I hated myself from a young age. In elementary school, a girl who sat behind me cut 6 inches of my hair off. I remember seeing a bundle of my hair on the ground and her laughing hysterically along with several other kids. She was my only "friend" so when it happened, I was destroyed. Then as the years went on, I would start to hear comments like "you're fat," "you're ugly," "kill yourself." This song came on Pandora on my way to my second day of high school and when I heard it, I felt sad. But I felt relieved. I was alone for many years and now there's this artist that actually emphasizes that she doesn't like herself sometimes. It really got to me. I found the confidence to approach people. I would eventually meet some of the closest friends I have now. I occasionally see the girl who cut my hair and we're way past it. I grew so much since then and this song reminds me of that.
