Welcome to my blog! My name is Kiarra Bautista. I am originally from the Philippines although I have lived in Alaska for quite some time to consider it home. Over the years, music has become a constant in my life shaping how I move through my day and connect with different moments. As my experiences have grown so has my appreciation for a wide range of genres each offering something different depending on my mood. Music has supported me through change, helped me stay grounded, and allowed me to express my emotions. This blog is a space where I share my connection to music and the impact it continues to play in my everyday life.
Music has truly made a meaningful presence to me. It has lifted me up during moments when I felt overwhelmed and brought a sense of calm when everything else felt uncertain. It also adds happiness and energy to my day especially during moments when I need motivation or a mood boost. When I’m at the gym music helps me feel focused and pushed to keep going. No matter what I’m going through music helps me slow down, clear my mind, and feel understood in a way nothing else can at times. I’m drawn to music because it resonates with me on a deeper level and even brings back good memories. It has become my sense of calm in the middle of chaos and something I truly love to have playing every day. Music continues to guide me, lift my spirit, and make even the hardest moments feel lighter.
Below you’ll see one of the many songs I love which is called Gypsy by Fleetwood Mac. This song reflects themes of personal growth, self-reflection, and finding stability within yourself as life continues to change. At its core the song looks back on past experiences while also accepting the present which connects strongly to how I experience music in my own life. Music has followed me through different phases helping me adapt to change and stay connected to who I am. Gypsy captures that feeling of moving forward while still holding onto the parts of yourself that matter most. When I listen to it, it reminds me that growth doesn’t always have to be loud sometimes it’s quiet much like the role music plays in my life.
Hi Kiarra, That is very cool that you are from the Philippines and also interesting that you made it all the way to Alaska. But I totally agree with you, I think the right type of music can dictate and help you feel a certain way. I too like to listen to music for a mood boost and motivation, or when I just want to chill also.

ReplyDeleteAh! A gypsy soul. I loved your interpretation of the song's meaning.
ReplyDeleteGypsy was an everyday song for me, in highschool. Stevie must have put some type of magic in their music, Fleetwood Mac is something special!
