They're Gunna Hear me ROAR!

A few nights ago I was driving back to school, I started to ponder about things that have been bothering me about myself. Probably not the healthiest thing to be doing, but I was doing it none the less. The biggest thing that has been bothering me is how introverted I am. I have however noticed that I have been getting a little better. But there are times that I still get thinking so much about what to say, that I shut down. I noticed this the other day for a group presentation, I just mentally shut down and whatever I did I physically could not make myself speak. And it is not that I don’t have something to say, because I do. I have strong opinions, but I just do not want to rub people the wrong way. I have also been a people pleaser, and sometimes, I say what I think people want me to say. I am really going to try from this day forward to say what I feel and think and let people know what I have to say. 

As I continued to drive a song came on that I thought were a bit ironic. It was Roar by Katy Perry. I have included part of the lyrics to show you.

 

I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath
Scared to rock the boat and make a mess
So I sat quietly, agreed politely
I guess that I forgot I had a choice
I let you push me past the breaking point
I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything

You held me down, but I got up
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice, you hear that sound
Like thunder gonna shake the ground
You held me down, but I got up
Get ready cause I’ve had enough
I see it all, I see it now

[Chorus]
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire
Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me ROAR
Louder, louder than a lion
Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me ROAR
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You’re gonna hear me roar

Now I’m floating like a butterfly
Stinging like a bee I earned my stripes
I went from zero, to my own hero
