As you know, I posted about wanting to become a minimalist yesterday. Well, today I decided to get to it! Mostly I just put stuff where it belongs, but I made progress nonetheless! Even my dad noticed that my room was cleaner!
So, I completely forgot to mention yesterday that Friday was the Winter Ball! It is a dance that was held in my school's main gym and I'd say at least 300 people were there, but I'm no good at estimating. Especially with pasta, but that's another story. I went with a group of my friends, plus my sister! At the ball, my sister and I mostly hung out with two other friends that we met there. And we danced. I know in a previous post I wrote about the Freshmen Dance and how people weren't awkward or self-conscious and this dance was the same thing! I love that. I love what music does to people.
Music has always been an influence in my life. Something about it is just so powerful. Listening to certain types of music has gotten me through a lot of tough times in my life. Sometimes I have to change the station on the radio or skip to the next song on my iPod because a certain song will make me feel something I don't want to feel at that moment. For example, I had a Linkin Park phase for a long time. For those of you who don't know, LP is grungy, rocky, and very rebellious. I still love their music, but when I hear some of their songs now, I just feel so angst-y.
Alternatively, Long Live by Taylor Swift, which just came on my iPod, gives me so much hope and inspires me. Maybe I'm just impressionable, because it's the same way with books and movies. A book I read not too long ago, Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins, gave me a terrible, horrifying nightmare. And that's just from a book.
I have to go to bed now, as it's a school night, but I shall write again soon.
Magic.
