My experiences, like those of many women, align closely with the song “SKINNY”. My body has undergone many changes in the past few years. I used to weigh nearly 50 pounds more than I do now. My relationship with food was unhealthy, and I did not feel good about my body. Then, I lost that weight. I started wearing different clothing. I finally heard compliments and people congratulating me for my weight loss, but I still did not feel good about my body. If anything, I was under more stress because I felt that people were expecting me to lose even more. “SKINNY” reminds me that I am not alone in these thoughts, and despite what others may think of my body, what matters is that I now appreciate it. “What Was I Made For?” perfectly describes the complex emotions associated with growing up. As early as middle school, we are expected to have our lives planned out, but this is easier said than done. Things are always changing, and deciding what I want to do for the rest of my life has been tough to say the least. I am still figuring out who I am, and it can feel incredibly isolating. It is difficult for me to reach out during these times as I do not want to burden others with my problems. Still, it is crucial to hold onto even the smallest amount of hope that things will change for the better and remember that I deserve happiness. As shown by the song “my future”, learning to love yourself is a never-ending journey. I recently experienced my first relationship, and before it started, I thought that having a partner would help me love myself. However, that was not the case. I was constantly being drained, and I eventually realized that I had to do what I felt was right. Now that the relationship has ended, I see myself completely differently. I have learned to appreciate the time I spend with myself and even find comfort in it. I know that I am capable of achieving great things, and the only person who can truly hold me back is me. So, I will continue to work towards a future where I am happy doing what I love.
