... Read moreWriting and sharing your first song can be a deeply personal and therapeutic experience. The song "Strangers Know How To Break Me" vividly expresses the struggle of emotional vulnerability, where external voices and distance exacerbate inner doubts and fears. It's common for first songs to be long, as they often reflect a flood of raw emotions that the creator wants to capture fully. From my own experience, pouring feelings into music or poetry can help clarify complex emotions, especially when dealing with heartache or uncertainty. The use of imagery in the lyrics—like waiting for a name to light the screen, or shadows whispering doubts—beautifully conveys the silent battles many face in their minds. Many listeners find solace in realizing they are not alone in these experiences. If you ever feel like your anxious thoughts are isolating you, music and creative expression can serve as a bridge connecting you to others. Moreover, the line "I hate that strangers know how to break me" reflects a universal feeling of being vulnerable to unknown people or circumstances, which resonates in today’s digital age where interactions can sometimes be distant yet deeply impactful. Sharing such work online not only invites feedback but can help build a supportive community. For those writing your first song or poem: don’t worry about length; focus instead on authenticity and emotional honesty. Ask for feedback, but most importantly, use your art as a way to process and express your truth. As this piece shows, even the most painful emotions can be transformed into something meaningful and shared, helping both creator and audience to heal and grow.

Why Strangers?
Something I realized while building my online business… sometimes the people who support you the most are the ones who didn’t even know you before. And that’s the power of social media—it connects you with people who see your vision, not just your past. Have you experienced this too? #onlin
