Music
Not a day goes by that I don't listen to music for hours a day. It's like a drug, and like with cooking and writing, I couldn't survive without it living in my ears. Anything I can do in life is better with music being involved. Oddly, I can increase my drive and want to finish a project by turning music on. I can hop in my car, crank the stereo, drive to nowhere, and turn my day around by allowing the music to serenade my soul, calming and relaxing me. Some people may be unable to focus on tasks while playing music, but I'm the opposite. I can have earbuds in, head banging to some heavy metal, screaming the lyrics to some Slipknot, or bobbing my head rapping lyrics alongside Jelly Roll, and still be focused enough to write a time-sensitive project on why new babies need soothing white noise to help with colic.
The real love I have for music, though, is undoubtedly BASS. I am talking about 150db+ bass rides converted to earth-shaking bass. The ones you can feel before you hear; I know some of you think these are obnoxious and unneeded, but I will try to explain it the best I can. Some of us can't turn our minds off, and music at that level instantly turns my inner dialogue off - I can't hear myself think. When I quit using opiates back in the day, that was one of the first goals I achieved. I used the money I would have bought my next high with and used it to buy my system. When I felt like I had no choice and was going to cave in and use, I'd go for a drive. I'd play it at full tilt, unable to hear myself think, feeling the bass reverb through my body to the bones. It became my new drug, and I have never looked back since.
Some people say something in their life has saved their lives. Music has saved me; in many ways, it has helped me past a situation where I didn't need to think about it and do it. I will forever be thankful to the people who make music; genre doesn't matter as everyone has their own likes and dislikes; the point of music is to entertain and deliver a message to the audience. Sometimes, that message is a cry of pain, begging for help, and that is the biggest reason I am so passionate about music because I use that music to absorb my emotions and let them out to the beat.
