An Inspiration

This song by my favorite rock band, Breaking Benjamin, inspired me this week when I was feeling down as, even though I have listened to this song many times, I paid more attention to the lyrics and they really spoke to me more than usual. “Stripped away, we rise above it all, forgotten and betrayed. We all fall down, the pain goes on. No better than before, still broken and afraid” followed by “As I fight for one last prayer, I keep holding on. No love to believe in. As I drag the Devil down, I will stand alone. No longer defeated” definitely helped my mood combined with the fact that I already know the song very well and can easily sing along to it while driving in the car or sitting in my room. This was never my favorite song from this album, but I’m glad that I listened to it when I did as it undoubtedly inspired me to be better and stay strong while moving past my insecurities and depression.

“The greatest teacher, failure is.” -Yoda (Kennedy, 2017)

Of all the great quotes from recent movies, this quote from one of my favorite movies of the last few years, “Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi,” has stuck with me more than any other and whenever I feel like a failure I remember this quote and see how I can learn from the situation and better myself.
