The Music in My Life
"Music is the strongest form of magic."
-Marilyn Manson
Music: I love it. What more is there to say? It's the joy everyone searches for. It's there when we need it, bringing love, happiness, comfort, and a way to relate it to our lives to. Ever since the first and second grade when I started piano, I've loved music. Reading the notes, learning the rhythems, and playing the tunes. Music is in me, as it is in everyone, but only some of us listen to it. This is my passion, and I will always love it!
I also love to perfom in theater. I've been involved in several of my high school's plays and musicals. In the elementary school, my class did a few plays, but I was far too young to realize that I loved it. When I was in the middle school, my mom brought me to many of the high school performances. Ever since the very first plays I saw, I wanted to be a part of it. They all looked like they were having so much fun! When I joined for the first time in my eighth grade year, I loved it! The people, the performing, the whole shebang. It was better than I had imagined it to be while I was sitting in that auditorium chair, looking up at the stage and the young actors and actressses standing on it. This was a whole new world, and I was going to be in it! Then, there I am, onstage, casting my eyes over the audience. Yikes! I had friends out there, my family too, whom had come to see me. Naturally they would all tell me I did great, no matter what they thought, but I really wanted to make it perfect. It was my first real performance, and I had my first solo. At the end of the show, we took our bows. The smile on my face could not have been bigger or brighter. Nailed it! I could barely remember how my performance went. Was I amazingly talented, or just okay? Was it a success? When can I do it again? So many questions on so many things were buzzing through my mind, but the one thing I didn't forget, that had no questions, was the way I felt. It was sort of a warm and fuzzy feeling, with some joy and happiness, and there was probably some adrenaline in there. It's the way people feel after they have accomplished a task and they are pround of their work. If you look back on an event or situation in your life, and you can say full and proud with a smile on your face, "Yeh, I did that, and it couldn't have been better," that is the way I felt. I was comfortable, surrounded in this atmosphere. I was completely, one hundered percent me. This is how I want to feel for the rest of my life, and this is the way music makes me feel. Simple as that.
