article: Find out about metal shows being put on in your area and make sure you're in attendance. Being part of the crowd at a loud, aggressive live performance is a much more exhilarating experience than sitting and listening to a record. Live shows are also a great place to meet like-minded people and have a chance to feel like part of a larger, unified movement. Look for flyers are music stores, coffee shops, alternative boutiques and school campuses for information on upcoming metal events. Most bands post tour dates and venues on their social media pages. If you can find others that have the same passion for music, consider taking up an instrument and forming your own band. That way you can participate in the creative side of metal music. You'll have full control over the over the type of sound you produce and become a fixture in your local metal scene, which can lead to more opportunities to perform and network in the future. Try posting audition announcements in places where metal fans tend to hang out in order to find potential bandmates. Though a lot of people think that playing metal music doesn't require skill, this couldn't be further from the truth. The complex structures and virtuoso soloing of classical music has been highly influential on metal, as have the breakneck tempos of punk and rock and roll. Spend time with others that share your musical preferences. Common interests are often one of the foundations of lasting friendships. Once you've made a few friends within the scene, you'll have someone to listen to records, go to shows and take road trips with. Despite its mistakenly gloomy reputation, the global metal community is quite inclusive and treats its members with the respect of an extended brotherhood. Discover new music with your current friends and get them into metal with you. Make an effort to meet people at shows or record stores who are also into metal music. Telling someone you like the band on their shirt is a great way to strike up a conversation. Run a search for internet forums or social media groups you can become a member of. There, you'll be able to read posts, voice your opinions and discuss music with other fans from all over the world. It can also provide a channel for you to receive news updates related to the metal music industry, band tour schedules, interesting anecdotes and recommendations for new music. Metal Injection, Metal Sucks and Loudwire are examples of a few higher-profile metal websites. Take a look at groups on Facebook that are open to the public, and keep up with band media on Instagram, Twitter and Bandcamp. Metal is not about fashion or following trends but being yourself. While a certain aesthetic can help you express your individuality, the most important thing is that you remain true to yourself and be authentic. Listen to what you like, dress how you want to dress and make no apologies. Pay no mind to critics who badmouth your lifestyle or the music you listen to, and never make it your goal to impress anyone. Metal was born from the urge to stand at odds with society. Metal is all about freedom, self-expression and the courage to live outside of what is typically regarded as "normal." If you always do what you want rather than what's fashionable, you have more credibility as a metalhead than someone who has the look down but is just trying to gain acceptance from others.

article: If you know that you'll likely hear fireworks, take steps to make your body feel safe. For example, keep your back against something hard (like a wall or a chair) if you're starting to feel unsafe. Think about what makes you feel grounded and supported. You may want to wear long sleeves or pants to cover your body as a way to feel safe or always have a view of the sky. . If you're feeling tense or triggered, start taking deep breaths. Put your attention solely on your breath and practice taking several breaths in and out. Focusing on your breathing can help you feel calm and bring you back to a neutral state of being. Instead of putting your attention to your fear, distress, or startling, focus on breathing deeply and counting your inhales and exhales. Even if you feel unsafe, look around you and take in your environment. Remind yourself "I am safe here and not in harm." Remind yourself where you are and that you are safe in your current surroundings. Describe to yourself or out loud what you see: maybe you see a tree, your bedroom window, or the moon. This can help you bring yourself back to your current reality, not a reality of the past. Grounding exercises can help you to feel more present and connected with your surroundings, which is important if you begin to feel panicked. Some of the grounding exercises that you can try include: The 5-4-3-2-1 exercise. For this exercise, identify 5 things you can see, 4 things you can hear, 3 things you can feel, 2 things you can smell, and 1 good thing about yourself. Ask yourself reorienting questions. These can include things like: Where am I? How old am I? What is the day? Date? Month? Year? Season? Try a grounding guided meditation. In this type of meditation, you imagine that you have roots extending from the inside of your body into the ground and all the way down to the core of the earth.

There are different spellings of words across dialects of Igbo. Any spelling you learn is not necessarily the correct spelling of a word, simply one acceptable spelling. Igbo written language is phonetic, so for the most part you will be okay if you learn the pronunciation of letters and write a word as it sounds. If vowels have either a dot under the letter or an umlaut above, this indicates a different pronunciation of that letter. New Standard Orthography uses an umlaut, but you may see previous versions in writing. In Igbo, personal pronouns are either separable or inseparable. Inseparable pronouns are singular, and appear in combination with the verb. For example, bi means "live." If you want to say "I live," it would be ebi m. For first person singular, the letter "m" follows the verb stem. Separable pronouns can be used as a subject, direct or indirect object, or to show possession. For example, the Igbo word anyi can be used to mean "we," "us," or "our." The word itself does not change regardless of how it's used. To conjugate verbs in present tense, give them a prefix that harmonizes with the verb stem vowel. Use an a- before a vowel stem with an a, i, o, or u vowel. The e- prefix harmonizes with i, e, o, or u vowels. For example: ebi m (I live). You don't have to harmonize the vowels if you're using separable pronouns. Simply use the verb stem. For example: anyi bi (we live). Igbo verbs do not distinguish between past and present tense. Rather, suffixes are used to indicate when the action took place. The suffix -tara or -tere is added to a verb stem to indicate an action occurred in the past. For example: o zutara anu (he bought meat). Choose the suffix form to harmonize vowels, not for gender or any other reason. In Igbo, nouns do not change form if they are plural. You can identify whether a word is singular or plural by looking at the words around it. Number words are found after the noun, while ordinals precede the noun. For example: ulo ise means "five houses." The word ulo means "house" while ise means "five." Look for an Igbo or Nigerian community group near you and see if they have any language resources available. Ideally, you can perfect your language skills by working with someone who has native fluency. If you find someone who is trying to learn English, you might be able to work out an exchange in which both of you help each other practice. Helping a native speaker learn English will also help you understand the grammatical structure of Igbo. They may make mistakes because some aspect of English grammar is absent from Igbo grammar. For example, they might say "five house" instead of "five houses," because in Igbo the noun form doesn't change when pluralized.
