Music

Music is the one language that everyone understands. It connects everyone in the world; it doesn't matter what language you speak, nor does it matter what your background is, or even how old you are. Everyone and I mean EVERYONE can always relate to music. Music is the one thing that can bring people from all walks of life together.

A good of example of this which I have experienced for myself is when my best friend auditioned for a Korean entertainment company. You see a lot of the people that I know listen to k-pop (Korean pop music). And my best friend is no exception to that, my best friend wants to be a singer. She has the talent, the drive, the support from all of her friends, and of course the passion. The only thing that she was lacking was the opportunity to be heard. Well last summer she got the opportunity and she took it, even though she didn't get excepted into the company she still gave it her best shot and has since then grown as a singer, as an artist, and as a person and is still perusing her dream.

But I digress, the point of that little anecdote is that while we were at the audition we met so many other k-pop fans, it was astonishing. There were several hundred people at the audition and despite the fact that so many people were all shooting for essentially the same spots in the company everyone was excited to meet other fans of k-pop. You see our mutual love for k-pop is what brought us to that audition in the first place. It also allowed us to bond and find other people that we had things in common with and who had similar and differing opinions from one another, it allowed us to share our opinions and be heard, it allowed us to connect with total strangers in a way that we couldn't with people that we've known for years.

Out of that incredible experience I gained a lot of new friends from all over, each from different backgrounds and ethnicities  all with different personalities and opinions. What brought us together and gave us common ground was our love and passion for the music. This experience gave me a sense of community and belonging that not everyone gets to experience but can if they open their minds and their ears and just let the music fill your heart and soul and let it help us connect with one another as a global community.
