For as long as I can remember, music has been a special part of my life. Throughout my childhood, my family constantly had music playing in our house. I enjoyed the music that my parents liked, from The Beatles to John Denver to the Irish music that everyone in my family loved. As I grew older, music remained something that was important to me. It became more and more meaningful to me as I began to develop my own taste in music. I started finding songs that I preferred over others, and I found singers that I admired. Taylor Swift was my favorite; I loved her poetic lyrics and I looked up to her as a person. As an idealistic child who loved to daydream, I loved all of Taylor Swift's passionate songs about love and the beauty of life.
As I grew older, I began to develop a unique taste in music. I saw the world of music as a place to explore, a place where I could discover who I was and express myself. I loved listening to different types of music and finding my own bands that I liked. My bands were like a collection to me; I could keep adding more to enjoy and to show to other people. Listening to music was a hobby for me. It allowed me to feel as if I was free to do whatever I wanted to do. I felt happiest when I was listening to music because it was, and still is, my favorite thing to do.
I felt a sense of freedom and independence when I could choose whatever I was in the mood to hear, and I loved feeling as if I could use music to express myself and my personality. Music gave me the ability to be an individual. I took piano lessons since I was nine years old, and music had always been significant in defining who I was. But listening to my own favorite bands and singers made me feel as if I could choose music that I believed reflected who I was. I loved that music allowed me to be my own person, no matter what others would think. When I chose my favorite music, I chose it for me and no one else. I was a shy and quiet child, even during high school, and music gave me the ability to be someone else. When I listened to music, I could be whoever I wanted to be.
During my teenage years, music was not only a hobby for me, but it was an outlet for my emotions. Whenever I felt sad or afraid, I listened to my favorite music and instantly felt less alone. My music was comforting to me and it reassured me that everything would be okay. When I was happy, music gave me a way to celebrate and to express that happiness. Music was always there for me, no matter what happened in my life. It was a constant that I knew I could depend on for support and comfort when I needed it. I thought of music as a friend, someone who could always make me feel better. For me, music was the answer to any problem that I encountered.
Music was a friend that has always been there for me and I know that it will never leave my side. It has allowed me to discover myself as an individual and to express myself more freely. Music has brought me so much joy in my life that I would not trade for anything. I know that no matter what changes in my life, I will always be able to turn to music. The impact that music has had in my life has been so incredible and I know that it will only develop further over the years.
