“Sun Comes Up” by Rudimental is the song I chose that I didn’t know. I chose this song because while looking for a song the title caught my attention. After listening to it, I couldn’t stop. I loved it because it represented bad times but even after those you have to keep pushing through it. I have had plenty of obstacles in my life, some good and some bad but no matter what I still continued to push myself to do better. Everyday is a new day and this song depicted that so good. I would’ve never listened to song if I didn’t look for it. Honestly though, all good things come in when you’re not looking for them so I think this was a great song too in a way describe myself. Only you can set boundaries on yourself and how you pick yourself up. When the sun comes up, it’s a new day for you to be able to express yourself and to take in the bad and the good so that you can learn. To me, life is about pushing yourself and this song just said it all in 3 minutes. I’m beyond thankful for all the bad experiences in my life because it just allowed to me to be a better me and it allowed me to see the greater picture in myself and others.

“Love yourz” by J. Cole to me represents tough times and how through it all, all you can really do is be appreciative for your life and for others life as well. Specifically this song talks about how YOUR life matters. I remember hearing this song for the first time and I automatically started crying. It came in at a perfect time in my life because emotionally I was really going through it and it helped me pick myself up. Half of the song is just saying “no such thing as a life better than yours” and it was a constant reminder to me during that time to not give up on myself. It was about there being beauty in the struggle and to just appreciate what you have now. No matter how tough life is there's no reason to believe that you can't do anything to better yourself. The whole vibe of this album was based on a lot of pain and experience and just picking yourself up from basically nothing. The way it’s set up to the experiences just allowed me to see that there isn't no right or wrong to being yourself or on how you pick yourself up. There was a lot of emotional ties to this song and it comforted me in so many ways. This song made me grateful to be alive and to avoid the negativity and to be thankful for this life we have because not everyone has it as good as you. Not even just that but because this life? no yeah, it’s the only one we have and we might as well be thankful for the opportunities we’ve gotten whether they were good or bad.

WELCOME <3

Throughout my journey in life, I have come to discover a lot about myself and what life means to me. I believe that every day we can find something new about ourselves if we pay attention. I come from a small country in Mexico called Puebla. Being from there my family is very religious bounded but I am not. I believe that peace comes from within. There isn't something that made me realize this, it was more just from experience. I never really adapted to my family's morals or beliefs. I guess one would say, I rebelled against it. I followed rules and boundaries that were placed but I always questioned it. I knew there was more to life than just those rules set upon me. My family never let me go out, never let me have relationships, and were never really supportive of my decisions. With that in mind, I felt as if I was trapped in a little bubble that I could never escape. I never had the opportunities to grow from what I was raised from until about the end of high school. I came more in touch with myself and new experiences humbled me. I had already known before what I liked and what I didn't since I did have so much time on my hands. I concluded that those rules were just set to not explore my true self. So what did I do? A LOT. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate what my family did for me because it also played a huge part of my life growing up. It gave me a sense of responsibility, since a major part of my life was and still is to take care of my younger brother and it gave me independence. It also gave me other skills but those are the two major things I will be forever grateful for. Coming from this type of family was really frustrating that I separated myself from them. Especially now being college where they cannot breathe down my neck all the time. I’m still learning about myself and I’m happy about it. My daily motivation is to just go with the flow. I prioritize certain things like class and work but with everything else, whatever happens, happens. The people I’m around now are supportive and have shown me a lot. I find peace in the little things in life because of them. Life is so beautiful if you keep yourself open to new experiences. On a daily basis, I keep pushing myself to be open and to really pay attention to the little things I would’ve never paid attention to. There is so much more to everything if you set aside your pride or if you step out of your comfort zone. Life can be really rough on some people and fairly simple to others or it could even be confusing as heck but at the end of the day, it’s really how you want to live life. Everyone could find life easier if they really tried or if they really learned to step out of the bubbles that they are stuck in. Obviously, I still have rules to abide such as the law and even my family still but those could never define me anymore (besides the law). My body and brain have really just connected since I have been able to make more connections outside of my family and the town I never left. That also doesn’t mean that I won't be confused because i’m still trying to get it together but it’s okay to be confused and it’s okay to not know much about the meaning of life. So far though, at least for me, everything's coming together in a much more harmonious way than I would’ve ever imagined.
