The reason behind my greatest passion.

Why I Decided To Start Making Music
Adam Carter

Music has always been what I loved since I could really understand it. I always loved the aspects of music and how the chords and songs are put together. I never knew how to really make music when I was younger but I always wanted to make a song. For the longest time in middle school, I would just do some covers and see where I could go with that.The first cover song I made, I released my 8th-grade year. The song was to this girl that I had feelings for, and I really didn't know what to say to her in person. So I wanted to let YouTube do the work for me. As cliche as that may sound, I felt that was the better way to go about the situation. But this was just the beginning of how I started to make music and why I decided to.

The reason I decided to pursue music is because I wanted to make something of myself. I first started recording songs my freshman year of high school in 2009. I wanted to start making music mainly because I was pretty depressed at this time. I didn't feel comfortable in my own skin and I didn't know what to do. So I started writing songs to clear my mind and help me cope. I also wanted to start this music for my mother. My mother has provided for me, supported me with all my goals and aspirations, and has been through so much in her life. I just want to pay her back everything she deserves. Now that I am older I feel that I am so much better with my music and I have so much to talk about now. My wordplay, flow, and how I create my songs is so diverse and I love the sound that I am coming into. The main topics my songs really relate to are relationships, fallen flings, things that I want to recreate, or just life in general and my goals. Thus, far I am most proud of "Joint", a song you can find on Soundcloud under the handle "YangGang_AC".

At the end of the day, I just hope my dreams and aspirations with my own music can become a reality for me. I want to make my mother proud and set her up for life. I want to prove everyone wrong, to show that I have what it takes to make it. Music is my passion, the reason why I am in school and earning my degree and I hope everyone can take this ride with me.

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.
