Push Play

There is something about music. I'm not sure what it is, but there is just something about it that brings me to complete peace. I can be having the worst day... but when I pick up the guitar I know I will be fine. Maybe it's because I can express myself better through songs than I can just through plain words. It amps everything up a bit. Sometimes I'm scared to say what's on my mind in fear that it will push someone away. But if I put it in a song? No, that's easy. I can get it all out. What I'm thinking, the feeling... I read earlier that music is what feelings sound like. So when I sing, when I pick up that yamaha that was absolutely worth my graduation money even though I can hardly play, I know I can get my feelings out. Tonight was an amazing night for singing. After my 2 hour class I went to this place at my school we call the Gardens. There are two small buildings facing each other that give new meaning to acoustics. I stepped in there and started singing, did not care who was walking by, I just sang for me. It's crazy how the peacefulness just washes through my entire body. I never want it to end. That's my favorite place. I can go there and just get my feelings up in the air through music. I don't have a "quiet" place. I have a musical place. Feeling frustrated? Go to the Gardens and sing. Feeling overly excited? Go to the Gardens and sing. That building will have my footsteps permanently imprinted by the time I'm done with this school. Music. It cures me. It mends my broken soul. It is who I am.
