Melody of Life

Where the music and my soul collide.

“And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.”-― Friedrich Nietzsche

Throughout my life, I've had a fascination with music. Despite the fact that I am not a singer or a composer, I have always had a subconscious ambition to become one in the back of my mind. It's a wonderful feeling when the lyrics of a song tell my tales and the melody accompanies them. I always find myself listening to music because I feel like when the world is against me, it is the only one who understands me.

As I attempted to learn to play various instruments, my love for music grew stronger. It has always been a dream of mine to learn at least one musical instrument. Given that I was still a student, my only source of income was a weekly allowance. I try to save as much money as I can in order to purchase an instrument since I am hesitant to ask my parents for money because I don't want to burden them with additional expenses. When I had enough money saved up, the ukulele was the first instrument I purchased. At first glance, it appears to be a simple instrument to master because, unlike the guitar, it only has four strings. However, it was somewhat difficult because it was my first time handling an instrument and I had no idea where to begin.

When I was learning to play an instrument, I found that watching tutorials on YouTube was quite beneficial. I'm the type of person who prefers to figure things out on my own. My first line of defense is to always do the best that I can before seeking help. When I had already acquired numerous strumming patterns and was able to sing along with the ukulele while playing, my goal had grown even greater in my mind. Now, I am learning to play guitar already, during my spare time. My improvement has been encouraging, even if I am not quite fully satisfactory at this point in my development.

My desire to learn to play an instrument is only the beginning of my fascination with music. I also use Spotify to make playlists. Depending on my mood, I arrange the songs that I enjoy listening to. I sometimes play metal rock songs, pop punk songs, and senti music on other occasions as well. This helps me to acknowledge what I feel and how to cope with it.
