In my personal experience, I've struggled with finding a
sense of belonging. So I actually resonate heavily with the lyrics of the song.
Although I was in plenty of after school programs, such as the YMCA, Boys and
Girls Club, Kids Klub, it was always hard for me to connect with other kids. It
wasn’t until recently, two years ago actually, when I lived with my
friends/roommates. It was there when I was actually able to be myself and not
feel judged. After living with three young adults who share the same interests
and problems, we became a sort of mini family.
I related a lot to the lyrics of the
song. As the oldest sister of four, I felt like I had to be a good role model
for my siblings. As I got older, I began to feel more pressured to do good, despite
the internal struggles I had. “Hey guys, it's me! The biggest disappointment you know”
That perfectly displays how I have felt, feeling like I’ve disappointment my
family. After graduating high school, I was on track to completing college within
four years and do things the “right way” (although I now know that there is no
set time to finish your degree).
