We started to cry on the day we were born, and stopped crying after we felt the warmth from our mother besides us. We were growing up day by day. We went to school, made friends, and learned to communicate with others, which made us feel like everything around us was going smooth, like nothing bad would ever happen. We had a place to live, a place to learn, a place to play, and especially a place to whisper to ourselves - our own room. The more we grow the more we learn, and also the more we realize. When we reach the world outside we finally realize that the world isn't as easy as we thought. As teenagers, we feel annoyed by everything, stressed from our family, our work, and from the people around us. Everything around is frustrating. At the time we realize that nothing on earth is perfect. We realize that our ‘luxury’ birthday presents (gaming PC, smart phone, PS4, a bike, or a lot of pretty clothes, etc…) from our beloved parents are earned from their sweat, blood and tears. However, now somewhere in the house, there are the arguments between us and our parents because of our stubborn heads, and childish ways. Or now we might be asking ourselves "how is that stranger doing?" ...that person who we used to think would be our best friend forever. We had a good life in the early years, and now it is the time to learn and to face the reality: our parents divorce, we fight with classmates, we are judged by others, we fail a class, we do drugs, etc. All kinds of things can make us feel down and depressed, and that’s why we have to become stronger and become a fighter in life. We may make mistakes, but there is nothing to be worried about, because we can learn and move forward. Also, we have to learn that the most important thing is to hold back our anger and stay calm in every situation. We can enjoy our imperfect life every single moment, even though it may be full of hardships, and turn it into a perfectly imperfect life.
This photo is showing a pawn, which represents our early life and the king represents what we would deserve after the hardship.
I love this song because of the instruments. It is very catchy and sounds happy...like that perfectly imperfect life.
