This year was suppose to be different. And it was at first. I was the happiest I’d ever been and every aspect of my life was exciting and exhilarating. But then something happened, something changed. I did this thing where I pushed everyone away. Absolutely any and everyone that was close to me I wanted gone and out of my life completely. And that’s exactly what I did. I never gave reason for it, I didn’t feel like I had to. Its not like they would have understood anyway, only I was capable of truly feeling what was happening. I personally didn’t think anyone cared, and I was right for the most part, hardly anyone did. So I isolated myself, completely. The only friends I had were the walls in my room. They saw me laugh, they saw me cry, they watched me lie in bed for hours on end, day after day, night after night, slowing rotting into nothing. I became a different person in that room, like when a catepillar turns into a butterfly, I lived in a cacoon, except I went in a butterfly and came out something else..
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.
-John Ronald Reuel Tolkien

Music Therapy is the clinical and evidence-based use of music interventions to accomplish individualized goals within a therapeutic relationship by a credentialed professional who has completed an approved music therapy program.
Music Therapy is an established health profession in which music is used within a therapeutic relationship to address physical, emotional, cognitive, and social needs of individuals. After assessing the strengths and needs of each client, the qualified music therapist provides the indicated treatment including creating, singing, moving to, and/or listening to music. Through musical involvement in the therapeutic context, clients’ abilities are strengthened and transferred to other areas of their lives. Music therapy also provides avenues for communication that can be helpful to those who find it difficult to express themselves in words. Research in music therapy supports its effectiveness in many areas such as: overall physical rehabilitation and facilitating movement, increasing people’s motivation to become engaged in their treatment, providing emotional support for clients and their families, and providing an outlet for expression of feelings.
