Sad hours :(

As I transition into the age where most teenagers become old enough to develop things like depression and anxiety from school or more personal things, they come to music or to be more specific, sad music. Music about being a “better world”. To be honest I’m a pretty happy person compared to most teenagers these days who to be honest take everything to offense and break down whenever something bad happens to come their way, based on what I’ve seen a lot of days, but there are also people who are strong, who keep it together for people they love the most. Those people I admire and really hope to be one day, but we’re all human so it’s okay to break down and lean on for support with either someone to talk to or drown yourself in music that reminds yourself that people out there have it worse than you and you should feel privileged to live. That’s what I’m here to talk about today. This one song is called “A little Too Much” by Shawn Mendes. 

This song unlike a lot of songs these days aren’t sexual, and I love that about this song. The singer Shawn Mendes is a very popular singer who suffers from anxiety or depression, and I honestly don’t know based on a lot of different things a bunch of websites would state. This song talks about a guy who would watch this girl from far away and always hears how an independent woman she is and how she never lets anything get in her way. One powerful line that really hits me is “Sometimes it all gets a little too much, but you gotta realize that soon the fog will clear up,” and honestly I think that many people can relate to this line. Another powerful line from this song is, “But when it got hard she would lose her focus. So take my hand and we’ll be alright,” and that is where people don’t realize there are many people out there to help them, people who are a text away, people you lost connections with but they’ll always be there for you. A lot of the time people think they’re in it by themselves and there’s no one to talk to which I think is pretty selfish for thinking that in the first place, but that’s what a lot of people are.
