Last night it hit me how much getting older sucks. Cheap words coming from a 15 year old, right? Just hear me out. I was standing outside with my dad and I glanced up at the stars (I promise, no more quotes from earlier) and I realized that I didn't have the time to sit and gaze at them without feeling like I was falling behind my own schedule. Lately, I've felt quite overwhelmed... even though I suppose I shouldn't.
I'm balancing a relationship, 3 classes (one of which is a college course) all on an accelerated pace, karate, practicing technique, kickboxing, and that's before you add in all the errands I run with my family AND the time I take to help my friends along with spending time with my dad and sister. Oh, and let's not forget church and the time I spend hiking and relaxing myself so I don't go insane. I know this sounds like a lot of complaining, but it's not, trust me. If I wasn't satisfied with my life I would be making the necessary changes (to my ability at least). No, I'm very happy with my life... I just wished there was more time. More time to relax, more time to enjoy the little things in life. I wish I had the time to properly spend a few hours with my sister. I wish I had the time to relax outside and stargaze. I wish I had the time to hike for awhile. I wish that I could balance everything out perfectly; so I didn't feel as though my schedule is constantly full... because while I'm happy, that's how I feel. It's a struggle. And I feel bad for not being as available to help people. I feel bad for not having the time because sometimes I forget that it's not my responsibility to keep everyone happy; try as I may. I think that sometimes, I need to step back and realize that I need to be keeping myself happy, too. Because at the end of the day, when I die I'll be dying for myself and no one else- and I'd rather have a life of happiness behind me. "Time is free, but it is priceless. You can't own it, but you can use it. You can't keep it, but you can spend it. Once you've lost it... you can never get it back." "Time is what we want most, yet use the worst." "There is only one thing more precious than our time, and that is who we spend it on." "You will never "find" time for anything. If you want time, you must make it." "If you don't make the time to work on creating the life you want, you're eventually going to be forced to spend a lot of time dealing with a life you don't want." - maddie

I'm incredibly sleepy right now, regardless of it being the middle of the day. I was woken up early and I've been on and off sleeping all day. However, I do want to get some blogs out since I'm currently behind a day, and upon pondering for awhile I decided to search for quotes about the stars! One thing I love about where I live is the fact that on clear nights, you can walk outside and have a gorgeous view of most of the sky. The stars are inumerable and I love it. Some of my best memories, both with friends and family, have occurred while looking up at the stars. I just wish there were more people who took the time to appreciate them, rather than just saying that they're the type of person that loves watching the stars. There's a major difference.
"If people sat outside and looked at the stars each night, I'll bet they'd live a lot differently. When you look into infinity, you realize that there are more important things than what people do all day." "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." "There wouldn't be a sky full of stars if we were all meant to wish on the same one." "Only in the darkness can you see the stars." "I don't want someone who promises me the moon and stars. I want someone who promises to lay out on the grass and watch them with me." "Though my soul may set in darkness, it will rise in perfect light, I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night." "We must unlearn the constellations to see the stars." "They witnessed her destruction, they were left to wonder why, she saw nothing but the darkness, though the stars shone in her eyes. But maybe they'd forgotten, when they failed to see the cracks, that a star's light shines the brightest, when it's starting to collapse." - Maddie Before I go posting quotes, I just wanted to rant really quick because lately I've been noticing a horrifying amount of fake people. No, I'm not playing off of Halloween and costumes- I mean people who act a certain way just to get attention, or to make people believe they are something they aren't. As a very down-to-earth person myself, it always annoys me... hence why I've cut so many people out of my life as of late. I've written about this before though, so I won't bore you with it again.
I just don't understand why people feel the need to be fake! If you aren't happy with who you truly are to the point that you feel you need to masquerade; you may as well go ahead and change who you are fully! Make improvements to yourself so that you as a person change- not just what everyone else sees. If you're going to put the effort into being something you aren't (yet), you may as well benefit from it. In the long run it'll help you because people will know you for who you are, and you won't have to pile up lies and identities to fit in. "Fake people have an image to maintain. Real people don't care." "It is not my job to expose the fake. In due time, they expose themselves." "I hate that some people are judged for being real while others are loved for being fake." "Everything you do for attention is the reason you don't have mine." "Confidence is silent; insecurities are loud." "Everybody isn't your friend. Just because they hang around you and laugh with you doesn't mean they're for you. Just because they say they've got your back, doesn't mean they won't stab you in it. People pretend well. Jealousy sometimes doesn't live far. So know your circle. At the end of the day, real situations expose fake people, so pay attention." - Maddie I just remembered a movie I haven't watched in an incredibly long time; and that's The Wizard Of Oz! As a small child, I recall being afraid of it for some reason but as I've gotten older I appreciate it a lot more. It's a classic movie that I think everyone should see at least once before they die, simply because it's a good-hearted and adventurous family movie. However, if you're more of a reader... the book is just as; if not more, rewarding. Either way, I'll stop carrying on about things I enjoy and instead give you some good quotes from The Wizard Of Oz to ponder about as you go through your day.
