I refuse to let my thoughts control me. I hate how I overthink to the point of tears, or how I avoid the main topic of why I'm overthinking. I choose to let music speak for me half the time because it can honestly fit 99% of the time to any situation I may be in.

Music tends to speak when words fail for me, something many can relate to-but only some let it be apart of themselves. It describes feelings as well as emotions, and how one can connect with another is amazing. All of this just due to various sounds, beats, and melodies which turn into something meaningful, each genre able to effect a person in numerous ways.

I feel when I sing, I express not only myself- but my emotions. It's a creative outlet, just like writing itself is too. You can put so much passion and drive into a single song or even a single lyric.

Then again, you cannot let these words and melodies define who you are. You are the only one who can let yourself succeed, whether the lyrics guide you or you decide to use your own voice.

I've always been the girl who's outgoing. Many people would say I'm a person who wants to make the most of everything along with help everyone. Music is a creative way for me to create conversation, friendships, and even just ease any mood.

Music has gotten me over breakups, helped inspire me to continue doing great things, helped motivate me, to relax, and well, to even become a better version of myself. I've built up more confidence, along with being able to express myself through singing and learning about different rhythms, beats, and melodies.

Whether I wake up with an upbeat and happy song, or end up dancing my way into getting ready, music has always been a great outlet and I wouldn't change it for the world.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."
