Personal Narrative: A Letter To My Writing

Improved Essays
Dear Luke, Calum, Michael, and Ashton (AKA 5 seconds of summer),
This letter is something I wish I could say to you. But knowing myself, I know I probably won’t ever get the chance. It 's going to end up being a pretty long letter, so bear with me. Before I found out about you guys, I had never cared that much about music. I understood the effort it took to produce it, but I rarely listened to it. The times I did listen to it was usually when I was in the car, or there was nothing better to do. To me, music was just a combination of beats, voices, and musical instruments. It had no deeper meaning. I didn’t bother trying to understand what the artists were trying to say. I didn’t feel the emotions, the harmony, or the beauty of the lyrics. To some people music was everything. They couldn’t go a

So I turned to the only thing I could think of, music. Surprisingly, music did help. But it was specially your music, and you four in general that helped me. You’ve said before that one of your goals was that you would like to be an escape from reality for your fans. For me, you were that little escape. I could close my eyes and listen to your music. It made me feel like I had no worries anymore. No pain. Those sharp words being said were forgotten, even if it was just for a brief moment. I didn’t have to think. The thoughts clouding my brain were gone. I could just listen to your music as loud as I could, or as loud as I had to. You cheered me up when I was feeling down, and for that I am thankful. I felt alone. It was like you were the only ones I could turn to, and you understood the way I was feeling. Even though I had never met you, you made me feel like I was close to you. In those hard times you were there for me. You were my get away. My favorite time was when I was able to listen to your music and forget everything. I didn’t know a lot about you guys at that moment, but what I did know was that you were

    Maxfield, I thought it would be a good idea to write you a letter rather than yell or cry over FaceTime. I know that’s all I’ve been doing and I want to make a difference in how I speak to you for once. I’m going to tell you everything I can’t say in person in this letter so that at least you can read it and not be stressed that I’m crying or getting mad at you.…

    Everyone will interpret that message differently because everyone comes from different backgrounds as well. A large variety of songs are “for these kids, who don’t have a thing” (Eminem). Music has a way of affecting the emotions and mood of a person, “Hip-Hop helped heal me” (Newman Perkins). Sometimes it can be easy to get caught up in certain words an artist chose to use and forget the message being expressed behind the beat. Music is in every part of the world accepted by many cultures in many different ways.…

    So now, Thomas, I am writing back to your letter I received on the day I graduated High School. Unfortunately, the letter was a year too late. In the following six months after I told you goodbye in January, I found happiness in myself and met someone new. I appreciate your letter explaining your actions over the past year and how sorry you are, and I accept your apology. I appreciate you telling me now that you loved me then and still do now, but I’m afraid I no longer love you, and telling me you love me in a letter wont change my mind.…

    The first time, I enrolled in this class, I felt excited knowing this class would help on my grammar, so I can become a better writer. My first thought that cross my mind was this was going to be easy and it was. My last experienced with writing and English was okay because I mainly get a B or a C, but rarely I would get an A. I always been having trouble with grammars. My high school English teachers taught us about grammars and how to become a better writer. It was similar to what you had taught us in class because we always learned about grammar out of a book and we got tested after we been practice.…

    Who doesn’t struggle with writing? I know I always have struggled with writing, for the longest time I didn’t even really understand the differences in sentences, and it is something that’s still confuses me a little bit. To be completely honest I sometimes procrastinate longer than I should when it comes to writing, so I don’t always review the finished product the way I should. Life gets in the way occasionally, and I attempt to convince myself that I have plenty of time to finish they assignment. This particularly gave me problems in high school.…

    Even as much as I like to talk I find that often words sometimes become distant, lost and cannot describe the feelings and emotions I wish to express. Throughout my life music has been a constant in my life; it brought change and with that change came comfort. With every up and down music was always there, a silent friend waiting in the wings. Things were always this this way until one night when I was thirteen jamming to 70s rock, staring at the ceiling and dreaming of no longer being the spectator but the creator. Dreaming of being in front of crowds and seeing nothing but smiles and watching people groove to the rhythm.…

    Although I am only a thirteen-year-old, there are about three whole things that some people may not know about me. First of all, my favorite hobby, among others, is playing video games. Unlike many people who play console, mobile, or PC games, I enjoy using tactics and strategy. Most gamers in today's gaming society enjoy holding the trigger or mouse button and spraying bullets back and forth until they can get a kill. However, when I play online games such as Battlefield or Medal of Honor, I like to use tactics and sneak up on my enemy.…

    The song lyric “I 'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you” is so relevant to how I feel about us. I wish I could take all the time I wasted or have and be able to give it back to you and have that time to be with you. Since I know that is impossible, I want to make every day, minute, second, and so on special and memorable for us. I want every moment to be where we grow together. I love when people ask me about my boyfriend because I could talk about you forever.…

    I couldn’t think of anything that could quite sum up the love I have for you. There are no words known to man that can quite describe the friend you are to me and to get even close to that we would need hours. But for the sake of everyone here, I will keep it short and tell you this; I have never seen someone impact everyone around them so easily. You walk into a room and are able to make the blandest of times some of the most memorable. Smiles surround you and for that me as well as everyone who you have graced with your presence is a better person.…
