The rut that I am absolutely sure that I cannot give up and live without is music. I am highly addicted to my music and everything that comes with it. Music is everything to me. Music gives me the courage to feel free and not worry about anything else around me. Music controls whether or not I am happy, sad, mad or just don’t care for the day. The first thing I do when I wake up in the morning is listen to music. There’s not a day that goes by that I do not listen to music, if I could I would listen to music 24/7. Music is different instruments like the drums, guitar, bass and more that makes beautiful sounds when they are played together. Music is what many people use to express their thoughts, life lesson or feelings. Music is the one thing that has been around for millions of year and will continue to be around. Music complicates my life because it prevents me from hearing the little things around me. Things like birds chirping, my little sister saying something sweet, or a pin falling to the ground. Music consumes my thoughts and leaves it lyrics engraved in my head. This can lead me to forget about the important things in life.
Trying to break the habit of listening to music would be difficult and absolute torture to me because I’m giving up my personal therapist. I would not know what to do with life anymore. Just thinking about waking up and lying in bed with no music in my ears brings tears to my eyes. Giving up Beyoncé, Fergie, Ciara and many more artists would be the hard part because they give me hope for a new day. Giving up music would be hard because I would no longer have the one thing that separates me from the world. Without music, I would not have anyone to understand the way I am feeling and help me get through it at the same time.
My Walden Plan will mold me to become the person I want to be by helping me be aware of the things around me. Giving up music for some times would actually be good for me because it will push me to find other solution to my problem. It will also encourage me to handle my situation like a young lady should. This experiment will help me achieve my goals by saving me from being trapped in my own world and bring me back to reality.Like Emerson said “Nothing can bring you peace but yourself'”. (Emerson 3 ) Which means that the only way I can find myslef is by disconnecting myself way from music and focuse on taking care of me. Taking a break from music will inspire me to spend more time with my family and my friends. With the time I spend without listening to music I would take the time to catch up on my sleep and spend time thinking about life. I would take the time to do other things like read a book, take nature walks and make things in nature my music. What I hope to gain through this experiment is to become my own therapist and not rely on the advice of musician that are doing this for money.
“Nothing can bring you peace but yourself. This is a simply sentence because it is an independent claue. Which means that it can stand on its own and does not need an extra word to make it flow.
Subject: you, Predicate: peace but yourself, verb: bring
