The Lighthouse and the Whaler - I Want To Feel Alive

I'm Ylana Sofia Coronado, or Ylana for short. Media has been all around me since the start, and I'd love to share the ones that I enjoy with you. Starting from the beginning, with a music playlist of my journey :))

# data[].attributes.body
My first important introduction to media that I remember was animation. From Disney movies to Cartoon Network shows, the funny and bright characters always made me smile. They felt so human. You could feel the people behind them, sharing their own experiences and ideas through it.

Ever since then, I loved drawing. I would sketch anything that came up in my head. My childhood friend and I would share a single notebook during recess, and create comic strips of our characters together: dragons, ponies, and humans alike! It carved memories that made me love storytelling and art as a whole, and I still enjoy watching them to this day.

The song of this entry is one of them! Carole and Tuesday was one of my first anime, and I couldn't get this scene out of my head. I love how they slowly form a great song just out of something so mundane. It made me appreciate the little things we do.

Another kind of media I grew to love was playing games: especially RPGs! They aren't just addictive at times, but they also helped me relax and have fun with friends.

Some days, when I would be too shy to talk to people: it helped break the ice. Working with and against one another gave moments with them that'd I might've never had without it. I remember staying up countless nights playing roblox in groups.

The song reminds me of exactly that: to simply enjoy and dance with the present.

The last but not the least, and arguably the most important, is music! Although I’m not that great, it’s amazing to listen to—and a blast to sing with friends. I fell in love with it. I listen to songs a lot on the go: studying, sleeping, eating..

I've played around and dabbled with music over the years. From instruments: starting with my interest in the violin, to the

piano, then to the guitar—alongside lyric writing and singing. I'm not at the level I want to be at yet, but I hope that someday I'd be able to perform with and for my loved ones; sharing something that helped me since the beginning.

This song completely shares the way I feel, it makes you want to feel the beat and go with the flow of the rhythm. It’s a part of everyday life. When most things seemed to break down, it helped me pick up the remaining pieces and dream again.

It's controversial to use, but I have to admit that social media has taken a large part of my time everyday. I don't post much, but I look at those of others a lot—to the point where I feel the urge to scroll, even beyond my free time.

Besides good friends and family, there are a good amount of content creators I follow; from let's plays, to commentaries on niche topics, to song covers and more. I remember spending hours at one point just scrolling on Tiktok watching short skits over similar jokes.

This song reminds me of those spaces: very catchy, a little worrying, and oh so real about the future. Despite the issues it has, there are really creative people there that share their passions and ideas to the rest of the world. It makes me believe in my own skills and drives me to do better than I did before.

Words have a certain power over us, no one can deny that—and I admire the writers that use them to their full advantage. You get sent to all new worlds through their stories. Every character, moment, and place you get to know is fueled with life, and you could breathe in so much history and thought in place.

When I was younger, I loved the Geronimo and Thea Stilton books. They were lighthearted and colorful stories that would peak my interest and curiosity, as well as adding in oh so many puns, it was great. My tastes changed over time, but I have a soft spot for it.

This song feels a lot like how I feel, how I would read books late at night just to know what comes next, how I feel when I get invested. It sucks you in. You feel yourself going deeper and deeper until your at the very end.

These media are important to me because, in a sense, they have shaped who I am. They are representations of my interests, values and personality. I wouldn’t be the same person if I didn’t know about them, and I wouldn’t have achieved or experienced the things I had.

Yes, there are moments where I consume more than reflect on the content I consume from media—which leads me to act emotionally and agree with information without thought at times—but when I do pay attention, I realize how its another human being behind them. It reminds me that I’m not the only one here, and that the world is bigger than it seems to be. It’s easy to think of the world as a place you already understand and are continuing to explore, but it’s not simply like that. Its bigger that our surroundings, and we simply live alongside it rather than the center of it. Media is indirectly communication.

As long as I don’t let it consume me, it connects myself with millions of people around the world with different perspectives, cultures, and ideas that I might’ve never knew without it. It helps me improve as a person and be more tolerant to new knowledge and others’ differences. We learn, we aspire, then we grow as people.
