Some thoughts: I am going to share a secret or two on this blog post that I have been keeping to myself and those individuals closest to me for years: I battle with anxiety and depression. Now you may be thinking that this is more common than one would think, so why keep it a […]
PAS4: Twenty Øne Piløts
Some thoughts: Have you ever heard a song that entranced you for days on end? So much so that you listened to it every time you got in the car. You watched the music video every time you thought of the song. Have you ever heard an album that entranced you for weeks on […]
PAS3: Panic! at the Disco
Some thoughts: Many of the bands that I listen to stem from already familiar bands, and I believe that this has broadened my horizons when exploring different genres of music.
