Oh How I Wish I Could Sing...

"Remember those walls I built?
Well baby they're tumbling down
And they didn't even put up a fight
They didn't even make a sound
I found a way to let you in
But I never really had a doubt
Standing in the light of your Halo
I got my angel now"
-Beyonce, "Halo"


A few years ago, I had came to the realization of how much music means to me. I may not listen to every single song, but the ones that stick out to me--lyrically more than rhythmically--has such a special way of talking to me and relating to me. Songs like Halo, I Found Myself, and countless other songs speaks directly to my heart and soul. It is so funny how someone you do not know personally can share the same experiences or feel the same emotions that you can be feeling in the present moment.

Without music, I really do not know how I would cope with my life. Music makes me happy, holds me down when I'm sad or angry, makes me believe in love, makes me believe in the good times and assure me that I can always get out of the bad times. Without music, I would not know how to relieve my stresses and obstacles--especially since I love to dance. Putting both together gives me such an escape from life; being able to express myself with movements, and if I'm not moving I can express myself through the words of the artists. Hopefully, music will be there for me the rest of my life.
