TTMMFA: Music
CHAPTER 1
THINGS THAT MAKE ME FEEL ALIVE:
Music. I listen to music almost every day. I can't do my schoolwork without music. I feel incomplete washing the dishes without music. I feel incomplete traveling without music blasting in my ears. In fact, I'm listening to music as I am writing this page.
Music is a form of art that expresses the creator's emotions through its elements. Music has different genres; the popular genres are pop, hip-hop, jazz, and R&B. Personally, I listen to every genre, and it depends on my mood at the moment what I will listen to.
When I listen to music, I like it organized. I want all of the same vibes and similar sounds put together in one playlist — so when I want to listen to it, I'll be in another world. I am too lazy to create playlists most of the time as I need to establish a "momentum" before I can make a playlist that will satisfy me. Thus, when I listen to songs that aren't on my playlists, I usually go to the song radio so I'll be able to achieve the playlist-like experience without creating the actual playlist.

Music has been one of my escapes too. As I've mentioned on the previous page, I like reading better with music. It bought me to another world — where I can take a break from everything. In a blog entitled "How Music Relieves Stress and Helps You Relax," it was stated that listening to music can decline the stress hormones your body releases when you feel threatened. An article by Thoma M. et al. (as cited in the same blog, "How Music Relieves Stress and Helps You Relax") stated that music can also help you recover from stress faster than you would without music. That being said, music indeed helps with the stress that is a given in this world.
If I'm not reading or listening to music — you'll find me doing my other interest. Watching.

ReplyDeleteWow! You really have a good choice of genre! If it's okay, could you recommend some songs in the said genre? Thank you so much in advance for it! Lastly, I hope that music will never stop being your escape from the chaotic world we live in!
DeleteI agree with you that listening to music is a great escape from reality. It allows us to forget our problems for a meanwhile. We can scream our lungs out to release our feelings and the stress that we have. Music is a great companion!
ReplyDeleteI agree! Music is the best companion, especially when you can't figure out what you feel. Words can't even describe how good the feeling of screaming my lungs out for a good song is — one of the best feelings in the world.
DeleteJamming to music while studying is my way to cope up with stress. And just like you, I also listened to it everyday. I even made almost 15+ playlist already. It is indeed the universal language of mankind - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
ReplyDeleteI wish I have the productivity to create playlists like you! Indeed, no matter how much we differ, we can always find our similarities in music.
