Does this song resonate with me ?
This song does resonate with me because it about a girl who just returned home from college (Sandford) to her neighborhood of Washington Heights. She's under intense pressure and is struggling with failure, she dropped out and lost her scholarship and now has to face her community and family with the truth. I can definitely resonate with the 2 things the guilt and shame she feels to the people who believed in her. She was known for the one who made it out or the stare of the neighborhood but she has to admit that she failed. I feel like that sometimes because there were expectations I had for myself when I graduated high school but some of those things happened sooner in my life or not at all. But even though I feel that shame my family always reminds me I'm exactly where I need to be. And the vulnerability and the breathing. Her moments when she pauses and said "just breathe" is an attempt to calm herself down and to admit that she doesn't have anything all together right now but I need to chill. I tend to do that or I will call my mother when I feel that my anxiety is going up or I feel like I cant get over anything and I need to emotionally let it go. I feel that pressure she is expressing also through sports I feel like not that I have failed the team when I got hurt but it was a time I could not attribute to my team and I felt useless., like a failure to myself.

Here is a link to a clip from high school musical and its troy the main character and while he was shooting shots in the gym, Gabriela this girl who is interested in comes in and they talk and they move on. The dad walks in and he is clearly upset because his son is like the school prodigy, and he emotions that the team wont win their next game if Troy doesn't take his mind off Gabriela. And he even emphasizes that he is more than just a boy, the father tells him that hes something special, and to make a long story short they both disagreed on troy singing and playing basketball ad hes father is very disappointed
