Why music is underrated.

Stay In Tune

To most people, music is just a form of entertainment or a noise to fill the room. To others, music is much more. It's funny how we interact as humans and how alike two strangers can be when given a certain topic. As you guessed, I'm going to talk about music. It's another language. It can connect two complete strangers on opposite sides of the world or it can connect two friends on a deeper level.

It's crazy how, when put together, sounds and words can change someone's life. Whether it inspires you or makes you think, it's up to you. That's the beauty of something so raw and unrelated is the fact it is open to interpretation. Knowing that there is something on this planet that has the ability to connect so many people is frightening, but at the same time comforting. Even if you are one of those people who do not completely feel the same way as some people about music, it's undeniable that music fills a void within us whether it be emotionally or just by changing the mood of a room.

We live in a world where we fight more then we get along and that's a scary thing. For something like music to allow for people to find common ground is one of those things that is over looked on so many levels. Besides that, it also shows the evolution of just how far we've come since the 19th century being that now music is easily accessible for everyone. I think I'm getting too technical but it is one of those things that does not get half the credit it deserves.

Whether you are a classical type of person or an EDM type of person, the beauty is that there is something for everyone. Everyone is able to find where they belong in a musical world, which is one of those things that makes you feel safe. To know that in a world that's so big, there is somewhere you belong and people you belong with; it is an overall place to call home. Am I saying music is home? Absolutely not, but it gives you a place to feel comfortable. Music gives you people who understand you in ways that other people may not. The beauty of that is when you can't find the words to vocalize how you feel, you can simply play a song and it's as if you poured your heart out without fully becoming vulnerable and still getting your point across. I think it is amazing how something can evolve so much yet still be the way it was. I mean, the same songs are still played now. Some things are timeless and I think it goes without saying that music is one of them. So put your favorite song on and just jam.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
