ASSIGNMENT #2
I first got introduced to Bright Eyes by my friend Steph. She sent me a song about a month or two ago and I became addicted ever since. I love the song "I will be grateful for this day". I feel like I chose it because of the way it sounds, but the lyrics are good too i guess. I dont know, it's just amazing. I just feel like some of the lines are powerful. Like, "I had a friend who changed his name but couldn't change himself. Never quite figured out how to do with what life had dealt. He put a needle in his arm to calm his handsome hell. Who would have imagined it? Could've worked out so well. Now he's a shape that moves like echoes through my empty room." This passage is about a guy who didn't like himself so he injected himself with drugs and overdosed. Prompt: Have you ever felt you had to change yourself for other people?

Actually i have changed myself to fit in with other people. When i was younger i was a tomboy but one afternoon, after school my sister made fun of me how i didn't have any friends and how i had a lot of boyfriend. so the next day i went to school with a dress on and tried to talk to the girls in my class about barbies, carebear, strawberry shortcake, hair and dresses
ok, i rememeber in elementary school i had to change myself a little bit so that i could fit in. but most of the changes came naturally because i was changing as a person anyways. for example, when i came to edina in 4th grade my parents saw changes in me right away. i wanted to dress different, cut my hair different and i even began to talk like my new friends. but i also think that part of that was just me growing and adapting to my surroundings.
When I was in elementary school and middle school, there was pressure to always have the right clothes or the right stuff. I think that people change over time but that changing for the wrong reasons is bad
