I often get my ideas for posts from music, and although I listen to a wide variety of music, today the main song I have been listening to is called “Control” by Halsey.
The whole song gives me a spooky vibe, which is great for October, and I love it. The ‘kids’ in the song, or Halsey’s thoughts, ask who is in control?
Being someone who overthinks things and being bipolar, I know the struggle with asking, ‘Am I in control’? It’s hard to try and take control when there is nothing to grab control of.
Also in this song Halsey says , “I paced around for hours on empty. I jumped at the slightest sounds.” I understand this because I know that sometimes we pay so much attention to the things around us, that it is difficult to pay attention to the person on the inside. Which from there she goes into, “And I couldn’t stand the person inside me. I turned all the mirrors around.” When she says this I feel a rock on my chest being lifted. I know that there is other people like me in the room I am sitting in. There are other people that are trying to find themselves and they need help “Turning the mirrors around.”
As a society, we seem to look too much into things. We overthink and question everything. Is it necessary?
