Moments Through Music

Music has been incorporated into my life since I was a small child. I can remember listening to songs on my mother's radio or hearing my dad talk about the concerts he went to as a kid. Growing up, I began to evolve my playlists with music that spoke to me and my personality. Some songs made me want to dance or sing, others got me through depression or breakups. I can look at my music and remember a single moment from my past and feel those emotions flood in like it was just yesterday. Music has always helped me feel empowered and grounded. Creating a playlist of songs that have helped me become who I am can give others a little window into my soul. Each song moves between different moments throughout my life that have shaped me. It shows my progression from a teen to the adult that I am today. These songs bring me back to those instances of pain, loss, and losing that childhood spark. However, like with life, there are also instances of pure joy, elation, and calm.
