What would your life be like without music? Short answer: dull, boring, and sad.
I think I’ve already covered this, but I can’t resist sharing my absolute love for music. If my life didn’t have music, I’d probably have to invent it just to stay sane.
I honestly can’t imagine it. Music has been such a constant in my world for as long as I can remember. It’s not just background noise. It’s connection, it’s memory, it’s emotion, it’s expression. Without it, the silence would feel too heavy, too flat, too much.
So many of my memories are tied to songs. Little bookmarks in time. If music didn’t exist, I think I’d feel like my life was missing its anchor points. How would I know where I’ve been, or even who I’ve been, without the soundtrack that carried me through?
Music is the way I say what I can’t always put into words. It’s how I show someone I care, or that I’m hurting, or that I understand them. Without it, I think I’d feel cut off, like a whole part of how I connect with people was missing.
And then there’s the healing part. Sad songs when I’m sad, loud ones when I need strength, quiet ones when I want peace. Without music, I don’t know what I’d turn to when I needed to feel less alone.
I guess I’d still survive without it, but I’m not sure I’d ever feel quite whole.
