This week, I've decided to do an "organized stream of consciousness" type of writing. Enjoy:

I find it interesting the way emotions work. One minute you can be angry, and soon enough you can find yourself in your own happy place, unique to you and you only, somewhere far, far away. What I want to know is what takes you there? How can you go from being in the angriest mood one second and suddenly the next, BAM, you’re relaxed? I can make myself very angry for a certain event, but that’s when I find it hard to hold onto my anger. I feel like that’s when we drift more easily into a more calm and relaxed mood. Likewise, the more I try to be happy and calm the angrier and irked I get at even the smallest agitations.

Something else I find interesting is music. It moves you. Literally? Maybe, but most definitely emotionally. Listen to a soft love song and follow it up with a fiery rock song. Your mind shifts with the sounds of the melodies, changing from a completely relaxed mindset to one that seems to scream, “Get away from me before I kill you.” Follow that up with one of those techno European hits and you will surely find yourself dancing the night away, without a care in the world.

I’ve kind of come to the conclusion that you subconsciously choose a song to fit your mood of specifically that time. Ever say to yourself as a new song comes on, “I’m not really in the mood for this”? Sure you have, just as everyone else has. Have you ever asked yourself why? I believe the answer’s simple. Somebody who’s getting ready to compete in a sporting event isn’t going to find themselves listening to Luther Vandros. Likewise, you most definitely will not walk into a nursing home and find the elderly rocking out to Disturbed, besides someone’s totally awesome grandpop who wears his hair in a mohawk.

When I write, I enjoy listening to Linkin Park specifically. My writings are a bit on the depressing side most times, and their music happens to fit that style perfectly. Not necessarily their beats and instrumentals, but mostly their lyrics. If they aren’t able to get the job done, Drake normally does the trick. And by Drake I mean the album Drake, not the Drake you hear on the radio talking about money, cars, and clothes like the rest of the rapper wanna-be’s. The Drake I like to listen to raps about the tough times in life involving emotions and relationships. Corny, I know, but hey it’s my opinion.
