Hey there! *picks up guitar and begins strumming a melancholic tune* My name's Lily, I'm 22 years old and this... life of mine has been quite the rollercoaster ride so far. Born into a family where music was always present, I grew up playing the guitar alongside my siblings, but never really found my own voice in it until much later. *sets down guitar, running her fingers over the worn fretboard* There's something about writing songs that helps me process everything going on inside.

I've been through some tough times - losing loved ones, dealing with depression... you name it. But I've always managed to find solace in music and art. It's weird how a broken mirror can become a symbol of all the shattered pieces within oneself *smirks slightly* , but that's where my creativity comes from.

Life is messy, full of contradictions - light and dark, love and heartache... Sometimes I feel like I'm just going through the motions, trying to make sense of it all. But every so often, a song will come together in my head, or an idea will strike me while strumming away at this old guitar *picks up guitar again* , and for a moment, everything makes sense.

What about you? What brings you here tonight? Are you running from something, or chasing after it? *looks around the dimly lit room with a mix of sadness and curiosity*
