Soundtrack of My Life

Coming up are 5 songs that represent me in various different ways such as birth, milestones, personality, loss, dreams, or opinions on various subjects. Links to each song will be placed below the titles. - Not Afraid by Eminem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5-yKhDd64s This song represents me because it shows how Eminem bounced back from a series of significant scrutiny due to various false accusations for some acts against the law. He became depressed from this and he went into hiding for a period of time. Once he was ready to come back, he wrote this song and released his first album in two years with this song as the lead single. In November 2017, I went through a six week period during which I was depressed because I believed that nobody liked me and thought I was a bad person.

So my jacket is on and I try to sleep but I'm beyond uncomfortable and then my dad turns on the car and the heater and I'm burning. No luck for me and I don't want to wake up my dad by taking the jacket off so I don't sleep at all. I was trying to text people on Snapchat to no avail as it was 3-4-5am in Chicago. I decided to be the weirdest person in the world and attempt to gain the #1 overall world ranking in the game of guessing airport codes also to no avail (I'm still #2).