"I am convinced that the only people worthy of consideration in this world are the unusual ones. For the common folks are like the leaves of a tree, and live and die unnoticed." "Home is a place we all must find, child. It's not just a place where you eat or sleep. Home is knowing. Knowing your mind, knowing your heart, knowing your courage. If we know ourselves, we're always home, anywhere." "A heart is not judged by how much you love, but by how much you are loved by others." "Some people without brains do an awful lot of talking." "It's not where you go. It's who you meet along the way." "Everything you were looking for was right there with you all along." "The true courage is in facing the danger, even when you are afraid." - Maddie Don't tell me about having respect for those who are working when you don't show common decency to minimum wage workers... I know how to be respectful.
Don't tell me not to yell if you've been yelling for the past twenty minutes. Don't tell me to show you respect if you won't show me any yourself. Don't tell me I'm stupid, clueless, or anything of the sort and then expect me to instruct you in how to do things / fix everything for you. Don't tell me about how to keep my own space clean if your mess is cluttering places the entire family uses. Don't complain about me "harassing" you all day if you ask me to run errands for you and then proceed to harass everyone else yourself. Don't ask me for help and advice if you're only going to tell me that what I told you is wrong and not attempt it in the first place. I'm sorry if any of you take this post in the wrong way. I'm very, very tired of hypocritical people expecting everything to be done in a certain way by everyone around them and then refusing to follow through with it themselves. If I expect something from someone else, then I'll at least try to follow through with it myself. In a way, it's the principle my dad uses with this blog- my sister and I write on it; but to set a good example, he does too. That goes as far as respect. I think I've explained this before but I can honestly never say it enough. I will treat everyone with the same amount of respect until they give me a reason to show them more or less. I'll go as far as to say that I'll even give disrespectful people second and third chances by continuing to show them respect, even if they show none to me. I give chances to see if they'll reciprocate. Some people simply aren't used to being treated nicely and it reflects in their treatment of others. If, after those chances have been given, the person still chooses to be disrespectful? After that point I see no reason to show them any respect after I went out of my way to try and understand them. That's the bottom line and the end of this post, and topic. I really don't have anything more to say. This needs to stop. - Maddie Today's post is actually inspired by YouTube! My procrastination actually paid off for once! Yesterday, I took an EXTREMELY long hike with my boyfriend and dog to pay a friend of our's a visit and we were out essentially all day hiking about. I fell asleep at 8:30, woke up at 7:30 and have essentially been in bed since with very sore legs. With nothing much else to do, I replied to a few emails and watched some YouTube. I was watching a playthrough for a game called Fran Bow. It's and Alice In Wonderland-esq game, and I enjoyed it very much.
