It has amazed me time and time again, how when I'm going through any season in my life, I can always find the perfect song to express myself to. This is brought about by a number of different ways, either by listening to a song for the first time( and then oh my god, this song is my life!:); or by listening to a song and at first and not really understanding it. but then as time goes on, you begin to relate to it and it starts holding so much more meaning than before. Ever since I was 12, I've found such solace and comfort in music. When I'm happy and feeling positive( or in love, as is the case lately:) ), I listen to music. When I'm feeling sad or lonely, I listen to music. When I need a friend or something to lean on, I listen to music. When I'm feeling dark and depressed and want someone to tell me I'm not alone in my pain; I can always find some song by one of my girls to use as an outlet.
I literally can not survive without music. There's always those times in every person's life where there's no one there for them to cry to and confide in. It's always in those moments that music is most precious and valuable to me. I'd feel like I might explode, if I didn't belt my heart out to the tune of my favorite lyrics and the ones closest to my heart. It's such a beautiful, powerful thing to me, which is why I've always wanted to be a singer. To be able to open up my heart to people through my words and stories and through emotional, passionate music is my dream.
I want to, like Christina Perri and Lana Del Rey, encourage/inspire and love people through my songs. I want them to know that they're not alone in their heartbreak, and that their scars will turn to beauty. I want to impact someone so much, that their outlook on life begins to change and they find hope in their darkest hour. This is what my music has done for me, because what you listen to is so incredibly important. It influences every single aspect of your life and beliefs on things. One line in a song even can make all the different in decisions you make and whether you choose to believe or give up. So, thank you to JJ Heller, Ellie Goulding, Christina Perri, Lana Del Rey, and every singer that has ever brought my joy and hope and inspired me in so many ways. I'm more grateful than I can possibly describe in words. The gift of your music will go on blessing people forever.
