This video eloquently explains how to unleash the semicolons power correctly.
Is it a comma?
Or is it a period?
In general, semicolons should be used to compartmentalize and connect relatable thoughts to each other.
For example, these sentences from the video:

Both thoughts are related to each other, so they can be connected together.
If two thoughts are unrelated, however, you should never use a semicolon to connect them.
With a little practice, semicolons can become a valuable tool in your writing skill set.
