It's so easy to forget the world

and remember myself

when I'm lost in the highs and lows 

of your melody.

When your words fill my brain

and your beat makes me move,

makes me feel 

something.

Everything.

And sometimes I sing your words 

when I can't find my own 

to purge my soul 

and voice my emotions.

Because through sounds I could never make,

in forms I could never take, you inspire me

to be,

to create,

to dream,

to relax,

to breathe.

To forget the world

and remember myself

in the highs and lows of your melody.

Music is such a huge part of my life, and something I find solace in. When life gets overwhelming, I put on my headphones and a favorite song, and within minutes, my stress starts to melt away, even if for a little while. I meditate and pray and just exist for those moments. We all need those moments.

But sometimes, when that's not enough, I find it so helpful to talk to someone and not keep it all bottled up inside. I'm a super private person, so I know (I KNOW) how hard it is to talk to anyone when things get super hard, but simply giving it voice and/or getting a different perspective can make all the difference in the world.
