I was like 15 when this song came out. I remember I was going through a hard transition during that time in my life, and this song literally saved my life from suicide. A few things I was going through was Peer pressure, depression, anxiety, finding my identity in Christ on my own, bullying in school, rejection from girls at the time, etc. I still struggle with depression and anxiety to this day, but I’ve learned healthier ways to combat it as I continue to get older. I find this very interesting considering my wife today is a licensed clinical counselor.
