I'm Only Human





If anyone has not heard this song or seen this powerful music video, please watch. Christina Perri's songs are so unbelievably beautiful with a meaningful message. Growing up I was pretty used to keeping things to myself, biting my tongue when I thought I should and trying to please everyone. But there's only so much I could keep bottling up until I felt like I was going to explode with so many emotions.. my boyfriend made me realize how unhealthy it is for me to do that. Christina made me realize in myself that there is nothing wrong with me.. I am only human and I do make mistakes.

We need to stop bringing ourselves down whenever we're unhappy. WE control our OWN happiness. We are not machines, we're not programmed to be unhappy and comply to everyone. Even the people you think are perfect aren't. It's all for show, but deep down inside everyone has their own demons that they're trying to overcome. Whether it'd be big or small, it's still a problem that needs to be fixed. At 3:10 of the video, you really hear the power behind her words.. to me it feels like a cry for help almost. Like there's inner sadness that even she's facing and just wants to scream it out. Honestly, after listening to this song and watching the video so many times, it almost wants to make me cry because I feel like I want to release the anger I have in my heart too.

Please do not feel like you are alone ever. Nobody is perfect, you cannot please everyone, you will never be 100% happy all day everyday in your life, but that's okay. You're only human, so it's okay to make mistakes or to not be #1. "You'll get through it." Try your best and just have fun with life. Never take anything so seriously in your life; invite fun and mistakes into your life.
