seems like most of the popular singers today have been bullied before when they were younger. Bully here is not restricted to being bullied when they were younger, in school, but more like been underestimated and rejected by people all around them.
i remembered the song that led me forward when i was super down facing my final Professional Exam last year, i listened to 'Fighter' by Gym Class Heroes featuring Ryan Tedder. the song reflected on how much people didn't accept them and how they went through all of the hurdles despite what people say and how much failure they faced all along, and yeah, they are the fighter. i remember myself crying to the song, as i questioned myself, 'am i a fighter? do i deserve this title?' with tears rolling down my cheek, i read through my notes.
a few months ago, i cried again, listening to 'Shattered' by Trading Yesterday. it actually happened when i was watching a video done by some dudes in India or Bangladesh, i'm not sure, but they were promoting on not littering. and in the video, a homeless man was the one who changed another dude's mind to not litter. in the video, everybody looked down at the homeless man, heck, i looked down on him as well. but at the end of the video, i knew i was wrong, and so i cried, i felt bad. i felt bad that i judged him by his shaggy clothes, and yet, he's the real hero.
and tonight, i listened to 'Lose Yourself' by Eminem, and he described how he struggled to be accepted by the society to be the first white rapper, how people laughed at him when he couldn't get the lyrics right. and in the song, he did say, 'You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow, this opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo'
and i teared up already. this song is so motivational.
