          Music is everything to me. What would I do without it?
         
          The other thing I love is literature. Poems, stories, lyrics. Reading and evaluating what the words mean is something I like to do in my spare time. Also writing. But you know what actually helps me write? Listening to music. The two really work together...both are art.
          It has to be the right kind of music. Instrumental music fills my soul with sounds that don't even have to do with words, and I like that. Because then I'm not thinking about the words that the songs say, but rather the thoughts that pop into my head because of what the music makes me feel. Sometimes I don't even think. I just get overwhelmed--like I'm in a trance. And that's what helps me focus. Sounds like an oxymoron, I know.

I love music that makes people want to sing along. I love singing along to my favorite songs. When you express your feelings in song, it brings your true feelings to the surface and it is amazing. In song, the world seems to disappear and make everything seem less important. Here are some links to my favorite songs to sing along with:

I'm so sorry to post so much, but there's a lot I have to get off my chest!

So just a few minutes ago, I was watching segments from my favorite Disney movies... (I'll put the links on so that you can see what kind of stuff I like...if you want to. If not, this is for my benefit haha).

SIMBA AND SCAR:

Anyway, sorry got off subject there. My point is... all of these movies were made BEFORE the year 2000. That struck me as interesting. And also: all of these movies have sort of dark parts that have conflicts. Disney hasn't DARED to do that lately.

Why is that?!

Also... have you noticed how these older movies NEVER get old? And lately Disney movies have begun to annoy me. This makes me sad. I mean, Disney is sooo good, what an amazing legacy, right? But they're losing the touch because they only put happiness there. What happened to fear? Despair? All the negative emotions besides sadness...? 

The villains I love to hate?!

That is all. Please comment. ;)

3rd Post :)

In reply to the second post posted by my fellow bloggers, I did not actually know about blogger's new system until I wrote this post. It is really weird and I can't seem to get used to it. ANYWAY, I am going to the temple on Saturday! Super excited! :)

Second Post

          SO, I just feel like I want to complain about the new Blogger website. It may seem more user-friendly to some people, but I'm not used to it and it's hard to adjust. Hopefully I can get used to it. I think my fellow bloggers may understand me. If you are one of them, comment and tell me what you think about it...

          But, on a happier note, the temple is a wonderful place to go. Doing the Lord's work is amazing. Just so you know.

First Post

I decided I'm going to do the first post...

I don't know if I love this, or if I hate it. I guess it's a mix of both. 

Listening to sad music when you're sad...

I don't know why we do it. But I have a theory. Because when you're sad, you need something to build you back up. Like when some people feel bad about themselves, they make fun of some people. So when some people are sad, they listen to sad songs, because the people in the songs are worse off than them.

I don't know. What do you think? In the meantime, here:
