I listen to music because it entertain, inspire, and relate to my life. Personally for me, music plays a huge role in my life. Music can change your mood. Whenever you are sad, you can listen to a happy song so you can feel better. In addition, you can relate to a song which can also make you feel better because there is someone out there that knows what you are going through. My playlist is a list of songs that not only represent who I am but also help motivate and empower me whenever I listen to them. Some of the artists such as Simple Plan, I had listened to them when I was younger. Their songs help me get through middle school because I could relate to them. Two of them are I’m Just a Kid and Perfect. They relate to me because as a kid, life seemed difficult and I was trying to fit in. Even now, I’m still learning, adjusting and finding my place in the world. The song, Perfect, is like a constant reminder that I shouldn’t be aiming for what other people think is perfect. These songs speak for who I am because I can personally relate to them. I had been in the same situations as some of the songs mentioned such as trying to aim for perfection. Other songs in my playlist are what I listen to help encourage myself and to step out of my comfort zone. The songs: Part of Me by Katy Perry, and Shake it Off by Taylor Swift encouraged me to not change who I am because of what other people say or what other people may think of me. The rest of the songs are what I listened to recently.
