Your first relationship is unforgettable. The passion you have for it, the love and dedication the relationship brings... It's just an all around incredible feeling that never leaves your heart. The best relationship I have ever had didn't lack a single one of these qualities, and I found it at a very young age. From the first time I heard a song come on the radio, to the minute I felt my fingers carefully play the keys of a piano, music just made sense to me. I immediately fell in love with music, and from that moment one, I never looked back.

Music is my first love because it has never left my side. I have always been able to express my inner-most emotions through music. I’ve never been very good with words or expressing myself verbally. I get shy and awkward, and it is easy for me to hide behind silence. But when you listen to my music, my lyrics tell my life story better than I ever could. Music has been there to ease my sorrow when my grandfather died; and it was there to aid me when I was trying to learn to love myself again. It is the one thing that I could count on to be a constant comfort in the worst times of my life. But it has also been there during the very best times of my life. Not just listening to music, but playing it too.

I adore the way music brings people together. I used to be a very shy person, but once people realized I was a musician, they began to find interest in my hobby and want to play music and write with me. I have played music with people I never thought I would. I remember in eighth grade, all of the “popular” girls would sit at a park near my house and just listen to me sing and play guitar. I was very shy in middle school and did not have many friends. It meant a lot to me that people that I looked up to that had so many friends wanted to listen to me sing. I felt honored. Eventually I stopped caring about this, and worked my way up to being one of the top musicians in my high school. I ended up being the popular one. I would then go seek out other people to try to pass on the passion and love of music to. Music ended up bringing different grades of my high school together. We were all from different backgrounds, different classes, some of us had never even spoken before. But we all had one common love. Music.

Music is not something that you can cuddle with or go and get dinner with. But even though it is not a person, it is still something that I have come to love very dearly. Once music enters your heart, it never leaves. You can go anywhere in the world and you will find music of some sort, and you can learn something new about music from any culture. I can truly say that I am in love with music. No matter who walks in and out of my life, music will always be there.
