Keep Calm, Listen To Music, and Love Powerade


Have you ever thought of the world coming to an end ? Of course you did. It’s 2013. We survived the end like a boss. Will your money save you ? Will it keep you sane ? Or will the only thing you have left be your precious moments and memories. Yeah I get it, iPhones are useful but when it’s the end, it is virtually worthless. Would your phone apps tell you how to survive ? Maybe. But that’s not the point.


Keep calm, everything is going to work out. I’m in my room right now, worrying about how I am going to finish this essay. It’s 11:45 pm and honestly I barely even started. Fun. Anyway, music is my passion. As I sit here, writing this paper I am listening to music. Feeling the bass hit me. I take a deep breath, feeling the music, the bass, listening to every word as it sends a strong vibe. I value those meanings. I feel my music is priceless. Each song brings back a different memory. Each memory...Priceless.

In the summer I like to kick back and relax. I also like to go out, but who doesn't ? With the sun constantly at your back you tend to get dehydrated easier, especially during sports. I personally like...well love...to drink powerade. I only drink the blue one though, blue is my favorite color. Depending on my mood depends on how many I drink. On a daily basis, I drink four to five. I know its a lot but I can’t help it ! Usually powerade is no more than two dollars but with this economy, you never know. I think powerade is the best. Not only is it healthy but it’s delicious, cheap and keeps you hydrated...And me happy.

Both powerade and music are very important to me. They both keep me happy and going about my day. Each of these have meaning to my life, each a different meaning, but amazing just the same. Powerade and music are a must have. Other girls want 80 dollar pants and hundreds of dollars worth of crap they don’t really need. All I want is to remember memories through songs and a simple powerade. some similarities include the way each of them make me feel, Powerade and music give me a rush. Powerade, when it gets in my reach, make me instantly happy. Same with music. With every word of a song comes back a specific memory, all in the matter of seconds with one word.

As much as powerade and music are are alike, they are also very different. I’ll tell you why. As you may already know...Or don’t know...Powerade is a liquid drink, and in my opinion, tastes amazing. On the other hand, music is a load of awesome in the form of a song. I value both but each has a different meaning to my life. Powerade is bought in many different flavors, unless you're messed up like me, and and buy one of each, mix them together, and create a new flavor.. I do this with my friend, Jess. Makes no sense, right ? Well to me it makes perfect sense. Music, on the other hand...Right one to be exact... Is my passion. Every word has meaning, whereas in powerade, every drop may not. As you can see, they’re both valued very differently. For example, in screamo songs, I feel they don’t screamo to annoy you. I think they do it so you actually pay close attention to what the blur coming from their mouths actually mean. Or, with every powerade there may be a story behind it. I value music the way I do because with every song, there's a different emotional connection. Yes, I know, I picked to items that are virtually impossible to express my love for...So, bare with me. I value powerade as if it is an everyday thing that everyone has heard, and is familiar about. Powerade can really only be priced for me because it is disappointing when I run out, and there's nothing like a priced item that you have to keep spending money on. But, I do anyway. Music, though, I value like it’s the last thing that I have left. If the world came to an end, which it hadn't...yet...because if it did, I wouldn't be writing this paper now. As you should now know, not everything has the same value. It’s those precious moments and memories that say whether or not that item has value. Not that tiny price tag that triples the amount you wanted to spend.
 
Finally, in conclusion, powerade and music mean alot to me. All I want is to kick back, pop open a powerade and listen to music, embracing  each memory in each word. I want to get those impulses sent through my body in every ounce of bass. I want to taste that liquid satisfaction. Value cannot be described by anyone but yourself. People might know what you've been through but they do not know how you felt during that time. Like stated in the Black Veil Brides song “In The End”....”Who will tell the story of your life and who will remember, your last goodbye ? “... No one.. only you can because you were there and felt everything. You are the one who priced that moment. Value is what you make it. That’s how I value my life’s priced and priceless moments. How do you ?
