A 17 year old girl recently DM'd me on Instagram, telling me how amazing my music was, and that it really spoke to her soul. We kept on talking for a bit, and I asked her about what she wanted to do once she graduated from high school. She said she hadn't the slightest idea. She was torn in between being an artist, or doing what her parents want her to do. Suddenly the conversation got dark. She told me she was very sad. She told me she didn't like living and she hated herself. She had attempted suicide twice before, but got caught on both occasions. I asked her name and she responded "My name is hard to explain." I quickly responded with a "That's a beautiful name! Hi Hard to Explain, I'm Destti :) and she wrote a "haha" so hopefully it made her giggle. Any who, after having a long talk about how life is tough when you're young, that things will get better in time and trying to get her to understand that she's the most important person in the universe (seeing as we all are to at least to one person in our universe: Ourselves) Her story reminded me of when I was young (and most of you who know me know that my childhood was unusually... awry.) and truth be told, I was on the same boat as her when I was her age, so I wanted to write a song for her, and this is what came out of it. I took some snippets of an animation by Hannah Spangler titled "The Overcomer" the original animation is super cool and much deeper, but I reduced it (There's only so much you can express with a minute for an Instagram video), so if you like this short one I edited, watch the whole thing at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6ui161NyTg Thanks for listening everybody :); to life and happiness #art #music #musical #emo #emotions #musicproducer #musicproduction #rock #2d #animation #piano #drums #vocals #vocalist #suicide #suicidalthoughts #suicideprevention #depression #depressesd #childhood #teen #teengirls #adulting #adultingishard
