This is currently my jam.
I like this song because it’s so… me.
It reflects how I felt (and possibly still feel) about the world and the people surrounding me. I felt like nobody really understood me, and even though some people tried to show compassion, their eyes didn’t reflect the words they said. Now I’m more understanding, of how other people my age have their own needs and concerns.
I don’t like how I’m different from everybody else. I want to grow and mature with them, not before them. Because then, I will be isolated in my own little box, in my own little category, and will often be left out of conversations.
So, tonight, I’m calling to all the astronauts out there, who feel like they don’t belong: please stay strong. Don’t ever let anybody else tell you otherwise. Don’t take the endless criticisms to heart — use them as experience, as a launching pad. Then, when you are over them and their meaningless taunts, show them who you really are. The hardest part for me was always to stay nice to the people who disliked me for pretty much two-thirds of my life. However, that is one of the most essential parts in human communication. And because there are many people out there who will discriminate, judge, and criticise, please do try to be nice.
