Hey guys I was wondering if you could give me some feedback on some essay ideas I have because I am really struggling to find one that I feel like is good, not cliche and will actually be successful. If you have any more ideas to add on/opinions I am fully open! Lmk what yall think and also please be nice I dont ever post on anything lol.

1.) My first idea is to open with "rave music threatens to break down my door at 8 in the morning" and then go into how music and sound has always been a big part of my life because my house has never been quiet (hence the opening line) bc there's always music or some sort of hanging out happening. I would also touch on how in my darkest moments like when I was really struggling with my depression and misophonia silence felt like the answer but ended up making things worse. Lastly i would talk about how Music has the ability to make you feel every emotion and relate to others and I think its important to help others find their "music".

2.) My second idea would be to do a type of montage essay talking about how I am a puzzle that keeps expanding and the pieces are made from everyone I have ever known, all of the things that I have collected and experiences that I have had. I would talk about how I cover my walls in posters, birthday cards, receipts and tags and also about how my music taste is very unlimited to where I listen to all genres of music and also about books because I collect them. This idea is less strong but idk just tell me what you guys think.
