My music tastes have changed dynamically. As of right now, I'm the most diverse I've ever been with music. I try to find different artists to listen to everyday; it's a lot harder to find pinpoint a favorite band of mine. I'm also in tune with pop culture now.

Oddly, I associate specific people and certain memories with a lot of the my past favorite songs. I'm trying not to do that anymore because I want to purely enjoy my music without thinking of someone or something. Another trend I've noticed is my music changes when the depth of my emotion and magnitude of my feelings change. The lyrics get less sad and more abstract as the years go by.

It's pretty interesting to see how much I've changed as a person and how music has influenced my maturation.

5) a. People who are more negative than they are positive and when they justify their negativity by saying it's realism.
b. People who don't know how to appreciate and are rude.
Uhm, yeah. I don't really care that much; I have a high level of tolerance. These two things just irritate me the most.
