You become the new girl to a class of around a dozen students who have been together forever so it's already hard, but you make it through. Things start to go back to normal, and you live the typical high school student life until half-way through your Junior Year when you move to Charleston, South Carolina. Your heart broke that day, but again you had a great circle to help you through it all. Later down the road these events will start to blur together: Momma got married, he moved in with us in Florida all the way from South Carolina, you go through school and live for the moments when you get home with everyone, school ends, summer camp begins and you're a counselor (this is where you meet your first boyfriend), you start dating, things start to change around the house, summer ends, school starts back up, and one day you come home to find dad gone. While we're on the topic of boyfriends, you are right around the corner from meeting your first boyfriend, and this is where things start to get interesting. He really was one of the sweetest guys you ever met, and has such a sweet family. You end up dating someone you already know, but that won't be for a few years, and it breaks your heart when you move because you knew you guys were going to break up. It takes years, but you both still talk to each other from time to time, and she has an adorable baby now. Same goes for that one girl who picks on you so she could fit in with the popular girls. You two don't become best friends, but you find a mutual understanding for each other. Do you know that one guy that bullied you endlessly last year? Yeah well later this year, you both end up in the dean's office for sticking up for each other against another bully (who never disrespected either of you afterwards). Trust me, you picked a great circle who help you through a lot.Īnyways, middle school is rough, but it isn't all bad. Some of them won't stick around, some will become too busy, and you'll move which makes things harder but the friendship will always be there. You already have a great group of friends that you'll continue to love as much even more than you do now even in your 20's. Spoiler alert- the acne does go away eventually. It's middle school, specifically it's 7th grade for you, and it could be better. I know that you definitely are not having the best time in school right now, but I promise that will change soon.
The video links to the second one check it out. He also includes quotes of things one might expect to hear on the street, calling it out for its lowkey, everyday racism. He calls out the average person, asking how we can expect to borrow for black culture yet cannot stand up for their lives except for if it makes us look good. Taking a controversial stance on the current race tensions, Macklemore speaks out about how his privilege affects his own personal success as a white rapper. Definitely worth a listen, especially when you're starting to feel down and out about life. An overall-motivating anthem, this song reminds us that we have a choice to get through the bad times or not even if we are alone, our goals make it worth the fight. In this beautiful song featuring lyrics about the benefits in any situation, Macklemore reminds us that freedom is the ultimate goal - and freedom is why we continue to fight through these rough situations.
