About me in 500 Words

My sister and I attended a Rainbow Kitten Surprise concert, July 2025 

A Girl with a Big Heart and a Deep Love for Music 

By Autumn Bell 

Growing up as the youngest daughter of six meant I was constantly surrounded by my big family in which meant growing up with a world of different music genres. 

Hearing classic 80's rock blast from my father's speakers while cooking dinner. 

A mix of Fleetwood Mac and The Beatles in the morning before school with my mom. 

Listening to Rap and R&B with my oldest Sister Nessa in the car sneaking out to go on an adventure. 

A unique combination of country and Hip-Hop music with my brother Buddy on the way to the park. 

Folk and alternative music playing in the background as my brother Zach and I head to the lake to go fishing. 

A sharing love of indie rock music and Cage the Elephant with my sister Kenzie as we get ready to go get coffee.

And the genre that I never got into of goth music stemming from my brother Ryan's room as he plays video games.

If anyone knows me, they know my big three, music, coffee and my family. It is what I live for each and every day. I can't imagine navigating through this weird, but sublime life without Noah Kahan's lyrics that hit straight to the heart, and my mom who brings comfort and calmness amongst the chaos. 

I think my life is a little bit chaotic because I always have music playing in the background no matter where or what I'm doing. While I'm reading, doing schoolwork, or driving to my favorite local coffee shop there's indie rock music playing. While I'm in the gym, getting ready with my best friends, or a late-night ice cream run there is R&B and Rap music blasting through the speakers. While I'm writing, taking my morning walk, or baking my favorite banana bread recipe there is folk and country music filling up the silence.

Music is a form of communication for when our own words fall short, when life hands us emotions too tangled, too loud or too tender to translate. It's a world that never stops expanding, a universe of sounds so massive that it is impossible for anyone to listen to every song that has ever been made. Maybe that's the magic. There is always another voice to discover, another beat to fall into, and another song to fall in love with.

Concerts have become my lifeline. They are a serotonin filled experience that is hard to describe, but it feels like hugging your sister after not seeing her for a really long time. Or drinking that fresh cup of ice lemonade after being at the beach all day. it's the feeling of the beat rushing through your bones, feet hurting from dancing for two hours straight and smiling because you want that feeling to last forever. 

I get the same feelings from my family and friends. A breath of fresh air. I want to bring those experiences to as many people possible and writing about it just might be the way to do that.
