I have been listening to music for a long time, and lately I’ve been reflecting on how music affects me and how much it matters to me. I’ve met people who just casually don’t listen to music very often and it’s just crazy to me because I couldn’t imagine a life without music. Whether it was when I used to listen to random songs of different genres with no real theme or now when I’ve been listening to mainly rap or hip hop music. Music is a way to express yourself, and I feel like music has such a power on your emotions and how you feel and it can change your emotions very quickly. Like i could be having a very good day and be in a good mood and then suddenly a sad song comes on and the whole good day and good mood suddenly disappears. Vice versa as well, you could be having. bad day and not be in a good mood, and suddenly and upbeat classic song that you haven’t heard in a couple years comes on, and your mood completely improves. Like I use music even more than I think I do, when I’m cleaning the kitchen, doing homework, walking my dog, or just everywhere during the school day in general. Then when I talk to some people and they just casually say “yea I don’t listen to music much”, it’s just crazy to me because it is such a big part of my life.

introduction to Adrien
My name is Adrien Mills, and I was born in 2010 and am 15 years old. I was born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. I lived there for 3 or 4 years before moving to Edmonton, Alberta, where I lived for 5 years. I lived there for 5 years until I eventually moved to Montréal for 2 years for my mom to do her residency for becoming a doctor. I lived in Montréal during Covid so I didn’t really get to experience Montréal the way I wanted to, but then I eventually moved here and have been living here for about 4 years. We originally stayed in this cramped basement suite for like a year and a half while we were waiting for our house to be built, but once we had lived in our house for like a year, we found out it was too small, so we bought a new house and had a new one built. now we live here. I really like swimming and I swim competitively and I like to say that I am good at it. I really like listening to music and playing video games.
