Music has always been something that I have loved. I love to listen to it, to sing along with it (even though I can't sing at all), and my favorite thing to do is to drive/ride around with the windows down listening to music. Driving is one of the most therapeutic things for me. It is what I do whenever I am sad, mad, stressed, or bothered by something in my life. Driving, combined with good songs that make you think, is the recipe to helping me deal with things going on in my life. At home there were certain roads that I would drive on and a certain route I would take that would be just long enough for me to feel better... one of the hardest things about being at college for me is to not have that comfort anymore. I can still go driving because I have my car here, but its not the same because I don't usually pass people I know, or drive by places where I have wonderful memories, or know the best places to go driving. I don't mind going on long car trips by myself, or driving anywhere by myself, in fact it is pretty much the only place that I like to be alone. Whenever I am not in my car concentrating on a song or a problem, I love to be with people and have to. I don't really like to be alone I like company and am always sitting in my friends’ rooms or having them over. Overall, I think that when dealing with problems in one's lives, they have to develop their own type of "therapeutic thing," everyone has something they do when they aren't feeling their best or when they are stressed... shopping, talking, eating, driving, thinking, blogging...
