Personal Narrative- Mixed CD Project

“Undercover Hero; the Mix of my Lyfe” is the story of my life from the beginning of high school to the present. So much has changed in my own life over the past four years that I feel like I am a completely different person, a great way to describe the changes and experiences in my life were through music and sound. Being able to feel what I have accomplished in my life and what I have been through over the years through respected artists passionate lyrics has unleashed a new level of storytelling for the great changes and myths in my life. These songs allow my story to be told to a wide variety of people with different tastes in music, in a sense it speaks to many different languages and types of people. The story of my life is that of change, struggle, and plenty of storms before I eventually reach the places of peace and contentment in my life. In the beginning of my high school journey, I struggled to find out what I wanted to be, so naturally I pretended to be plenty of things I was not- living in a lie and neglecting who I really am in order to create an image for myself that I didn’t really want. After awhile I got sick of it and I had to put a stop to it, freeze that act in its tracks. I thought about how numb I had gotten towards live and how I felt like there was no significance to what I’ve done on my life. I just wanted to Live my life, and It was when I became a Christian that I found the remedy for the worn out shell I was calling my life. It was difficult to change and really be myself around people that thought they knew me already, it was like being tricked by my own façade, I had to break away and just live. With a new mentality in my life and a new school year to work with, I focused on changing myself for the better and it was awesome! Now all I want to do it celebrate.
