There are so many different ways to express yourself, but for me music has always been my go to. Music is my muse, it helps me when no one else can. It can mellow me out and express emotions in the most pure way. It can have no words, but yet, still have a strong message.

Throughout my life, I have struggled a lot with anxiety and depression. Friends come and go and life gets super hard sometimes, but music is always there. There is a song for everything. There is a song for when you feel sad, mad, happy, in love, frustrated or just about anything.

There are so many different varieties of music: EDM, pop, rap, country, rock, heavy metal, R&B, etc. I have yet to meet one person who doesn't like any kind of music. If they don't, then they should immediately seek professional help. (OK I realize this was over the top, but c'mon, are you even human if you don't like music at all?)

Music is also timeless, sure some tunes may sound the same but there is no song that is exactly like the other. Much like a fingerprint, music and songs aren't exactly the same. It depends on the person writing the music, each writer has their own style and ways to create songs.

Writing has always been an outlet for people everywhere to get their feelings out. Lyrics are much like poems when you think about it. Lyrics can be written about anything, there is no right or wrong thing to write about. The words in songs are raw and real. They are relatable to listener, which is another reason that music is super appealing.

Dancing is a really fun way to express yourself. Although it does not have to be done with music, music can inspire your movements. What would a club or party be without music? Awkward, that's what.

Music can help you let loose, in the best possible way. It is such a pure form of expression. Music can focus you. Whether it's when you workout, do schoolwork or even fall asleep.

The time that one song takes to play can really help calm you down. If you are angry or upset, those two to four minutes can really change your mood. Sometimes music is the only thing that can truly express how you feel. Music can set you free. It sparks thought but can also mellow your racing brain. There are not many things (that are legal), that can do that for people. I think that is a beautiful thing.

I don't think people realize how important music is in our society. Music brings people together, it always has. From churches to concerts, music makes people come to together in a similar interest.
