What makes me happy?
What makes me happy?
To me personally, music is my everything, music is my escape. If I’m not singing or writing down new song lyrics, you’ll probably find me playing a guitar. My whole life is surrounded by music, It’s my way to express myself. It’s my way to say the things I can’t describe otherwise.
A few years ago, life lost its meaning, I didn’t find the joy that everyone else had.
I was tired, not physically, but mentally. I didn’t want to get up and go to school, I was too tired of doing anything at all.
There were times when all I did was laying in my bed and listening to music. Music helped me escape the reality, I didn’t want to face my problems.
My other escape has always been figureskating. Even though I had, and still have, some serious problems with my back, it never stopped me doing what I love. Skating helped me dealing with the pain, when I’m on the ice, all the pain dissapears. Every movement is a line of the story, you just have to look carefully.
While going through my darkest times, I found bands like Black Veil Brides, The Pretty Reckless, Halestorm ja Motionless In White. Those bands really helped me, they gave me hope when It was needed. I felt a straight connection to their song lyrics, I felt like I wasn’t alone anymore.
Of course family and friends are important too, but they can’t stitch your wounds. They can listen, but only you have the key to make the change.
