the playlist of my life
All of the songs on this playlist perfectly depict who I am or was at some point in my life. I grew up listening to Duran Duran and any and all “old school” music. With my parents being from South Central LA, listening to Snoop Dogg, Eminem and Micheal Jackson was a cultural thing. Those artists are a part of my identity as a kid who was raised with strong South Central LA influences. Tying that in combination with Elvis Crespo, Selena, and Shakira I was born with the strong realization that I am a strong Mexican American who happened to be raised in the ghetto. Moving to Ascension by Phil Wickham I have to pay homage to 13 years of my life as a kid who went to private catholic school and had an identity crisis as soon as I wasn’t forced to attend church every week. However I soon became the punk pop child I was meant to be, and realized my sexuality thanks to Hayley Kiyoko. The last four songs however are my reasons to live, my wanderlust is uncontrollable, to make the world mine and conquer everything, to live life to the fullest is all I want and those last three are the songs that will play in the coming of age teen movie about my life and the impact I will leave on this world.
