You Are

by Nadia Skye

October 20, 2020

Never be afraid to be who you are.

You are beautiful,

And you are so smart.

You are brave and true,

And you are unbreakable.

Never question your self-worth.

Whoever says different

Is just envious

And probably struggling with self-worth, too.

These are words I wish

I had kept in mind

When I was struggling.

Now, I'm giving them to you.

When you are in doubt,

When YOU are struggling,

When you are at your lowest,

Remember these words:

You are the whole world combined.

Never let anyone take that from you.

Born in California, moved to Washington at around age five. Interests: singing, writing, reading, binge-watching shows, sleeping, drawing, eating, being awesome, playing solitaire, perfecting the art of being weird, and cute animals. Dislikes: rats, mice, possums, raccoons, weird smells, bugs, spiders that pop out of nowhere (is fine with spiders in general, though), YARD WORK, not getting good grades, FAILING AT ANYTHING, being in second place unless in a good mood, and getting hurt and/or annoyed. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE NOT HEARD THE BAND 'THE RUNAWAYS,' YOU SHOULD TOTALLY LISTEN TO THEM. THAT IS WHERE JOAN JETT STARTED OFF AND THEIR MUSIC IS TOTALLY FIRE!!!!!!!!!! I recommend these songs by said group: I Love Playing With Fire, Blackmail, Cherry Bomb, You Drive Me Wild, Take It or Leave It, Wait For Me, Queens of Noise, Neon Angels on the Road to Ruin, Wasted, and Born to Be Bad. I only just got into their music in the beginning of this month (I got a CD of their music for my birthday :). Before, I had only known the song Cherry Bomb, which I LOVED and then my dad got me a CD of their music. It's almost all I listen to. That, and a collection of Elvis' best records. Any Way You Want Me, Love Me Tender, and I Want You, I Need You, I Love You are three of my favorite songs by Elvis Presley. I like older music. Elvis was (obviously) pretty big and popular way back, and the Runaways were together from 1975 to 1979. They broke up afterwards, but WOW. The Runways actually weren't all that popular in the U.S. (AM SHOCKED AND DISAPPOINTED) but they were really popular in Europe and Japan. I highly recommend Elvis and the Runways to those who have not listened to either one of their music. Also: Listen to The Righteous Brother's Version of Unchained Melody. If anyone has watched Ghost with Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze (*swoon*), the song that goes 'Oh, my love.. My darling, I've hungered for your touch a long lonely time...'? That's Unchained Melody. Please please PLEASE give all of these songs a listen because they are all soooooooooo good!!! You will not be disappointed, for sure!!! Availability hours: Monday-Friday from 8am - 3pm Weekends: FORGET ABOUT IT, SORRY!!!
