Hello fellow blog readers (if any of you actually exist), today is a day that I find more sweet than bitter. I am writing my last blog post, so this is farewell. Throughout the year I was to write three blogs a week for a class assignment. I started out not knowing what to write about, because I wouldn’t really say I had anything that I was passionate about. Once we started doing reflections after every trimester, I would look back at my blog posts and realized that I may have a passion after all: music.
I think I’d be lying if I said that this school year wasn’t tough; physically, mentally, and emotionally. It seems that the only thing that really got me through all the ups and downs was music. I learned not only that I loved music and that it made me feel good, but that I also was able to appreciate all types of music. Weather it be in the words, or the beat, or both, I always could find something that was beautiful. I think that’s something special. I also learned this year the types of music that I was more interested in. I found new bands and listened to different types of genres that were not my regular go-to. It was amazing to have something new to listen to, and now it’s what I look for; something new. It’s so cool to look back over the year and be able to see myself grow as a person through writing. Even though I wasn’t always 100% into this assignment, I’m glad that I got the chance to do it. It helped me to get my feelings and thoughts out when I wasn’t able to form a coherent thought. It helped me escape from any real life problem that I didn’t want to think about by listening to music and then writing about it. It helped me to vent about things that I felt strongly about; like one of my previous posts about drunk driving (DON’T DO IT. PERIOD.) It helped me realize that I may in fact like writing for fun, but probably not for a class assignment. I may not be very good at it, or maybe I am, but either way I feel that this assignment helped me grow as a person and as a writer.
So farewell friends, I hope you enjoyed reading about my random rants over my obsession over Ed Sheeran and One Direction, and I hoped that you ended up learning something about me, and the things that I’m passionate about. Peace out.
