BROKEN
“Little girl don’t be so blue
I know what you’re going through
Don’t let it beat you up.
Hitten walls and getting scars
Only makes you who you are
Only makes you who you are.
No matter how much your heart is aching
There is beauty in the breaking.”
“When you’re broken, in a million little pieces
And you’re trying, but you can’t hold on anymore
Every tear falls down for a reason
Don’t you stop believing in yourself
When you’re broken.”
Sang by: Lindsey Haun

I put two quotes from the same song because I thought the chorus needed to be up there with my original quote too. I think that at some point in everyone’s lives they hear a song that really affects them. It can be a sad song that affects them emotionally or even a happy song that makes them smile every time they hear it. This is a really hard thing for me to talk about but I am going to go for it.
After I had my son 3 months ago I went into a deep depression. I chose to cry instead of doing what I could to fix it. It was one of those points in your lives when everything and I mean everything went wrong. My son was sick as a newborn, I had a 1 year old daughter all over the place, my boyfriend couldn’t get his ass off the couch and help me and I was paying all the bills. I am a very stressful person so all of that really put me over the edge. While taking my kids to my parent’s house for the night my iPod hit this song and everything changed. It was like all the weight on my shoulders was lifted. In all reality nothing changed but because my way of thinking changed everything changed. I still get a little stressed out now and then. Especially with all the work in this class but I am now in control and doing great. Seriously if you have never heard this song you really need to listen to it.
This song talks about being broken inside and out. There is no way that I would have ever though there would be beauty in my heart breaking but after listening to this song and thinking about what it really means I can now understand how there could be beauty there. It is an amazing song and she does an amazing job singing it. I am speechless on how to explain everything about it. I hope everyone that reads this post will listen to it.

Hi, Carmen. Thanks for sharing your personal reaction to this song. I think music is very important for inspiring us to carry on despite difficulties. It reminds us that we are strong and can do what needs to be done. I know postpartum depression is a serious condition and am relieved that you have been able to turn things around. Well done! Nancy
