Journal Entry 55: The Inspiration of Sound

            Sounds and music plays the most important part of my life. Whenever I am sad, I listen to music to make me happier. When I don't have confidence, I listen to music to make me feel better. When I am too energetic, I listen to music to calm me down. And whenever I can't sleep, I listen to music to make me fall asleep. Basically, music is everything in my life. I listen it during car rides, when I am walking, when I am doing my homework, even when I am in class or taking a test. And also, sounds also inspire me. I move with the beats or hum with the tune when I hear sounds. If we don't have any sounds in life, our lives will be very miserable. I hear sounds every second in my life. In the morning I listen to the sound my mom wakes me up me, I listen to the sound of her making our breakfast and lunch in the kitchen, and I listen to my music to cheer myself up. And then in school I hear sounds of closing lockers, sounds of footsteps and also sounds of noisy friends. And right now I am listening to the sound that my keyboard makes when I type things down in my computer. I would classify sounds into, the ones we purposely listen to and the normal life sounds that we like, or the normal sound that we don't like. Sounds like music or beats or sounds that make you think of something good is pleasant. And the sounds like teachers yelling at you or screeching tables and chairs are very painful. Some sounds make you feel happy because of the picture you see in your mind when you listen to the sound. For example, when I listen to the sound my mother makes while she is cooking makes me picture delicious food, so it is a pleasant sound. Or the sound made my the birds make you picture their cute appearances, that is pleasant too. Some sounds are more pleasant because of the images they give us.
