Who You Are- The song that gives me hope

It's okay not to be okay.

I stare at my reflection in the mirror:
"Why am I doing this to myself?"
Losing my mind on a tiny error,
I nearly left the real me on the shelf.
No, no, no, no, no...

Don't lose who you are in the blur of the stars!
Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing,
It's okay not to be okay.
Sometimes it's hard to follow your heart.
Tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising,
Just be true to who you are!

Brushing my hair, do I look perfect?
I forgot what to do to fit the mold, yeah!
The more I try the less it's working, yeah
'Cause everything inside me screams
No, no, no, no, no...

Don't lose who you are in the blur of the stars!
Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing,
It's okay not to be okay.
Sometimes it's hard to follow your heart.
But tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising,
There's nothing wrong with who you are!

Yes, no's, egos, fake shows, like WHOA!
Just go, and leave me alone!
Real talk, real life, good love, goodnight,
With a smile, that's my home!
That's my home, no...

No, no, no, no, no...
Don't lose who you are in the blur of the stars!
Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing,
It's okay not to be okay...
Sometimes it's hard to follow your heart.
Tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising,
Just be true to who you are!
Yeah yeah yeah

It’s 2:51 p.m. The ambiance is so cold, quiet and serene. I am with Hapi. We’re the only two left in the office. I am situated a few distances from the PC where Hapi is using.

After a moment of silence, he started to play an unfamiliar song being sang by the one and only Jessie J. I was totally stunned with the lyrics as I carefully listened to the music. I stood up, sat beside Hapi, and stared closely to Jessie J’s performance at London. She was absolutely amazing! The way she looked, the way she delivered her song… perfectly awesome!

I recalled if I was able to hear her song before but unfortunately, that was the only time I heard it. And I was totally in love with the lyrics. Maybe because, I can relate to it. My situation this time is definitely awful. I look so unhappy and stressed and tired. No matter what I do, I closely get affected. This sentiment can't really resist from getting inside my system. I’m in deep pain. I’m still thinking of how I could actually get rid of this.

Jessie J’s music indeed helped me. It suites how I feel and it motivates me to do what is according to her lyrics. I’ve been a fan of her, and I guess I’ll be listing her on my favorite Hollywood singers, next to Taylor Swift.

I can’t explain how her song got my attention momentarily. It’s just perfect. The song is truly perfect for an imperfect person like me. I will try to be who I am, with the perception of knowing how to act and react. Thanks to you, Jessie J. ♥
