I was doomscrolling reels yesterday and I came across one that had someone dancing to a song talking about how it hits different when you’re an adult. I listened to it again today and immediately put it on my “Inspirational” Playlist. The song is “Bitch” by Meredith Brooks. I rocked to this song when I was in high school and that person was right! It does hit different now that I’m an adult! I just took a trip to PetSmart and did my usual rage listening to my playlist in the car on the way and that song had me slapping the steering wheel. How could I not? With lyrics like,
“I’m a bitch, I’m a lover, I’m a child, I’m a mother, I’m a sinner, I’m a saint, I do not feel ashamed, I’m your hell, I’m your dream, I’m nothing in between”
I am so many things, and I am not ashamed of anything that I am.
I know I didn’t relate to it this hard when I was a teenager.
Man! This playlist of mine has turned into a little bit of inspiration with songs like “You Raise Me Up” by Josh Groban and Christian songs that used to be sung at Mass, to now mostly girl power, be proud of yourself, use your voice kind of songs. I almost feel like snapping my fingers and yelling “You go girl!”
Anybody have other songs that should go on my playlist? I’m sure I’m forgetting a lot.
