The Power of Music

Music.
When notes come together to make the perfect chord.
When voices blow you away.
When a single chorus has more emotion that if it was spoken.

To me, music tells a story.
I always pay close attention to the lyrics,
I listen to every word, hearing the message.
Whether it's about heartbreak, love, or having fun.

Music is always filled with the emotion I wish I could express.
If I hear a sad song, I cry.
It is easy to feel the emotion an artist conveys better than what you read in a story.
At least, that's how I see it.

Music has helped me out so much.
I sing because, to be honest, it's probably one of the only things I'm actually good at.
And I'm not even that great at it.
But I love it so much.
I feel apart of something bigger than myself.
I feel special when I sing, because I know all eyes are on me.
Because of my passion, I have improved so much throughout my life.
I've done things I never thought I could with singing.
I've made top choirs in school, the region, and the state.
I did musicals.
I've even overcome the fear of singing a simple solo.
Music helped me realize that I'm more than just a girl living in Gilbert, Arizona.

This past year, I didn't sing.
And it's been hard.
But I'm coming back,
And I'm gonna kill it. <3

Love,
Brittany Lauren
