Wild - Troye Sivan EP
It's Friday.
I found some stuff.
Let's go.
Friday Finds #1
Wow.
I mean, just wow.
What an amazing EP.
I have been a fan of Troye's for quite some time, but I was blown away by WILD. His first EP was, to me, mediocre. Good, but not great. Which, if you think about it, is pretty good for a first EP. The leap of improvement is just incredible. The songs on WILD are incredibly unique and beautiful. His songs are interesting and mix different sounds and genres. Not to mention, his voice has a beautiful and soft tone. As someone who strives to be in the music industry, this is incredibly inspirational. Improvement is after all the ultimate goal.
I would encourage you all to check this EP out. Not only is Troye a talented musician but also such a genuine and down to earth guy!
Happy Friday!

Music I've loved // August 2015
I have been looking forward to the end of August - just so I could write this post.
Crazy, I know.
As many of you may know, I am extremely passionate about music; and being able to share my favorite music with you has got me super excited! Each song will link you to its track on Soundcloud.
My music taste ranges from classical to EDM - so my choices are all across the board.
*The Other Woman*
Lana Del Rey
This song is so so beautiful. It has such a longing and melancholy vibe to it that just touches my soul. One of the best songs I have ever heard in my life.
*Goddess*
Chrome Sparks
This song is a great EDM track. I prefer listening to it in headphones, and I love listening to it while I'm writing. It's got a way of inspiring me to be productive.
*Mssingno - XE3 (Wheathin Turn*
*Jackal - Animal Style*
Mad Decent
This EDM track is especially intense. It's an amazing mix of Trap and Dubstep that gets inside your head. Lovers of Trap will love this.

Another EDM track, this discovery was made because of my decision to join soundcloud! I was very pleasantly surprised to find that soundcloud was a perfect match for me.
Cosmo's Midnight
Yes, you guessed it, another EDM track - but this one is seriously amazing; it might even be my favorite.
Lana Del Rey
So maybe this month there isn't that much variation? What can I say I've been really loving Lana. Her voice is something else entirely.
Jessie J
I'm a sucker for some good old Jessie J. She's talent if I've ever heard it - I mean her voice is crazy good! Her range is out of this world and her voice is so strong.
Cover by Vince Kidd
This is actually a link to an audition for the Voice UK, but boy is it good. Vince's rendition of the classic "Like a Virgin" is incredible to say the least.
Alt-j
I listen to a lot of EDM (especially on soundcloud) and this song is one of the best I've heard. It has such a good beat and such funky twists throughout the whole song.
Medasin
This is such a fun track! It's definitely more chill but I love it for just that. It's got some great saxophone mixed in it which is always a fun time.
*Desire*
Years & Years
I have been listening to this song for months and I still love it. It's so unique and funky in the best way. Definitely a must listen.
*Jackal - Animal Style*
Mad Decent
This EDM track is especially intense. It's an amazing mix of Trap and Dubstep that gets inside your head. Lovers of Trap will love this.
The music I love probably gives the best insight as to who I am - so I hope you've learned a little bit about me and my taste.

How Music Saves Me Every Single Day
Life is tough.
No matter how brave a face you put on, chances are your life's not perfect. This past year was the toughest year of my life - emotionally and physically. I gained a ton of weight, I was diagnosed with depression, and I was diagnosed with all sorts of anxiety. My self-esteem plummeted to an all time low and I felt a level of self hatred unmatched in all my life. I loathed myself so intensely that it felt unnatural to look in the mirror and not hate what stared back. I found myself unable to talk to new people and unable to open up. And yet, it was then that I truly discovered myself.
Hitting such a low was awful. It shook me to my core and changed me. As much as I try to get better, I keep regressing - and it's frustrating. But I have progressed. I have gotten better. And every little step counts.
Through it all, I found what was truly important to me.
My friends. My family. Music.
I've always held my friends and family near and dear to my heart; but it wasn't until this year that I fully realized my passion for music. Music is more universal than anything in the world. It is a way to communicate with millions of people, and emotionally on top of that. Music touches the soul in a way nothing else can. Even in my darkest hours music could make me feel. Whether it made me feel sad, happy, frustrated, angry - it always made me feel better. In that way music is more powerful than any drug, any high in the world. Music saved the little happiness I had left, and it helps my smile grow a little bigger each day.

If you're struggling emotionally or physically, please reach out to someone. Holding everything in is not a solution. Remember, you are worth it, and you do deserve happiness.
