A Life of Music
I feel that I'm only alive because of music. Let me explain, most of us love music and a lot of us feel like we're the only one's that experience music on a deeper level than most. But I can honestly say that music affects me so deeply that it has literally saved my life on a number of occasions, I have suffered from depression for as long as I can remember and I remember the feeling of wanting my life to end around the age of 15. At that time I was on my way to becoming the artist I am today and doing so with my music always in the room or on the go, (it was 1984 so yeah, I had a boom box don't judge.). I had to have it on all the time no matter what to the point that it made my parents crazy, even though it was really their fault. I grew up with my mother playing Fleetwood Mac "Rumors", Chicago's Greatest Hits or James Taylor all over the house, while in the garage on any given Friday or Saturday night, my father would be listening to Merle Haggard, Waylon & Willie, B.B. King, The Rolling Stones or he would have WYSO radio playing bluegrass. I loved all of it and I couldn't get enough of it.

Memorable Moments and Music
Levitating - Dua Lipa As the first notes of "Levitating" filled the air, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and joy bubble up inside of me. I was at the beach with my best friends, the sun warming my skin and the waves lapping at my feet, and this song just felt like the perfect soundtrack to the moment. We all danced and sang along, the music bringing us closer together as we laughed and twirled around in the sand. For that moment, I felt truly free and alive, with nothing but good vibes and happiness all around me. It was a moment I will never forget, a memory that will always bring a smile to my face every time I hear that song again.

The Naked Brothers Band
Before there was Big Time Rush, there was the Naked Brothers Band, a preteen rock band with actual real-life brothers Nat and Alex Wolff and his bandmates: Rosalina, David, Qaasim, Thomas, and Cooper. They were in a television film and a spinoff series that became the highest-rating show on Nickelodeon. Now if you were around in the 2000s and have watched the Naked Brothers Band show I bet you are wondering if the show was unscripted but it's not. It is a fictional scripted show with a band in a comical and dramatic twist.

Summer playlist. (Sad Girl edition) :
10. Summer is great! or it's not. this playlist was made when I was dealing with a lot while the nauseating scent of summer was reeking of my friends. they all loved the hot long days and they mostly stayed out all night. I, on the other hand, had to work at the coffee shop during the hot days, and by the night I was completely exhausted. Days started to blend, and I often catch myself in numbness. it was this very song that got me to ask myself: Where am I? What am doing with my life? or better where is my mind?

A Soundtrack To Life
If life is like a movie, then you have to have a soundtrack, right? It wouldn't make sense for life to not have a playlist of tracks that not only help spell out your life through music, but also give a sense to others about how it felt to be in that moment (or moments). This might be a playlist, but like any great one, it won't fully encapsulate what it is that its trying to evoke in terms of emotion. Nothing, and I mean nothing, will ever fully capture how life is. But, you gotta give it a try, and just like life, you gotta go with the flow. So here's the playlist (in no particular order). There's a description next to the song to show what it invoked or captured in me during those specific moments and segments in time in my life. Some of these tracks don't have lyrics, as they would be included in a film soundtrack. And, some of these songs are not in English. Like in life, sometimes you don't need to fully understand or have words to really make you feel. Here's the playlist:
