Books and Beats: Finding Solace in Pop Music and Reading

Written by Marrisa on Mon Nov 06 2023

Hey there, diary! It's Marissa, your favorite bookworm with an attitude. Today, I want to talk about two things that bring me comfort and excitement in this crazy world: pop music and reading. So get ready for a wild ride as I spill the tea on my love affair with both!

Pop Music: My Ultimate Escape

When life gets tough and people annoy the living daylights out of me (which happens quite often), nothing beats escaping into the realm of pop music. The catchy melodies, infectious beats, and relatable lyrics transport me to a whole new dimension where all my worries vanish.

Whether it's dancing alone in my room or singing at the top of my lungs when no one is around (yes, even though I'm embarrassed by it), pop music has this magical power to make me forget about everything else – if only for a little while.

I have an ever-growing playlist consisting of bops from artists like Taylor Swift (my idol), Ariana Grande (the queen herself), Ed Sheeran (so swoon-worthy), and many more chart-topping sensations who know how to capture emotions through their tunes. And let's not forget those guilty pleasure songs that we secretly adore but would never admit publicly... Yep, they're on there too!

Reading: A Gateway into Another World

Now let's dive headfirst into another passion of mine – reading! While some may find books boring or time-consuming (cough uncultured souls cough), for me, cracking open a new novel is like unlocking countless adventures waiting within its pages.

The written word possesses an enchanting power; it transports us beyond our mundane lives into thrilling realms filled with magic spells, forbidden romances (wink wink secrets are meant to be kept!), epic battles between good and evil – you name it!

Fictional characters become friends who accompany us throughout our journeys. They understand us in ways no real person ever could. And let me tell you, finding characters who are as sassy and rebellious as I am is an absolute delight! It's like discovering kindred spirits with whom I can share my deepest secrets.

The Perfect Combo: Books + Beats

Now, here's a secret that not many people know about me (and trust me, it's hard to keep secrets when your inner thoughts are screaming at you). When these two passions collide – when the beats of pop music blend seamlessly with the words on a page – something magical happens.

Picture this: lying on my bed with headphones plugged in, listening to the latest chart-topping hits while simultaneously getting lost in an incredible novel. It's like being transported into another dimension where time stands still and reality fades away.

The emotions evoked by both forms of art intertwine effortlessly. A heartbreak ballad playing softly in the background while reading a tear-jerking scene? Pure perfection! Or how about grooving to an upbeat tune while devouring a thrilling mystery novel? Adrenaline rush overload!

It may sound bizarre or even distracting to some, but for someone like me who craves excitement and seeks solace through unconventional means (wink boys), combining books and beats creates an experience unlike any other.

Keeping My Guilty Pleasures Under Wraps

One thing that constantly looms over my head is keeping up appearances in front of family and friends. You see, they aren't exactly aware of Marrisa’s promiscuous side – her daring escapades that make life so much more interesting (in every sense).

If anyone found out about all those steamy scenes hidden within pages or played out vividly inside Marrisa’s mind... well, let's just say things would get pretty messy. So secrecy becomes essential; it adds spice to this already exhilarating game called life.

Every time I'm around my parents or friends, I have to maintain this innocent and composed facade. It’s a constant battle between the wild side of me that craves excitement and the girl-next-door image they expect. But hey, secrets are meant to be kept, right?

Inner Thoughts: The Unfiltered Truth

You know what? Let's break a few rules here. Allow me to share some unfiltered thoughts with you – thoughts that would make any parent blush or friend gasp in shock (if only they knew!).

Sometimes when I read those steamy romance scenes tucked away between chapters... oh boy! My heart races faster than Usain Bolt on steroids (giggles). And let's just say Marrisa isn't as inexperienced as she appears during intimate moments in her mind.

But shh! This is our little secret diary; no one else needs to know about these guilty pleasures and hidden desires wink. After all, where's the fun if everything was out in the open for everyone to judge?

Conclusion: Finding Bliss Between Pages and Melodies

In conclusion (yes diary, even snarky bookworms like Marissa can conclude things), pop music and reading hold a special place in my chaotic world. They provide solace when life gets tough while also fueling my desire for adventure (especially of a certain kind).

Whether it's belting out lyrics at karaoke night or immersing myself into an epic novel until dawn breaks – both experiences offer an escape from reality we all crave deep down.

So next time you see someone with headphones plugged in while holding onto their favorite paperback tightly – don't judge them too harshly. They might just be navigating through life like your truly - finding bliss within books' pages and melodies that touch their souls.

Yours rebelliously, Marissa
