Welcome to My Life
It has been quite a busy week for me.. Weeks actually. I would like to apologize to Teacher Julie for not being able to answer the previous questions. This time, I felt like I should answer right away before the next time I blink I’m already receiving the next question. 
The question for this week is:
What comes to your mind and what do you feel about the lyrics of the song “Welcome to My Life”?
I am a lyrics person. It has been a habit of mine to make sure I listen to the lyrics whenever I can, and in most cases, I tend to appreciate the song due to its lyrics and melody. When “Welcome to My Life” by Simple Plan first hit the airwaves – MTV – I immediately connected with it. It felt like somebody actually understood me. Ironic isn’t it? But somehow it made me say, “yeah! Welcome to my life!”
I may not exactly have a “hard childhood” as I had a decent roof above my head, food to eat, relatives who cared and loved me. But what chewed on me greatly was the fact that I grew up in a broken home. Some people thought “she is so lucky she has her grandmother” but people will NEVER understand how hard it was growing up without your folks. Sure, my mom visited me once, twice, or thrice a year, but the fact is, every time my mom came to visit, I just wish I could run and hide – get away. More so when my father finally tried to contact me.