It was a 2D horror game with a very dark and intellectual plot. Most of the tasks to be accomplished were by puzzle solving and using logic, and by progressing with dialogue. The dialogue was fantastic and some of what was said truly made me think... and I hope that it makes you readers think too. Below are some of the best quotes plucked from the game. "Death is nothing more than the absence of love. Once you can’t feel love, you die… even if your body still walks." "I still don't know many things, but one thing I do know- between guilt and fear, I chose happiness." "You can’t blame those who are ignorant, but you can’t let ignorance decide. Life will teach you, even through pain and tears." "Be curious, and you'll always be amazed." "Don't be afraid. We always fall. And after the pain... we will always rise." These are unfortunately not all of the quotes that I can remember from the gameplay. I remember there being numerous others, but as I can't directly remember and wouldn't want to incorrectly quote this amazing game I'm going to leave this post here. I'd go back through the videos but there was roughly 7 hours worth of gameplay to watch. In any case, I'd recommend checking out the playthrough of this game. I found that alone to be quite interesting and if I had the correct account, I'd probably buy and play the game myself. Very intriguing. - Maddie It's currently 3:09am. I'm still awake and I'm downstairs at my grandmother's laptop because I haven't been able to sleep for the past hour and I remembered I had a blog to write. Not wanting Dad to get mad at me... here I am. I've been feeling like crap all day, so I've had a lot of thinking time. My back was giving me some issues last night and they carried over into today; along with a killer migraine. Some excederin has taken the edge off but honestly I still feel pretty bad. Today has been interesting, to say the least. I had to help out with a children's halloween party at my karate school, even though most of my time was spent talking with my best friend of 8 years. I had a good time decking myself out in wild SFX makeup nonetheless. I'll include a photo below. I literally have no clue where I was going with this post. I really just wanted an excuse to show off my awesome makeup, honestly... it took me roughly an hour to do and it was a major pain in the ass to clean up after. Liquid latex gets EVERYWHERE. Now that I've had my bragging time, I think I'm going to go get some sleep. I have church to be up for in 5 hours and I'd hate to pass out in church (even though I must say it has happened before). Good night all. Sleep well.
- Maddie Since my dad decided to post photos from the hike taken last weekend, I figured I'd add my photos onto the blog too. Why not. It's beautiful around here currently; with the leaves changing and all... and hikes are truly more enjoyable. There's so much to see and the weather is perfect so you don't over-heat when hiking the trails, which I love. In any case, here are the photos I captured on our hike on Rails To Trails and through the Children's Woods.
I've talked in the past about the beauty of where I live; but today it really hit me. Here in NH, the leaves are already fully changed and it's gorgeous. Just driving down my street alone is like driving through a postcard! I had made a timelapse of my road earlier today, but sadly it won't allow me to post it here. Thankfully, I took a couple of photos as well so I'll post those below. I honestly am so glad that I live in an area that makes me want to be alive when I look outside... no matter the season. Literally every season here is beautiful; particularly fall. The leaves are everywhere and the shades are indescribable. If you've never been to NH... I definitely think you should take a weekend trip to see it some time. I promise you, it is worth it no matter the time. I know this has been a short post.. but honestly; I think the photos themselves should make my point for me. "Within nature lies the cure for humanity." Today is my daughter Madison's 15th birthday. We had a laid back morning, and then she went out with one of her friends for a few hours in the afternoon. At six, we went out to Texas Roadhouse to celebrate. There were five of us tonight since Maddie's boyfriend was also invited. Instead of a long wordy post, here are some of my favorite pictures of Maddie over the years. Enjoy! Tomorrow I will be back with one of my proper rants. Maddie took this picture this morning 2015 Black belt Sparring Champ Happy birthday Munchkin! May you have many more!
Guess what? Today is my sister's birthday! She is 15 and I have a lot more surprises for her. Here is some of them. I'm having a party tonight. There will be a cake, cupcakes, cookies, and lots more. If you are one of my friends, or Aunts and you know were I live hop right over But remember it is tonight.

When I was 1, I was too small to learn anything but my basic motor skills. When I was 2, I was slowly learning to read and speak. When I was 3, I learned that I had a love for karate. When I was 4, I learned that "stupid" was a bad word to be replaced with "silly". When I was 5, I learned that I could be friends with older people (my first friends were 7 and . When I was 6, I learned to be observant. When I was 7, I learned that even those I thought loved me most could lie while smiling at me. When I was 8, I learned to be cautious and protective. I also learned what it means to be an older sister. When I was 9, I learned anger, and to repress emotion until my breaking point. I learned what breakdowns were and how horrible they were. When I was 10, I learned about disappointment. I learned that people say a lot of things, but it doesn't make them true. When I was 11, I learned about loss. I learned about depression. I learned about making hard choices and I learned that you should never go to bed angry at the ones you love. When I was 12, I learned that you never fully can appreciate what you have until it is too late. I learned regret. I learned to mourn in silence so I didn't disrupt my family but I also learned to cry on my dad's shoulder at 3 am. When I was 13, I learned to forgive. I also learned that forgiveness will get you walked all over. I learned about emotionally abusive friendships and I learned that sometimes you can't be concerned about hurting others if they're hurting you more. I learned to truly internalize my depression. I learned to hide from everyone and wallow in sadness, running from my past rather than facing it. I learned that poetry was an outlet for pain. When I was 14, I learned that things can get better. I learned that life doesn't stop moving because shit happens, I learned that you must be the change you wish to see in the world. I learned to embrace my past and use it to help others... and myself. I learned what true friendship looks like and I endured a couple of foolish short-lived heartbreaks. I learned to cope with my depression and combat it. I learned that it is rain that grows flowers, not thunderstorms and that words are often forgiven and seldom forgotten. I learned to control my anger and my attitude and I learned compassion and empathy. Now I'm 15.... and after all I've been through.... I think I have finally learned to be happy. I have learned that life is what it is; it comes and goes and it has ups and downs but if you didn't have downs, you would simply be living your life in a straight line. I've learned now that my thoughts are everything and that a negative mind will get me nowhere. And I'm proud of myself. - maddie You probably think that this post is going to be about hiking, how much I enjoy it, and what went on on my hike of the mountain Saturday. However, that's not what I'd like to talk about. While that would be a great blog topic, today I'm going to be discussing the appreciation of the beauty around us- something that I'm sure most of you regular readers know is talked about frequently on this blog.
