Expressive Me: Who Are You?



"Welcome to our first Expressive Me Prompt. I hope that these weekly prompts will give you a creative outlet, grow a closer bond with others, and give you a chance to explore who you are and how you feel... but more importantly, how you express that feeling."


So as I sit here deciding what to write about this week's prompt, I am trying to figure out just what makes me who I am. Is it because I'm a student? A lover of music? A good listener? Well, here's a graphic I put together to help me explain myself. Don't laugh, as I know it's a jumble of a bunch of things, but it will hopefully all make sense when I'm finished. (then you have my permission to laugh! )

As you can see, there is music...EVERYWHERE! And not all of it neat, or pretty, or even in any sensible logical organized way either. This is the same in my life. Music has always and WILL always be a HUGE part of my life. It's not always pretty, or organized, but it will always be a part of "Who I Am". I love music of all kinds, of all flavors, countries, tone colors, varieties, tempos, genres, and forms. I am fascinated by theory, harmony, rhythm, and texture.

"I'm a music major, I have no life!" The understatement of the YEAR! Although I really don't have much of a life beyond learning new music, studying counterpoint composition, attending required concerts (or Convo/convocation, as our school calls them), practicing until I'm hoarse, or goofing around in the veg pit with other music students, I LOVE it. I wouldn't give it up for the world. I might complain about not having any time, but in reality, I am choosing to study music because it is my one passion that won't let me down unless *I* don't give it my all.

Yeah, you've probably noticed that Josh is on there too...well although I've never met the guy, and I wouldn't particularly say he's a HUGE part of my life in general, his music has helped me a number of times. Not just from a musical standpoint either, but emotionally and mentally as well. When I'm having a bad day, I just put on some Josh, and my worries drift away. It's amazing! Also, I've met a LOT of good friends through this dude...his fans are amazing, compassionate, and giving...a lovely group of people!

Anyway, that is me...the music student who doesn't have enough time for much except MUSIC (oh, and occasionally a silly chat with my sisters!).
