Song: Be As You Are

Artist: Mike Posner

Album (year): At Night, Alone (2016)

Notable Lyric: "There are moments when you fall to the ground but you are stronger than you feel you are now"

This song has become one of my favourites of 2017. In a year where I went through an emotional roller-coaster in terms of uncertainty, lack of self-esteem, insecurity, and loss of direction this was one of the first songs that would be played on those bad days.

Headphones on. Volume max. Outside world switched off.

It helped me to remember the importance of loving who you are and appreciating the difficult times because they are there to help you learn. I'm not ashamed to say that "at age 22, I cried to my mother".

This is my first post and I wanted the first #SOTD to be one that inspired me to start this page.

I hope that this song helps you as much as it has helped me.