For those who weren't aware; Mt. Monadnock is the world's 2nd most climbed mountain, behind Mt. Fuji. It has about 150,000 hikers per year... which is crazy, honestly. I've hiked the mountain 5 times now and it's been crowded every time. A recurring theme with each trip up, however, has been the array of languages I've heard each time! It's crazy how many foreigners climb the mountain. It got me thinking... do these people really travel to here...just to hike? I guess when you live right at the base of the world's second most climbed mountain, you don't really think about it. It's just average for you, something that you see every day. Now don't get me wrong, I try to always appreciate the beauty of what's around me. But it really stunned me how many people there were who certainly weren't from the area. Another thing that my friend and I noticed (not on the mountain, a different time) was that the leaf peepers have started to come out! While waiting in the town center of Temple for his mom to finish work; we saw a few NY tourists taking photos of the scenery around them. This caught us both a bit off-guard... and made us stop and realize that we live in a place that people are willing to travel to see just for the beauty. I think that says something, honestly. I think sometimes when we're so used to the beauty around us; we don't fully appreciate it. We take it for granted because we see it every day, and it's not right. So, readers- I have a challenge for you. I want you to find natural beauty that you may not always appreciate from where you live, and I want you to send them in to my dad's email ([email protected]). I want to see the beauty you find. - Maddie This weekend, I hiked Mt. Monadnock with 2 of my close friends. It took us 6 hours, but we made it up the mountain and regardless of the time it took; it was an awesome trip. I have a good handful of photos, so this post is going to be made up of those alone. My written post will be the next one I write. Anyway, I hope you like the photos. I'll try to put captions on them.
And finally... our before and after photos. Man, that hike took everything out of us! However, I'm extremely proud of all three of us for making it up there alone and getting back down without absolutely dying. Trust me though- we all were feeling it the next day. Anyway, I'll end this post here. My written one will be out tomorrow.
- Maddie Before I launch into my opinion of this phrase... I'd like to clear up a lot of the misunderstandings that surround it. The first time I heard this phrase, I believe I was 8 or 9 and my dad was explaining to me that my family would always be there for me and love me, etc. etc.... and how friends can't always be as trusted. It's an unpopular opinion for the generations that came before me, but I don't stand by the belief that family bonds have to be stronger than friendship. That aside... this is where the misunderstanding of the phrase comes in.
