Everyone is different: tastes, habits, needs, wants etc. It stands to reason that everyone does things differently and treats things differently. Music is no exception. So how do different people use music in their lives?
Some people use music for a soundtrack to their lives while others use it as background noise and I know people who don’t really even like music.
I personally use music as a soundtrack to my life. I carefully pick and queue exactly what I need to make the moment feel a specific way and make sure it fits the vibe. Sometimes I let my playlists shuffle and I get a surprise but it almost always is still part of the soundtrack style I strive for.
If I have a bomb fit on and I feel really good about myself, I’ll usually have music in my earbuds that reflects that. Same with if I’m driving to campus on a rainy autumn morning. I need the music I listen to to reflect how I feel and how I am as a person. This is what makes life rich for me.
