Status Quo

I was your average music enjoyer, listening to it casually as much as the next guy. I just listened to what my parents played and never got it when people emphasized the effect music had on their lives. This is my Status Quo because it was before I was really enthusiastic about music.

The Call

Late into my 8th grade year, I met one of my now best friends, Camryn. She's the epitome of a 60s girl, deeply invested in the culture and more importantly, The Beatles. This was my calling because it really started my musical journey.

Assistance

Hanging out with her so often eventually began to rub off on me. Her interests heavily influenced mine, giving us something to bond over. She was my assistance because she helped me start to find music that I liked.

Departure

I was hooked, quickly growing obsessed with The Beatles. Not only did I listen to their music all the time, I fully immersed myself, learning their entire history. This was my departure because it was when I really started to invest myself in music.

Trials

Eventually, I wanted to find my music taste. I began to explore various genres, struggling to pick just one. These were my trials because it took lots of experimenting to find what felt best.

Approach

Somehow, I discovered Green Day. From there, I got into alternative rock. This was my approach because it leads to how my feelings change later on.

Crisis

A wave of guilt began to wash over me. I felt bad for straying away from classic rock and what my friends liked. This was my crisis because I struggled with change.

Treasure

I finally realized that I didn't have to pick just one genre. I could listen to whatever I wanted to, regardless of its style. This was my treasure because I was able to expand to a wider variety of music.

Result

Nothing has changed in regards to my love for music. However, I have grown from what I believed to be my crisis. This was my result because it is how I now feel.

Return

Sometimes, I still struggle with that feeling of guilt. Unfortunately, that's just part of the journey. This was my return because I've come a long way, while still being haunted by the past.

New Life

Music now inspires everything that I do. It gives me the motivation I need to get things done, such as this assignment. This is my New Life because I found something that will be with me forever, something special.

Resolution

Finally, I understand the true meaning of music and why it was created. Not just that, but also its impact on the world for people like me. This was my resolution because my musical journey came full circle.
