Music is what feelings sound like

Music is the most amazing thing ever. There is always a song to fit each different mood, or help you express a feeling, or to help you cheer up. In the past 24 hours I have gone through pretty much every emotion...typical girl right? But music has definitely helped me through it. 
It all started with John Mayer's Slow Dancing in a Burning Room. Everyone has probably felt like this at some point. Just sitting there, trying to act like nothing is wrong... while in reality it feels like the world is crumbling or "burning" around you. It's hard! Some things change and you can't help it no matter how hard you try. But change can be good. I always believed "if it's not broken, don't fix it" but that isn't true. Sometimes you have to break something in order to make it better. Why use something that only kind of works if you can fix it and make it even better? Feeling like your world is burning and you have no control sucks. But luckily these feelings typically only last a little while and then you can be reborn out of the ashes just like a Phoenix. yes that is definitely a Harry Potter reference. 
Then came along Lady A with Need You Now. This song gets to me. Because everyone knows what it's like to miss someone. Whether it is an ex or not, there is always a time when you really miss a certain person. I heard this in the car on the way to work and it tugged at my heart strings. Missing someone is the worst. Because a lot of the time there isn't anything you can do about it at the exact moment that you start to miss them. You have to just sit and wait until the time finally comes when you can see each other. And I know this song is about being drunk and missing an ex, but the concept still applies to most people. 
And the low point. What do you want by Jerrod Neimann. This song is about an ex as well, but if you take out that whole aspect of it, anyone can relate to it. Sometimes it's easy to get frazzled and overwhelmed and all you want to do is say, "WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?!" It doesn't matter who it's to. Whether it's to the world, parents, a boyfriend, boss, teacher, coach, or even just a stranger who pushes your buttons. If I'm at the end of my rope, these are typically the last words said before I have pretty much given up. This phrase is vulnerable and exasperated and usually happens when you really just need an answer about what to do. Emotional rock bottom is the hardest place to be because it feels like you have no control over anything...but from there the only place to go is up. 
Now the best song of them all. John Hiatt - Have a little faith in me. This song is amazing. If you haven't heard it. GO LISTEN NOW!!(It's in my little play list thing!)  This song could be about God or about a boyfriend. Either way you look at it, it is amazing. Because of my situation currently I'm going to go with both of these options because I have to have faith in God and faith in my relationship. My favorite line is "You see time, time is our friend cause for us there is no end. And all you gotta do, is have a little faith in me." Love is eternal. There isn't an end, so we just have to have faith that everything is going to work out how it is supposed to. But every action in life is based off of fear or love. Love is the driving force in my life. Maybe that's a cheesy girl thing to say but it is. Having faith in love and those around you who truly love and care about you is all a person can do. We need those people in our lives to lift us up when we do hit rock bottom. So have a little faith...in God, in love, in a person, or simply in yourself.
