Soulmates
When you find a person whose soul mirrors yours, you know that they are your soulmate, yours forever. Someone who reflects your soul does not have to be the love of your life, it could be a family member or, in my case, your best friend. I was in a rough place, just going about my life when this girl walked into my life and flipped it upside down.

Music that Saved Me
I did not have the easiest childhood. Growing up, my mother and I had issues with my father, even after their divorce. He was a drug addict and an alcoholic who refused to help himself, instead he spent his time hurting us. From there my mother found a nice guy, married him, and took in his children as her own. What a mistake that was. Do not get me wrong, the guy is great, kind, caring, gentle. His kids on the other hand were not. Children's aid was involved in my teenage years multiple times due to them spreading lies, they broke up my family, stole all my friends, and treated me like I was trash. My 'boy drama' was also above average in the heartbreak department. Then, to top off the 'perfect' childhood, my bestfriend passed away just as I was completing high school. Yes, there were some good times that I can remember, but most of my time was spent sitting in a dark room with my music playing so loud to drown out my terrible thoughts. These 6 songs helped me get through my childhood full of fear, anxiety, insecurity, and apprehension, also known as angst.

The Quiet Child
I am the quiet one. The one who is seen and never heard. The one who never gets to speak first and consistently gets cut off. I am the disregarded, overlooked, underestimated child. I may have been born first but I am always the last to be thought of.

Pictures
Why do I hate pictures? I never used to hate them. Before all of this social media and these mobile phones. They have created a world that is insidiously invasive, painfully pervading, and utterly ubiquitous. Everyone is now living their lives through and for pictures. Everyone is showing their 'best life' which really isn't their best life at all. I never wished for a luxurious life or flawless skin, for popularity or a happy ending. All I wished for is to be able to close my eyes and fall asleep within moments, but that has been replaced with pictures of other peoples lives.