Many people take it as an indicator that family bonds are stronger than mere friendship because of blood ties; but the quote that this saying is derived from is actually "the blood of the covenant is stronger than the water of the womb". It actually means that blood shed in battle would bond soldiers closer than simple genetics... and thus; the quote actually means opposite of what most people will take it as. I'll continue my unpopular opinion. I don't believe that family ties are stronger than friendships at all, in most cases. I am pretty sure I've said this before in previous posts; but if I haven't then I'll re-iterate here. I treat everyone with an equal amount of respect that they deserve until they give me a reason to show them more... or to show them less. Treat others as you wish to be treated; but don't forget to also treat others as they have treated you. Since I live by peace over power, I do try to contain myself a bit from "treating others as they treat me". The psychological damage that some have inflicted onto me is far more than I think I could ever do to anyone regardless of what they had done to me... simply because that's not how I am. I'm a lover, not a fighter... despite popular opinion. To get back to the quote, I have family who I haven't spoken to in years. I have family who make no effort to stay in touch with me... or anyone else. I have family who I've never met and I have family who haven't said more than a few words to me out of obligation. I have family who would sooner argue and gossip about me than have my back if I were to fall. On the other side of the coin; I also have family who I have good relationships with! In fact, the portion of you I'm close with are probably reading this blog post; you know who you are... so I thank you for maintaining a relationship with me and for being there for me. Thank you for the love and support with all that has happened over the years. On the friends side of things, I have many friends who I would consider far closer to me than 95% of my family. I have friends who know me inside out and who I would trust with my life; and I cannot say the same for everyone I'm related to. I don't know. Just because we have blood ties doesn't make you any more or less of a person to me. Your character should speak for itself. Regardless of anything else. "I don't care about whose DNA has re-combined with whose. When everything goes to hell, the people who stand by you without flinching- they are your family." - Maddie Okay, here's the follow-up to the first half of this post! Just to clarify; I'm only quoting the 11 princesses that are in the official Disney collection. If my readers enjoy this; maybe I'll dig out quotes from the other various Disney movies that aren't just princesses- because goodness knows they have some good quotes in them, and were a large part of my childhood as well.
Jasmine "Whatever we may do, you are here for me, and I'll be there for you." "Like so many things; it is not what is outside, but what is inside that counts." Pocahontas "Sometimes, the right path is not the easiest one." "You think the only people who are people, are the people who look and think like you. But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger; you'll learn things you never knew, you never knew." Mulan "The flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all." "Believe you can. Then you will." Tiana "The only way you get what you want in this world is through hard work." "My daddy never did get what he wanted. But he had what he needed. He had love. He never lost sight of what was really important; and neither will I." Rapunzel "And love will not break your heart; but dismiss your fears." "You'll never find anything better if you stay in your comfort zone." Merida "You control your destiny- you don't need magic to do it. And there are no magical shortcuts to solving your problems." "Our fate lies within us. You just have to be brave enough to see it." BONUS: "That's the real trouble with the world; too many people grow up." "Why worry? If you've done the very best you can, worrying won't make it any better." "Growing old is mandatory, but growing up is optional." - Walt Disney I've been thinking about what I'd like to write about for a good portion of my day now, and because of this; I ended up scrolling back through old posts. About a week or two ago my dad and I had both written posts on quotes from Winnie The Pooh- an influential character in both our childhoods. This got me thinking, what else held a special place in my childhood? The immediate answer was disney movies. I used to watch them all the time when I was little and they served as a wholesome form of entertainment for me when I was 6 and 7. To this day, I can still somewhat enjoy watching them with my sister.
Because of this, I've decided to go on a hunt for some quotes from most of the Disney princesses- I'll try to get one from each. Whether I'll succeed or not is beyond me; because I refuse to throw just anything into the mix to satisfy people. Anyway, here we go! Snow White "You're never too old to be young." "When the raindrops come tumbling, remember that you're the one who can fill the world with sunshine." Cinderella "Even miracles take a little time." "Have courage, and be kind." Sleeping Beauty "Even if love is full of thorns, I'd still embrace it- for I know that in between those thorns; there is a rose worth all the pain." "Love will always find a way." Ariel "What makes someone special? I suppose it all depends. It's what's unique in each of us." "I remember all the wonderful times we've had together. They're not things. They're memories." Belle "It's not until you lose everything that you can truly appreciate everything." "A thing must be loved before it is lovable." This post is beginning to get lengthy... and there are many more princesses to get through. Because of this, I will end this post here and proceed to make a part 2. I hope you enjoyed this post and if you have any quotes I've missed; please tell me! - Maddie My mom has been passed for 3 years now... it's crazy to think that I was only 11 when everything happened so fast. Before my mom died, she taught me a lot about being a good person- and I've found she's taught me a lot more since her passing. This post isn't going to be long, or drawn out. It's simply going to be the wisdom I've learned from my mom. Enjoy... hopefully you can incorporate some of this into your own life.
