An Old Friend

One of the most important things in my life has been music. Whether it be singing, listening or playing guitar. As I'm sitting here going through my CDs and deciding which songs to add to my iPod, I'm realising just how important music has been to me. Each CD is a part of me. Each song is a memory or a feeling or a mood or a form of escapism. Music takes me away from reality and lets me get absorbed in myself. I've always been an introvert. I hang on every note and every verse. I cherish moments by myself with music. Staring at my pile of over 300 CDs, I see myself.
