The Words

by Ashley Jade

“When I get lost in music, nothing else matters…because all the bad shit has been stripped away, and I become a brand-new canvas. One that turns me into whatever the notes, chords, and lyrics need me to be. It’s like a spell has been cast, and I’m no longer human. I’m no longer matter taking up space…I’m sheer energy. A vessel for magic I can’t even begin to explain. All I know is those sparks of magic…it’s the best feeling in the world. It’s what I live and breathe for. It’s what drives me.”

“Don’t let your insecurities overpower that which makes your soul come alive. Otherwise, you’ll walk this earth never feeling whole…and that’s no way to live.”
