Hey all!

 

So I have been told numerous times that I need an outlet.  A place to let my feelings out.  I am definitely the type of person that keeps everything bottled up because I think I can handle it.  I think that I don’t need people’s help, or even worse, I am too proud to ask for people’s help.  To me, on a subconscious level, asking for help is a sign of weakness.  Even though on some level, I know it’s not.  But still, I don’t ask for help.  So then all my emotions just get locked up in a bottle that is ready to break. And let me tell you from experience here that it breaks at the worst time.  I have unloaded my feelings on people who definitely did not deserve it.

I decided to start blogging because of two reasons.  One, the more obvious one, is that I think it is a great outlet.  Whether or not anybody ever reads this isn’t really important to me, I guess.  Though I would love feedback, I think the important thing is that I’m putting myself out there, writing down  all the things I can’t say in person.  I am definitely horrible and vocalizing my thoughts.  Which leads me to number two.  I love to write.  And I’m good at it.  So here is my place to write down everything I can’t say. Though I am working on that whole “saying what I want to say” thing, I at least feel better having a little “cheat sheet” of sorts at my disposal.

So why did I pick a music theme?  Well, music is one of the best things in the world to me.  Mostly because I can find music that fits my mood.  If I’m angry, I listen to angry music.  If I just want to chill, I listen to relaxing music.  You get the point.  But music always has this way, no matter what sort of mood I am in, of making me feel better.  And yes, all of my posts will probably have song titles.  So if you don’t know the song, it gives all you music fans out there some incentive to find a sound that you might not have heard before.  This title comes from a great, relatively unknown band named Cobra Starship.

I hope that all of you out there will read this, comment, and generally enjoy this blog.  It’s nothing fancy, but since I have a lot going on in my life right now (which will inspire many posts, believe me), I figured I would just write it all down.  Thank goodness I like to write.  Until next time!
