Welcome to my blog!

I am an English major. They say practice makes perfect so here I am practicing my writing in hopes that some day I will be perfect.
This is the world according to me.
I hope you enjoy my insight as much as I enjoy writing it.

Songs form bonds? Yea, I think so.

Here is the thing about boy bands. When you like them once, you will like them always. There is something about hearing Backstreet Boys, Hanson, and NSYNC that makes everything better. I always dreamed that I would marry a member from each band one day. Of course it would never happy but it doesn't hurt to dream. Last year I went to go see Backstreet Boys and New Kids on the Block. My sister was familiar with NKOTB because she listened to them when they came out the first time. She was also familiar with BSB. We sang along on the top of our lungs. I have no shame singing along. These songs can help me get out of the worse mood. They were my first love and that is not weird. They helped me find self confidence when I needed it the most. They helped me form friendships and bonds that will never be broken. They have a spot in my heart. They fill a void that no one will ever be able to. I hope to one day find a man that can make me feel that way. I hope there is someone out there that can fill the void in my heart like my boy bands did. I will always have a weakness for boy bands. There is this band out now called One Direction. No I do not think they are cute because they are kids. I do enjoy the music though. I can understand how girls are going crazy for them. We played NSYNC for our grade schoolers one day work and they were getting into it. They did not understand why my co-worker and I were so excited but they liked the songs. They tried to sing along and ruined the songs but I just let it go. I am happy that they can appreciate that music. This means they can also appreciate a part of me that I could not explain else wise. My theory has always been simple. Sometimes the words you want to say are hard to find. Sometimes the best way to express yourself is through a song. A song can say exactly what you would want to say. For Mother's day I played "Perfect Fan" by BSB for my mother. I think she almost cried. I have a hard time expressing how I am feeling a lot of times. Mushy love freaks me out to an extent because I have been hurt so much in the past. It is not uncommon for me to play a song for someone to express how I am feeling. Music is my escape, in a sense. It helps me from having to find the words that I need. It also helps forms bonds with people. As soon as you find out someone likes the same song as you it is like you are instant friends. If they like the same artists as you they automatically become some of my favorite people. Part of this is because a lot of the songs that I like not a lot of people have heard of. If I find out someone has heard of them they are seriously my best friends. Okay so this post was kind of weird but I felt like I needed to get it out.
