NP: One Direction, Rock Me

(Don't judge me by that song above.^  They totally remind me of my NSync loving days.  Not to mention my favorite band is Hanson.  Another boy band.  I have an obsession!  I'm a teenage girl, what can I say?)

I'd say music defines a lot of me.  Like I posted earlier on the blog, it has the power to have a strong influence on my mood, help me get through good and bad times and empower my choices.  For instance, if I'm listening to She & Him, I'm going to be dressed like a Hipster.  If I'm listening to Green Day, I'm going to be in black combat boots or converse sporting a band t-shirt.  If Taylor swift is on, you can find me in a dress and heels with my makeup done up.  Or if it's Miranda Lambert, you bet i'll be in cowgirl boots.  Some people might define this as an identity crisis.  I call it doing what I want and being who I am.  I'm not denying those horrid days in middle school and high school that consisted of seriously awkward outfits, hair styles and personality changes.  In fact, I still struggle with figuring out who I want to be on the outside.  But on the inside, I know exactly who I am.  In Christ and in myself and that's never going to change.  I don't want to be batman and hide behind a mask and live a double life.  I want to be me and whoever or whatever that is, i'm going to sport it like nothing else.  So figure it out with me. In middle school I was Avril Lavigne.  My freshman year I was Bella Swan.  My sophomore year I was Gretchen Wilson.  Last year I was Colbie Caillat.  This year I was Troian Bellisario.  From now, I'm going to be the one that fits me best; myself.  And I don't care what you think.
