My Style

To be 100% honest, I've never liked writing. Perhaps it's a lack of patience. I always aim to make others laugh through physical comedy or unexpected words and/or actions, but there's another side of me; the quiet, deeply hidden person of the heart who only comes out when I'm completely alone. It's when I'm walking in the forest alone, or driving somewhere with just me and my Saviour to enjoy a serene time together. That's the side of me that I would like to represent through this blog. The blog that no one will read. For now at least.

When sitting in the forest, or sitting alone on campus, I feel as though I could and would sit there for hours. I can find beauty and entertainment in looking at the simplest of things, and rarely ever find myself "bored." I thank my Creator for this gift. The serenity of the flowing waters of a creek, or the wind blowing the leaves on trees will be an image I can savor for eternity, and while it's right there in front of me, I just love to soak it in.

The other gift that I am thankful for daily is the gift of music. I feel as though my brain were an MP3 player, or an iPod. I can turn on whatever song I would like to listen to or think about whenever I please. I hear every intricate detail, every note, every refrain. Not just vocals to music, but instruments as well. I can mimic almost every noise I hear, including voices and melodies to perfection. I also create harmonies, weaving in and out of music as if it were a dance within my mind. A dance that gives me immense pleasure to execute. Sometimes I find that my mental music box is set on shuffle, and I find myself listening to completely unrelated songs to what I started with. It's a very difficult thing to put into words, but at the same time it's delightful to me in an indescribable way.

Music and God are the things I am most passionate about. The only two things in my entire universe- my entire life that can give me chills, and my beautiful passion for music was a gift from God. That is the reason that using music to honor, glorify, and praise Him is the most precious thing to me in the whole world.
To sit and watch His creations in my backyard while glorifying songs dance through my head is such an awe-inspiring way to spend my time. I truly cannot think of anything that compares.

And that is me. Well, the less-known half of me. The part of me reserved for special occasions, and the part that I feel that I cannot share with others, lest it lose its peace and somberness.
