Making your own music is nearly as practical as building your own house or cooking your own food, and more so in certain ways. After it is made, it acts as a form of remembrance therapy, transfiguring you into the person you were while making it. My hundreds of songs, many of which were lost in hard-drive crashes, range from my fourteenth year to my twenty-second, containing an immense variety of moods (I compose soundtracks, usually without lyrics). So whenever I am wandering the void of self-doubt, I recall myself through music, becoming anyone I have ever been – usually the brighter, healthier me from the decade when I had fewer worries, and often the majestic, impassioned me that seems more associated with an eternal core than with past or future. I have made few better decisions than to make my own music. I recommend it to anyone who feels the urge, and I recommend starting early, so as to capture as much "youth in a bottle" as possible.
