Mental health is such an important part of our lives.
Regarding mental health, one can have some serious trauma that sinks into the bloodstream and into the mind in a sneaky, sinister way. It affects our friendships, relationships, careers, and passion.
Through the foggy clouded midst of it all, music is always there to be your guide through with strength and exhaustion.
Growing up as a musician, you are told that you are more sensitive than other human specimens in the jungle we call various societies. It is in that mentality, where maybe musicians feel accustomed to that narrative.
Through the multiple walks of artistic life, that stereotype seems to follows them wherever they go. Are musicians in fact, more emotional than other?
Through my personal understanding artistic and creative individuals feel emotions much more intensely, and music for some, is the proper outlet to release it.
Musicians almost have a moral duty or inclination to express their emotional freedom through creative outlets that summon the artistic gods and relinquish the day for a better tomorrow.
Music is such a special part of an individual’s rapidly changing life.
