16 Throwback Songs That Gave Childhood Me Some Big Feelings

YouTube

Flashback to 2009. You're back in middle school. It's 10 p.m. on a school night and you're listening to music on your iPod Nano (or iPod Shuffle/iPod Touch). You're laying in bed, screaming your heart out. You're sad, and your heart is broken... or is it?

I can't count how many times back then I listened to songs, pretending as though I related to the artists. I don't even know how many times I sat there, angry at boys or the world, belting my whole heart and soul into songs by Kelly Clarkson, Avril Lavigne, and Jordin Sparks.

It's funny looking back, actually having experienced real heartbreak and feeling bitter at the world for outcomes beyond my control. Back then, it was just little ol' me, experiencing some false big feelings. Now, it's still me, experiencing big feelings I wish I didn't have to feel.

Here are 15 songs I screamed my heart and soul into, and I bet you did too.

"Impossible" - Shontelle

"Unfaithful" - Rihanna

"What Hurts The Most" - Rascal Flats

"Pocketful of Sunshine" - Natasha Bedingfield

"One Step At a Time" - Jordin Sparks

"If I Die Young" - The Band Perry

"Rolling in the Deep" - Adele

"Too Little Too Late" - JoJo

"Fucking Perfect" - P!nk

"Breakaway" - Kelly Clarkson

"Sk8er Boi" - Avril Lavigne

"Tattoo" - Jordin Sparks

"I Never Told You" - Colbie Caillat

"Girlfriend" - Avril Lavigne

"Behind These Hazel Eyes" - Kelly Clarkson

"No Air" - Jordin Sparks

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

Thank you for all that you do for me
Thank you for working through disagreements with me
Thank you for always supporting me
I appreciate you more than words can express
You have helped me grow and become a better person
I can't wait to see where life takes us next
I promise to cherish every moment with you
Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
