Video games are very important. Studies have shown that it improves hand-eye coordination. I remember playing video games as a child because it was something my brothers, cousins and I would all love to do together. We would spend time and have fun.

Growing up, I’ve always loved video games even though my brothers and I would always get in trouble for sitting down and playing all day long and doing nothing else. Til this day we still get in trouble because once we start we don’t stop. We take it more seriously now because we’re all competitive. I use video games as more than just a hobby. It’s my method of relaxation, how I procrastinate, how I spend my free time, my addiction, and much more. I could spend all day playing video games, listening to music at the same time and eating. It’s exactly how I spent this past summer which was fun. Oh and growing up it was always Playstation.

(I play zombies just as much as multiplayer, but more often play zombies. I recently made a PSN after years of using my brothers account. I’m about to prestige after finally playing multiplayer and I’m so excited – even though everyone went all PS4, we need more PS4 games before I stop switch to the PS3.)

The song imagine tells of a world where there’s no conflict which is how I would like to see the world. Nowadays, there are so many problems within the world and I find myself thinking how much better the world would be without all of these problems. This leads to the next song which goes on to say that I can’t change anything. There’s a lot of corruption in this world and just being an ordinary girl isn’t going to make a difference, but if I did have the power, I would make changes for the better. Until then, I’ll be waiting for change. Live your life is a song that talks about ignoring the haters. If I were to focus on every little thing that somebody doesn’t like or approve of, I’d basically be living a life for somebody else. I choose to live my life without worrying about what others think. Forever young is something I would like to be, but sadly we cannot stay young forever. Life is short and we should live in the moment. I listen to this song and it reminds me that while I’m young, I should live my life because I’ll never know what my future holds, or could hold unless I experience it. The next song, unwritten, connects with the thought of living my life. My book is unwritten being so young and I have every intent of living my life to the fullest and writing my own future. Sometimes it’s better to “release your inhibitions.” Nobody else is going to live for me and my book is about me, so it’s time to start writing the unwritten. The next song, billionaire, is actually a goal that I’ve had for a while. A lot of people are striving for this and I want to be one of those who are able to say that they made it to the top. Even if it may not be billions, I would like to make enough to share it with those I love. Not afraid is a truly inspirational song to me. “I’m not afraid to take a stand, everybody come take my hand.” This song makes me realize that I need to face my fears, but it doesn’t have to be alone. Everybody has a fear and we can conquer them together. I’m raising my bar and setting expectations high because I’m shooting for the moon, but gazing at the stars because it’ll catch me if I don’t make it to the moon. When I’m feeling down, I listen to magic and because of the upbeat tune, I feel like somewhere inside of me there is magic. I gotta feeling describes how I feel at the end of the day. I’m focused on making myself happy and that’s what matters. At the end of day I would like to be remembered in a positive way. Being acknowledged is a great feeling to me and it’s one of the rewards of hard work.
