This is probably one the only albums I have ever fallen in love with entirely, and probably the first ever in its first week of sales. @dreamcarmusic did not disappoint! #DREAMCAR #KillForCandy #OnTheCharts #AfterIConfessed #EverLonely #DoNothing #ShowMeMercy #music #love #DaveyHavok #NoDoubt (at Fulton County, Pennsylvania)

Sorry for boring you kids, but I find it amazing how music and art can literally aid in expanding one's psyche. It allows for beauty to flow through you entirely. Now, the point is, find quality ARTISTS, not halfwit, generic, puppet pop stars that may produce catchy and sometimes meaningful music, but in the grand scheme of things, won't amount to much. It's not about a pretty face or just releasing music, its about releasing, and sometimes exposing, a part of your soul, and these mainstream stars just seem so fake and unpalatable to me. True art isn't something you find everyday, it's something that is found with time, with a little bit of patience and a whole lot of emotion. (Don't get me started on visual or performing artists...)

You know, it blows my mind that it's been so many years since I got my first real album. It was @pink's second album, Missundaztood. I'm Not Dead (Platinum Edition) was bought literally at the same time, so the two are fairly interchangeable. It was probably 2007 and I had just turned 10. Soon after, "Can't Take Me Home" was purchased and I never looked back. I was hooked on Miss Alicia Moore's beautiful Contralto vocal range. I fell in love with Beyoncé shortly after, soon discovering Etta James because of the movie, Cadillac Records. Then high school hit, I changed it up by leaning toward the defiant, triumphant sounds or the melancholy power of rock music, mostly new wave and more radio friendly sounds. Then I discovered electrónica, dark wave, and melodic EDM. @blaqkaudio really became a defining sound for me. The dance-y and androgynous flares of Culture Club paired with the dark and intricate lyrics of The Cure moved me in such a way that I then became awed by @afireinside, which is now my favorite band. The cacophony of sounds that would drill themselves into my eardrums really moved me to keep exploring and expanding. I found @theohurts of Hurts, which lended beautifully crafted synth pop sounds with artful lyrics. Switching gears, I returned back to pop with Jessie J and then back to pop-rock with Daughtry. Then moving on to more singer-songwriter sounds with Emeli Sandé and her truly artful sound, I found beauty in poetry. Then I discovered the Industrial sounds within music, the intricate layerings and the roughness within truly emotive songs. I feel like I've come to a high point within this musical renaissance, by diving head first into the depths that is @prince's discography. The funky sounds paired with interesting lyrics, relatable contexts and beautiful, yet elaborate emotions have really spoken volumes. (Before I forget, I'd like to mention that within this entire period I had discovered Tamar and Toni Braxton, CHER, The Cure, KELLY ROWLAND, Enrique Iglesias, Billy Idol, Seeming, Neon Hitch, DEPECHE MODE, MUSE, Linkin Park, Breaking Benjamin, Stone Sour and so many more.)

When you're weird and you eat tomato soup for breakfast... also I like it clumpy, so I load it with saltines. #Breakfast #Tomato #Soup #Clump #Weird #food #sorrynotsorry (at Set In Stone Photography)

From being this close to @daveyhavok and @jadepuget at a @blaqkaudio concert To a family outing to a Beyoncé concert, to my summer in England and my trip to Paris to hanging with Brit, Andrew, Kelly and Marley with this pupper, rush events with Pi Lambda Phi, Seinfeld the cat, baby goats and to making matching lighters with @bri_wawro. These times among many others have really made my life amazing. I love all of my friends and I'm grateful for all of my family. #Love #Friends #2016 #YearInReview #Optimism #SorryNotSorry #EvenIfIDidntMentionYouILoveYou

Mother's response is perfect. Fox's Star is exceptional and it's fair to say that I'm super addicted. I can't even. #Star #IBringMe #BigTrouble #Text (at Fulton County, Pennsylvania)
