Songs like This Is Me are inspiring but I find myself drawn to the sadness of and anger over the wasted time spent suffering until the song could not be denied. We are often so bad at living and learning, but so good at settling in to the drab camouflage of obedient followers hiding from the risks of edginess and liberating self expression. Thanks for the uncomfort!
Agree. And to be clear I didn’t mean to disparage any of those songs. They are lovely and capture particular views of and experiences in the world. It’s just that in order to continue heal and grow I had to move past them. Songs have emotional resonance and I didn’t need those resonances in my body, mind or spirit anymore. I know you get this :-)
