Inspiration

When things become a maze of confusion in reality there is always one thing that you can turn to to get through: Music.

I know it sounds corny and unbelievable but music is something that can touch you so deep that you can't even separate your thoughts from it. Music has the power to change lives and make you think of the world in a different context.

I can honestly say that I love making music. I love singing along to songs on the radio, I love opening up the windows and singing loud enough for the people two floors below to hear! I love playing (badly) along with my guitar. I don't think that life my life would be the same without MUSIC.

I wake up in the morning and the first logical thing that pops into my head is a song. I'll be in class and the professor will say something that resembles lyrics and that entire day I am singing that song softly to myself, waiting impatiently until I can listen to it when I get back to my room. 

So for me, you can see how hard it is not to get to fully explore my love for creating music. When you feel like you have music in your soul and you have to settle for something that gives you a better opportunity to succeed, it hurts. 

That's why next semester I want to focus my Capstone presentation on something that explores not only this side of my life, but focuses on the way that this dilemma affects all college students. I want to take this idea and create a documentary of sorts. I know that it's going to be a handful, but I think that this is something I need to do before I move on to a school where my primary focus is going to be on my writing.

I need to let that side take a little bit more of my life before it becomes consumed by the worlds that I will spin with my words when I finally start focusing on my novels.
