This morning I remembered what sparked me to start writing this blog. I was going through something deeply depressing and aggravating and I remember how music would serve as a temporary vacation for my mind. When you listen to a song, anything is possible during those 3-4 minutes. You can daydream your own version of what would be happening with that particular song in the background and no matter how far fetched it is from your reality, for that 3-4 minutes, it's real in your mind. Your brain needs these vacations from time to time. I remember now how important for me they really are.
Another thing I remembered is how powerful music's affect is on my ability to write what I feel, and express myself better. As I vigorously assault the fitness equipment each morning and fade away into my iPod, words begin to dance in my head. Everything flows smoothly and I think clearer and logically, rather than irrationally. It's a drug to me. My natural remedy for the asphyxiation I used to feel about my life. I can't think of a better way to describe it.
Another thing I have learned about music is that in almost every single life hurdle, there's a song that is relatable. Much like the popular Apple iPod advertises, "there's an app for that", the same goes for music in relation to your own personal struggles. There's a song for that. Find your song and wait for your mind to send you the message. It will make sense.
Ciao friends :)
