If your life were a movie, what would its theme song be?

My initial answer was "Shawshank" by the Royston Club, since it's how I start "eventful" mornings as a kind of theme, but since I wrote about it already- I'll pick something else. I think Big Thief's "Born For Loving You" is my theme song. I think the genres indie and folk sum me up pretty well, and Big Thief is a band that falls directly into that. I also like to think I am full of love, and try to fill my life with love as well. I try my best to input my love into many aspects of my life, not to ignore the hate but make it manageable- especially in the kind of world we live in now with a major empathy crisis. This includes loving my friends, my hobbies, school, art, everything and anything. A favorite quote of mine; "I know love exists because I am full of it". It's all cringey and awfully "hippie" of me, but love wins in so many ways. I want nothing more than to love the life I make for myself. :)
