music has shaped my life in so many ways that i can't even begin to dissect each.
it's the sense of escapism one can acquire through music that keeps me tied to it so closely. it's such an integral part of my being, and has always been a constant. i'm learning to let go of the 'label' when it comes to artists, and simply just enjoy the music itself. that has done wonders for me. discovering new artists is such a novel experience, and it's something i try to do as often as i can, in order to expand my palette.
