A world without music? I don't want to know it.
Two days ago, something happened that left me completely broken. I was overwhelmed — not just mentally, but emotionally and physically. You know that kind of sadness that sinks into your bones, that doesn’t ask for permission before it floods your soul? That was me. I cried. Not the quiet, graceful kind. No. I wept — the kind of tears that carry pain, confusion, and silent prayers.
But then, somewhere in the middle of all that emotional chaos, I reached for my earpuds. I didn't plan to. I just… did. I tapped on a song. I don’t even remember which one it was. But as it began to play, I felt something. Something shift. The world didn’t suddenly become perfect — far from it — but the sharpness of my pain began to dull.
It was gradual. Soft. Healing. Almost like someone reached into the room, into my chest, and whispered, “You’re not alone.” Life… slowly… started returning to me. My breath became steady. My thoughts less frantic. And before I knew it, I smiled. Not because everything was okay, but because I realized I was going to be okay.
And that’s when it struck me:
What would we ever do without music?
Have you ever truly imagined a world without music? Not just the absence of sound, but the absence of soul? No rhythm to walk to. No melodies to cry with. No harmonies to hold us when no one else does. A world without music would be like a body without a heartbeat — technically alive, but painfully empty.
To me, music is that comic relief in a tragic film — that one character who walks into the room just when everything is falling apart, and makes you laugh through your tears.
Music is the friend who never judges. Never leaves. Never demands. Just exists — always, quietly, and fiercely loyal.
It doesn’t matter what mood you’re in — happy, sad, angry, confused, numb. Music meets you where you are. It doesn’t try to fix you, but it sits with you, holds space for you, and somehow… helps you put the pieces back together.
Music is peace in the middle of chaos.
It is stillness in a spinning world.
It is therapy — and unlike most therapists, it doesn’t ask you to talk.
Honestly, I feel like music is underrated. We take it for granted — these sounds, these lyrics, these vibrations that literally change our mood, our day, our lives.
But not me. Not anymore.
Because two days ago, when nothing else worked… music did.
And that, for me, is everything.
