So, if you couldn’t already tell, this is about music. I know… how basic, but bear with me. In my life, I have never settled anywhere, not in a country, state, house, apartment, school, etc. I was always moving, but the only thing that has stayed with me was music. Music was always with me when I had to move across the world multiple times. Getting used to change was bound to happen, but that did not make it easy for me. At first, change was always fascinating as a kid, but as it started happening more often, a lot of the fascination faded, and I started losing interest in even bothering to adapt to my new environments and would be resistant or non-accepting of any minor changes in my life. Until one day, my mother gave me a pair of headphones for my birthday somewhere between 2015- 2016. The change never happened immediately, but it became a natural reflex for me whenever I felt like the world was about to end when my family had to move. I’d always plug in my headphones and start vibing, and then I’d realize that whatever change I had was not really that big of a deal anymore.

As I started developing a louder personality, it obviously started to annoy some people, which sometimes had an effect on me, and I would end up being quiet again sometimes. This started to happen between 8th grade and 9th grade. One day, when I was listening to this song (it’s obviously a Taylor Swift song, look at my username…), this song personally changed my perspective. It made me think that there will always be judgment, and as long as I’m not causing harm to anyone in what I do, then I don’t care what people think. So, if you think about it, if it weren’t for music, I wouldn’t be where I am now.