Before Don't judge others based on appearance. Give people a chance and get to know them for who they are. Be kind and accepting. A nice word goes a long way and sometimes you'll never realize the impact you have on someone. Don't see every situation as being the worst. Try to find the good in everything, no matter how bad it may seem. Try your best at whatever you do. Treat others how you would want to be treated. Be honest. After... Don't ever take anything for granted. You never know when you can lose it. You don't know what you have until it's gone. Never hesitate in telling someone how you really feel about them because you DO NOT KNOW how long you have left to do so. Never go to bed angry with someone you care about. Don't waste your time foolishly. If you need help, don't be afraid to ask for it. However... no one can help you if you won't help yourself. Don't blame yourself for the mistakes of others. Choices you make now will affect your future whether you're conscious of it or not. In the end, love is all there is. "And once the storm is over, you won't remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won't even be sure if the storm is really over. But one thing is certain- when you come out of the storm, you won't be the same person that walked in. That's what this storm's all about." - maddie Today's blog post is going to be a bit different than usual; because I'm writing it while I'm out and without a real set topic!!! I have a lot to get done today before my friend comes over, so I figured I'd write this before I even got back to the house so I wouldn't have to deal with TOO much stress. I still have some algebra, another post, AND my vacuuming to take care of.
However, my caffeine addiction knows no bounds and even with this heavy schedule I still asked my dad to take me out for our routine cup of coffee during the day. I really enjoy the coffee; but more than the coffee I enjoy the time spent in the truck with my dad talking about whatever we happen to come up with. Usually, we end up talking about life or some such engrossing topic- in fact; we just started talking about how life could possibly be a computer simulation!!! Talks like these are why my dad and I are so close. He doesn't have any real limits and he never "grew up" in the ways that DON'T matter- so he doesn't mind talking about whatever and making jokes with me. It's pretty awesome, to be honest. I feel like most people say that they "never grew up", but so many say it without knowing what it means. How close are you to your kids, if you have them? Can you relate to them and help them and talk about the world with them? Or would you rather blame them for your own mistakes and categorize them into the generation they were born without choice into. My dad can not only level with me on most things; but he tries to take interest in the things that I'm interested in as well. Hell, he even took up karate to help me train when I was 7; never knowing that he'd enjoy it! He's now a second degree black belt and a sensei. Aside from that; he also hikes with me and my sister, plays xbox with us, watches anime with me, and even tries to fit in with "meme" culture (which can be a mix of embarrassing and amusing to me). He's a great dad and he has a great connection with me... and in today's world, I couldn't be more thankful. - maddie Don't judge this post by its title; that's the first thing I'll say before jumping into this topic. Something that's strange to me, is the lack of songs that are written about addiction. I realize that yes, there are a good handful, but I'm going to break down into specifics. I think it's odd that there's so few songs about addiction affecting families through the parents... particularly since "Seventy six million Americans, about 43% of the U.S. adult population, have been exposed to alcoholism in the family. Almost one in five adult Americans (18%) lived with an alcoholic while growing up". What I've noticed in music is that if addiction is covered; it's almost always directed onto the fathers. It's odd to me that even addiction has gender roles and it disgusts me in a way because I actually know more people who have mothers with addiction problems than fathers. That's besides the point though; everyone's experience is different and I just say that about the music industry's personification of addiction. I'd never discredit anyone of their experience with addiction... then again; I'd never wish it upon anyone to experience addiction within their family. It's a horrible thing and it's terrifying. In any case, for any new readers to this blog... my mom was an alcoholic who suffered from addictive personality disorder and multiple eating disorders. She passed away 3 years ago; a result of her poor life decisions and mental illness but most prominently because of her addiction. Prior to that, her addiction split apart my family and I stood witness to everything she did for my entire life; beginning to understand things at 7. This post is semi-inspired by my dad's post from yesterday. He's written numerous posts about my mom, and I have too- I'm sure of you scroll back enough (or go through the carefully organized categories he's put together) you can piece together my life's story. Due to the gender roles that have been slapped onto addiction in pop culture; I've always found it hard finding music that deals with mothers with addictions. However, recently I've been listening to an artist named NF (I believe I've mentioned a few of his songs in previous posts) and I've found 2 of his songs that actually do cover a very similar situation to mine, Upon doing some research; I discovered that the 2 songs I had found were inspired by his own experience as he had lost his mother to an accidental drug overdose. While my mom (thankfully) was never hooked on any hard drugs; the alcohol was bad enough. I honestly do consider alcohol to be a drug, at the end of the day. In any case, I greatly appreciate the two songs because I find them to be quite relatable, even though the lyrics are pretty heavy. If you aren't into rap, at least read the lyrics. I'll leave a link to the songs below. - maddie Miss You - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtRy75dqzGc How Could You Leave Us - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9tqvCYlZSQ
