The reason teens and college students across the world aspire to be big time artists.

Why We Make Music

Started at a young age, we noticed that these people made songs for everyone around the world. Artists in a way ruled the world. When you went on youtube you saw an endless amount of music. When you watched TV you heard music in the background or the artists were interviewed for their hit single or music video that just dropped. MTV, CTV, BET, etc... as kids we were surrounded by music. In the car with your parents you listened to your favorite song but if it had bad words they would change it. From that time you got your first iPod with no screen, to the iPod touch with hundreds maybe even a thousand or more songs on it. Music has been a part of our lives since we could remember.

As we get older we notice that girls love people like Justin Bieber and we just wanted girls to like us. For girls, they noticed that female artists had all the guys and best designer clothes. We all wanted to be them, for whatever reason. We envied the life of artists and we also wanted the fame and the money and everyone to like us. As a young teen, we did not understand everything that came with the fame. We thought that being on TMZ was cool, paparazzi following us around was what we wanted. We didn't understand that there is no privacy when you're famous, but we eventually figured it out. We saw how media negatively affected the lives of famous people and the relationships that they have. Now we are doubting whether we want to be famous or not.

We are even older, late teens or young adult and now we have really gotten into music and the lives of our famous celebrities. We look up to these artists because we like the message they share through their music or who they are as a person. Whether they are goofy on social media or they are interested in some of the same things we are interested in. As we get older we invest more time into music and invest more time in getting to know the artist beyond music.

Why we make music? We make music to be the inspiration we had. We make music to send a message and show people that they are not the only ones who are going through a rough time. Whether you have a million fans or are a normal person on the street, you go through stuff. That is why we make music. Music is not just a form of art or a form of profit. It is a lifestyle, it is a way to inspire generations to come. Music is everything to some of us, it can make us feel a million different emotions. Music can help someone make it through a bad day. We make music because we need music. Life would be boring without music and so stressful if we did not have music to listen to so that we could relax and free our minds. Music allows us to be creative. It lets us share our life experiences and how we feel.

Why we make music? there is no one reason, but an endless amount of reasons. In case you were wondering.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
