Whenever I am having a hard time I play this song and rely on the lyrics and beat to make me feel better. Recently it has helped me deal with the death of my grandpa. He died in March 2021 and the rest of the year was very hard on my family and I. I am reminded that although it is very hard life goes on and you need to enjoy it to the fullest. I think that the purpose of life is to live it.]]> 2022-01-07 00:44:44 UTC https://padlet.com/fpalacios0930/4vd6z8q74v696qlu/wish/1979731292 fpalacios0930 https://padlet.com/fpalacios0930/4vd6z8q74v696qlu/wish/1979738013 ATTACHED SEPERATELY]]> 2022-01-07 00:50:33 UTC https://padlet.com/fpalacios0930/4vd6z8q74v696qlu/wish/1979738013
