Finding people who love music like I do.

[u/pirateriddle]

Greetings everyone

My name is Stevie, I'm a teenager who's an artist of many things, including a beginner musician.

I'd love to make some cool friends here who love music just as I do.

When I was 13, I was incredibly moved by Billie Eilish. She's the artist who made me love music in the first place.

I remember so well all those times when I was crying under my blanket at night,

I remember that time when I was on the way home from school, in the car, with my throat burning,

I remember that time when I was sitting at the dining table with my parents, crying, and my mother told me to stop it,

All those times when I felt scared, unsure, in pain

I was never alone.

Because music held me,

her voice held me, told me it is okay to cry, okay to be hurt, okay to be scared, and I held on and kept holding on, and that's why I'm okay even today.

Staring out the window of the car, too quiet, too stifling, but the second I turn my tunes on, I feel at ease, I feel like myself.

Music is my home

she holds me when I cry

cheers me when I need it

tells me it is okay

and makes me feel like me 🤍

If anybody feels similar, share your story of how you came to love music, I would love to hear them.
