music as literature

Music is literature. Music is creative and imaginative writing with artistic value. Music has a story behind it like all pieces of literature. Novels, poems, raps, songs, operas, and symphonies are all forms of literature. The only thing that sets them apart  is the way they're presented. Some have rhythm, some have a beat, some rhyme, some just tell a long story, and some have a funky beat in the background.

hello 2017!

Since January 2106, I think I've become a lot more optimistic. Sure, there were some bumpy times but I think I handled things pretty well. I've become more understanding and less judgmental. I've also been more interested and looking forward to my future. I've been looking into universities and careers and making an effort to try and explore my options. I plan to do a lot more of it this year & i hope 2017 goes amazing!
