Musically Inclined (except not really)...

Music has become one of the most important things in my life. Throughout some of my darkest moments, it's one of the few things that has been able to keep me somewhat close to sanity (apart from God who means everything to me). I can't explain what music does, but between the bass, the drums, guitar, harmonies, melodies and just a whole song in general, I get lost. I truly lose myself.

I like to think I have diverse music taste. I listen to everything ranging from pop, country, musicals, classical, classic rock, alternative, indie, occasional rap (depending on the artist), mariachi, salsa, merengue, 70's, 80's, 90's, Disney songs, The Beatles (yes, I consider them their own genre), and just SO much more. Music is everywhere, there's absolutely no way you can ever avoid it. Everything has it's own rhythm, it's own beat, it's own sound.  I've always wanted to take each of these different sounds, put them together and see what I could take from them, see what harmonies I could create, a melody, make an actual song. Sadly, I feel as if my talents in that particular area aren't necessarily, well good. I highly believe music is a remedy within itself. It's a gift that some use wisely, and others abuse.

Despite how not very musically inclined I am, I've always had dreams of making music my life. What could be better than to pursue a career in what I love the most? My hopes haven't died, it's not something I plan on giving up. Somehow, someway, I'm going to make sure that whatever I end up doing somehow relates to, or is music. I'm pretty sure many others feel the same way, and I understand why. I don't care how impractical it may seem, why am I going to go into a career I don't enjoy? I'll succeed more in something I enjoy instead of something that will make every single day of my life full of misery.

I know music makes people happy, no matter what religion they are or if they don't have a religion at all. I want to make people happy. I want to be able to tell people they're not alone, they can be happy and they will be. Pain is only temporary, it might return but things may fall apart for better things to fall together. Patience is key. Music has helped me be patient. No matter how long I've had to wait something out, music has been the only thing that's stuck like glue, whether it be a church hymn such as O PureVirgin (my personal favorite) or What Makes You Beautiful by One Direction. Just be a bit patient, listen to some music. Things always get better. :)
