a musical story...

ever since I was a little kid, I was super interested in music. My dream at age 8 or 9 was to be a drummer. My parents got me my first ever keyboard for my 8th birthday. It was the coolest gift I ever received. I was soo excited to learn how to play. At first I just listened to the pre-set songs and pretended to know what I was doing. it took me about a year to learn my first few songs which included 'happy birthday' and 'silent night,' which I played for my whole family one Chirstmas Eve. As I got older, I continued to self -teach myself how to play the keyboard, although I liked to learn songs that were meant to be played on a piano lol I was soo proud of myself that I learned to play the keyboard by myself and the age of like 9 years old. And I'm still super proud of myself today! I started itching to learn the guitar in high school, but being the naive girl I was, I had to do and be what every1 else was. [i regret that about myself so much] I finallyade it to college, where I honestly feel ive truly become myself. For my 20th birthday, I got my very first guitar! A black acoustic/electric Ibanez guitar!! It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. I, once again, taught myself how to play the guitar. I learned my first song with in a few weeks. and then I began to learn songs from artist I really liked, like NeverShoutNever[my idol/Hero], Hey there Delilah, Boys like girls and so on. I've begun to learn the basic, which I learned when I first got my guitar almost two years ago. But I'm going baks to the basics so that I can truly play the guitar for real! I never realised how much I truly love playing the guitar, I just feel right. Sooo many lyrics, thoughts, ideas come to my head and it helps to deal with soo much. I have a lot on plate for a really long time ad playing music helps me deal even if it's only for a little while. Im really excited about the future and where my love for music will take me. I hope somewhere incredible. It's always been a secret dream of mine to go on tour, like in a band. That would be amazing!!

I can't tell you were my love for all things music comes from. Neither one of my parents is musical, and I love my mom to death but the woman can not sing for her life. I'm pretty sure my grandparents are in the same boat as my parents. I mean honestly I tell myself that I have this love for music because I was born on Elvis Presley's birthday[January 8th] But I mean that's just a little silly thing I tell myself, and is so bad that half believe its true lol

I don't care where my love for music comes from, and I'm discovering that my love grows more and more every year it seems like. When I was younger I wanted to be a lawyer or a teacher. I didn't think at all about pursuing music. But I've been considering a career in the music industry since high school now. All I know is that [cliché saying] life is seriously way too short to be spending a large part of it doing something that you don't like doing. I just want to live my life toy fullest potential and just do whatever it is I want. It'sy life and I only have this one to lead so I'm going to enjoy the little things and live my dreams because that all that we have in the end.

Do you have a passion for music? Myabe something else? Do share, I'd love to hear about it! : D

Remember to live for YOU and absolutely nobody else!!
