You're like the hook in my favourite song

I like to sing.

Not that I think I'm an amazing singer, just that I like doing it. I especially like singing when I'm on the road, driving to work because it puts me in a good mood. I like to start days with good moods. Which is why I say, never ever, start the day with John Mayer. Though he is a lyrical genius, generally his music just brings me down because then, all I think about are my past relationships and how they hurt, etc. etc.
So I go with rock. Maybe something like anthemic rock. Or even music from Broadway/film musicals. Or nowadays, it has been Glee music because Glee makes me smile, no matter what the song. Lea Michele never fails to make me smile with her beautiful voice.

I don't get the whole stigma about being embarrassed about singing while you're driving. Why should you feel embarrassed? If people laugh, then so what? I feel sorry for them because it just goes to show they're not even brave enough to do it. I do it for my own enjoyment because music is so much a part of me that I really cannot function without a song in my heart. Why is there fear to do the thing you love to do the most? There shouldn't be.

You shouldn't be afraid to do what you want, when you want. Especially if it is something that you love. Because god, don't you just get this awesome feeling rushing inside you when you know you're doing something you love? Don't people want that for themselves? Don't people want that for others?

Because I do. I want that for other people. To know what it feels like to be so consumed with joy and love. To get lost in the throes of cool passion. It's life. It's love. And there is no better drug than that.
