Music.
Hmm... what is in a name?
For that which we call a song
by any other name would sound as lovely.
What is in a song?
Why are millions of people compelled
to write their stories on notes rather than paper?
How is it that emotion is more easily portrayed
and love more delicately felt,
through melodies rather than paragraphs?

Perhaps it is the result of a life
controlled by feeling.
We live by how we feel
and songs often reach further than commonplace language.

Whatever the cause may be,
music touches me deeper than anything else.
If you want me to hear you best,
sing to me.
Play for me.
For through melodies and harmonies
My heart listens.
And if you play or sing just the right thing,
if you listen closely you might hear my soul -
singing along.

Things

Life is so diverse and complex. It's never just one thing. I can never say life is bad, because it's exciting, educational and amazing at the same time. I can never say life is simple, because it's confusing and breathtaking too. Oh to wrap it all into one word. All I can call it is: life.

These years of transition into adulthood have been anything but easy or simple, but I would have it no other way. I love my life because it is so insane sometimes.

Some of its many facets are formed by the people in my life. Everyone I know adds value to my journey. Some lead by example how to live an upright life. Others show me how I will choose not to live. So thank you. All of you. If you know me, you have affected me. For those of you that have known me for many years, thank you for all you have done for me. You have blessed me beyond measure. To those of you who have yet to really know me, thank you for your kind words.
