Soundtrack of your life...

I know I post a lot of music; both current and old and I don't think I have ever explained how important it is to me and why I am so passionate about it.

I grew up in a household where it was gospel music and oldies.... that's it. Then my cousin and uncle came to live with us when I was about 7/8 and I was introduced to Brandy, R. Kelly, Crucial Conflict, Bone Thugs, Tupac, Biggie, Monica, and etc. I was like a kid in a a candy store. Like I couldn't believe people talked about other stuff that than just spirituality. Through my big cousin I discovered the radio and how to record songs on tapes; from that moment I was on.

I was the kid that would sit in my room and listen to music ALL day. I wasn't a fan of going outside lol. I would go outside enough just to show my face. My friends always knew I was inside listening to music and reading books. Music to me was an escape.

In middle school, I didn't know how to deal with emotions, so I would always make playlist and mix cds with titles like "for lonely nights", "I just wanna dance"and etc. I had a song for everything.

My passion for music ALWAYS outweighed the trends of what was mainstream and whatnot. I will never forget my dad walked in my room when I was in high school and I was studying and blasting my simple plan, all american reject, and plain white tees playlist and his face was priceless. He said, "Kendra, listens to some weird stuff". All I could do was laugh.

Music has always been the soundtrack of my life.
I can remember some of the most important times of my life in conjunction with different songs.
Me and music have an intimate relationship that I don't think is still adequately explained, but I hope you enjoy my blog!
