Idk why my mom got upset at me for making songs with lines like “This cruel world” or “The darkness of the skies”
I just want some catharisis¹ okay, what’s wrong with that?
(¹Am I even using this word correctly?)
I think my parents are just boring and doesn’t appreciate art lol…
Not at all.
I’d try to find a way to explore those feelings with them. Maybe share some things I’ve seen or experienced that make me feel that way.
And then end with something that brings us both joy together.
The lesson should be that negative feelings are real and valid even when they’re overwhelming, and that there is a path through them while still accepting them as real and a part of you. And that there’s still joy to be found on the other side.
Strength doesn’t mean you don’t feel pain. It means you accept it and still define your life as you choose to.
So, yeah… Your catharsis is valid as fuck, my man.
