Why do you love music?

Music always been a passion for me ever since I was in school I fell in love with different sounds of music that alone made me learn to love it I have been working on the craft since I was 10

There is one time that I am so down that I cried all night. Then there's music, it never left me. I just listened to it and then started thinking positively. I didn't realized I am already smiling. When no one is there for me to comfort me, I will just get my earphones and then listen to music. Second by second, minute by minute, I forgot my worries and negative thoughts. Music is just a great comforter to me

Sometimes when I have many things to do, I can't focus on one thing. My mind is struggling. If I am not focused I can't do my best on that thing. So there's one time that I have many things to do. I am out of focus because I am thinking about what to do first. So I listened to music. I didn't know that I was so focused that I finished all my works on time beautifully. So everytime I have things to do. I just turn up the music and start doing it.
