What keeps me going.

What keeps me going? If anything is worthy of the honor of that title, it is Music. Music is a constant in my life, whenever I get the chance I pull out my iPod, load up my music and listen to something. I like a wide variety of music and I have enough music to fit any mood I may be in. Music even helps me sleep, if I am on the bus or in a car, with music on I can doze off almost instantly. Music can also spark my creativity when I am in a slump. Music can block out the inane blathering of the crazies on the bus or my classmates and peers when I’m not in the mood to listen to them. Music is a primal force that is a fuel and a catalyst for many emotions or moods. It can make me recall all of the moments that I associate with that song or band. It guides me and shapes me, changing the way I think and how I view the world. It is powerful and primal, tapping into a reserve of force and emotion that is deeper than most anything I know. When I am doing something physically intensive, it lends me the strength and adrenaline necessary to preform well and do my best. It aids in concentration on a test or homework, which is a great boon due to my difficulty’s with actually concentrating on my homework with all of the distractions in my daily life.
