I wrote this essay today about the power of music. https://marcus17043.medium.com/todays-energy-gateway-2f98196a9f8b You may enjoy it. Generally, I wrote these words about music many years ago: "I love how music triggers memories — often bringing me back to a time that now seems simpler and yearned for — but in reality those times were no simpler than the present — maybe it just seems that way because I survived them — because they are safely in the past?" That essay, my first and still favorite piece of expository writing, covered everything from my favorite lyrics, food, substance abuse, depression, deaths of friends, etc. https://medium.com/know-thyself-heal-thyself/self-portrait-in-essay-form-circa-12-2013-7bdac6f1510e
