About

There’s this moment I have every time I listen to a song where a line just hits me hard. I feel an emotion that can be connected with the artist who wrote it and to the audience that’s listening to it. There’s this feeling of unity, no matter where I am, as long as I’m listening to that song. Sometimes a song makes me smile, sometimes it makes me cry, and other times it makes me angry. But music as a whole inspires me. It fills my lungs and makes me believe in something beyond myself. (This coming from an agnostic, it’s a pretty intense feeling)

Then there’s that moment where I watch a film, and there’s a scene that I will not forget for the rest of my life. It may be comical, dramatic, or action packed. But there is a chill I get when a scene comes on that I know is going to stick with me. Just like a song, a movie can make me feel emotions that aren’t being provoked by people around me.

One of the most immersive forms of media are books. I am constantly reading, allowing myself to be sucked into a new world, or maybe even given new information about my own world. I’ve always been a bit of a bookworm. Yes, I was that kid, sitting in class, reading a book instead of listening to the teacher throughout middle school and high school. Reading books opened something new for me. It made me feel less alone, less misunderstood, and sometimes it simply just gave me an escape.

There’s something relatable in these three forms of media. I see myself in every song I hear, scene I see, and even in the words in a book. I may not be the person seeing that song, or the person in that situation, but I am a person who feels it. Music, film, and books are all about connecting with another human. Because honestly, isn’t that all we are looking for?

A connection?

This is ultimately why I’m starting this blog. I want to share with the world my opinions and emotions when it comes to music, film, and books.
