I found this song not to long after I tried to end my life a little over a year ago. It was the first time having bipolar that a song made me feel seen. I cried the entire day and listened to it over and over.

Today I value my life so much. This song means so much to me and so does #Ren

I found this song one night I could not stop crying. I think I cried for three and a half hours straight. I found this song and it just poured out of me.

This song brought that out of me.

I always doubted myself. I found this song when I needed to come out of my shell more to help people when I started working in a busy NYC emergency room. In a weird way this song gave me confidence that what I have to say matters. That this youngest of six had important things to say and to say them with real meaning and conviction.

I use to be a union delegate and a damn good one too when this song came out it would always inspire me to think about all I have overcome. I have mental illness, then it was unmedicated and I am also on the spectrum. Our family grew up in.a pretty rough part of Brooklyn in the 80's.

A few years eailer I had worked on the Obama campaign for my Union and at the time I was kinda feeling myself for the first time in my life. I loved helping people. The line "I used to be the kid that no one cared about. That's why you have to keep screamin' 'til they hear you out" hit me so hard.

As a white kid growing up in the neighborhood I did the topic of race was going to surface early on. I never understood why they picked on me so much. I was just like them.

Every ass kicking I took was worth it because I am now color blind.

I love this song so much and it reminds me of the blessing of being raised among other cultures and languages.

A song from the 1970s that you like or means something to you.

Okay I am cheating. the Song itself is 1979, the year I was born.

Ladies and gentleman The Smashing Pumpkins

This song always makes my heart feel free.
