Hey everyone, my name is David Epps; I am a college student majoring in Computer Science/Marketing, and I am also a singer/songwriter. This is the ending to my original song titled, "Let You Go".


The song I'll be breaking down in this article is a song I wrote about everyone, including myself, holding on to things that have been holding them back for too long, and prolonging their happiness. Whether the thing holding them back is a person, a job, an ideology, a lack of money, or really anything else is irrelevant, because it can be literally anything.

Excerpt from the song:

"You can't love me, I don't love me, no one loves me"

There comes a point in life when a realization occurs, and it's so clear that so many opportunities in life were missed, because of whatever it was that was holding them back. When a person isn't happy with their situation, how can they expect to, or how can anyone expect them to enhance anyone else's situation.

Excerpt from the song:

"You don't know me, no, not like I do, so... You can't love me, no.

I think I am right almost all the time, all you do is fight.

I make choices based on how I'm feeling, so..

I think I'm going to let you go"

This is the chorus and main idea of the song. When someone is unhappy, and they've been unhappy for years, then that's how everyone knows them, and it's normal. The only person that really knows they're unhappy is the actual person. When that person tries to make a change in order to be happy, others may criticize, fight with them, tell them they're doing the wrong thing, or even tell them they're crazy. But once that realization is found, and the person finally decides it's time to be happy, and lets go of the fear everyone has instilled in them, that person is unstoppable.

Thanks for reading! If you enjoyed it, please share it!

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.
