If My Life Were A Disney Soundtrack
Sometimes I like to put together playlists on Spotifty. Recently I wondered, if my life had a soundtrack, what would it be? Then I went completely blank.
After thinking on it, I figured the best place for me to start would be with songs from Disney movies, because it’s simply what popped in my head first.
Childhood Era:
When I was a kid I had a mother who was, honestly, mentally abusive. My life started with a villain. She had so many horror stories about life, and how I should basically never live it, and only trust her, etc. If she had her way I would have been locked in a tower… I think you see where this is going.
The Teen Years:
Belle (a fellow book lover) wandering around town, lost in her own little world, dreaming of a life that was different. This was very much me, I often walked around town, daydreaming. People thinking I’m strange, not being a part of any crowd, my head in the clouds, nose stuck in a book. By my late teens I even had my own version of Gaston, a creep who was obsessed with me.
Enter The Romantic Villain:
Back when I was in my early 20s, and was far too trusting, and thought I had found someone special. That love was deceiving, just like the one Anna found in Frozen. So, this song seems to fit that vibe.
Becoming Me:
While Moana didn’t struggle with a bad life, like I did, this song has a vibe to it that I could feel. She struggled with staying in the life she knew, or wanting to break free and find her own way. And, while it’s disguised as concern, her father was a control freak (mine was as well). After my struggles in life I decided to break free, and move away from what I had always known. It was time to find my own adventures, and finally live MY life.
Fulfilling Dreams:
Almost There is the closest thing I could think of to represent me starting out on my own, and trying to make a living going freelance with content creation, and trying to build a community. I had a dream, and after going through all kinds of ups and downs, I was working hard to fulfill that dream.
The Love Song
Another kind of love song finds its way into my life, but it’s more fitting, and true. Megara was sassy, independent, and afraid to fall in love. Something I came to identify with starting in my late 20s, until I did eventually meet someone special.
I wonder what the future will hold?
