally cease to exist if music wasn't there to help you through life. What else would you do if you were by yourself... just stare at the wall?
If you realize that your life actually does revolve around listening to music, then this list will hit home for you:
1. You get weirded out when someone says they "don't really listen to music that much."
2. You listen to your favorite song so frequently that you eventually start to hate it.
3. Your headphones are literally the most important thing you own and you'd die without them.
