Noticeable artists are becoming famous off songs that have catchy choruses of partying, weed, or a good time, but I think the main thing that distinguishes a good artist from a great one is the message that the singer delivers. Alessia Cara’s popular new single, “Scars To Make You Beautiful” is memorable since it's a song with a great rhythm and nice beat conveying a powerful message.

The music video shows that we should not hide behind our scars,because whatever scars we have are what makes us different. Many people tell us to be afraid of what is different but differences are memorable. And Alessias new music video shows her audience that they should never be afraid to be themselves. The song's main focus is about self acceptance, and how hard it is nowadays for one person to love themselves fully. The song is called “Scars to your beautiful” since many men and women in society today believe that they must change who they are by altering their body or switching up the way the look to fit into society's expectations.

Certain quotes from the song stand out more than others. Quotes such as “No better you than the you that you are." For example, the music video focuses on the lives of many different people from transgender teens, to young adult cancer or a female with an eating disorder. All these different characters are exposed in the video to represent that whatever your situation or story you are beautiful in your own way and you must embrace your own beauty.


Whether internal or external scars, visible or invisible scars, these are the things that set you apart from one another, these are the things that make you beautiful.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
