It was a cold Fall as Emmy can remember it. He was tall, handsome and had a voice. Funny too, well at least she thought. He just did it for her you know? She had fallen for him harder then she had realized. She almost gave up all her friends for him. She gave up more then she thought she would, she loved him, so she let him. He had a hug grip on her. She's never fallen in love before, so how could she see what she was getting into. She thought he loved her too. Thought he was going to be the one.
So now you have to understand, Emmy didn't expect to react this way to heartbreak. She was kind of left shattered. How can an evil like love destroy ha like that? She decided that was enough. She kind of built a crazy side to her. Over sexualized and flirty. Taking down every guy she came across. Wrapping them around her finger and destroying them. It's what she wanted to be. Life built her that way. She was a bit psycho and made sad inside but she was always smiling and laughing, being that crazy girl everyone loved to go to for a thrill.
Emmy's tried and tried to be good, no matter what she does its like she fails. She's had chance after chance to redeem herself, but she can't be helped. She's had guys try to help her and see the light, but no one's really been able to get through to her. Right now she's lost and afraid, but she's tired of crying and tired of being mad. She's just gonna continue to be her crazy over sexualized self until she can. Someone asked her one day, why are you bad? She replied "Well honey, once you're done being sad there's only two ways you can be!"

Secrets
Tell me what you want to hear
Something that will light those ears
Sick of all the insincere
I'm gonna give all my secrets away
Honestly, I'm a really shy person. I don't communicate much with people and I hate being exposed in front of the crowd. I'm actually a good-looking person but I still don't have the guts. I don't know but I feel like I was being judged in a bad way every time I'm doing something worth doing like playing sports, showing off talents, etc. I'm also a studious kid. I like studying and don't like being bothered during my study time. I used to be so ignorant at everything. I kinda like that setup at first. It really makes me have a peaceful atmosphere cause no one's bothering me. Suddenly, I decided to listen to music and that's when I started realizing how big the world is, how much I could do if only I tried to embrace the world and change my very boring life. So I began to make a move by having friends at last and joining different activities in school. I stopped worrying of what people will think about me. As long as I'm in the right course of my life, I'll be fine. No more worries, no more Secrets

Wide Awake
Thunder rumbling
Castles crumbling
I am trying to hold on
God knows that I tried
Seeing the bright side
But I'm not blind anymore
I'm wide awake
(continuation)......
I feel like I'm finally free from a very dark place and currently enjoying the happiness in life. Maybe at first I was coward to show my flaws but I ended up thinking "well, I'm just a human and humans are not perfect. Every one has their own flaws and I'm one of them so why bother?". Yes it is. I'm finally realizing the truth about life. We must accept our flaws and live our lives as best as we can. No matter how not perfect we are, we can still have someone that will accept us of what we are and who we are. The only thing we should do is believe. Just be Wide Awake

Daylight
We knew this day would come, we knew it all along
How did it come so fast?
This is our last night but it's late
And I'm trying not to sleep
'Cause I know, when I wake
I will have to slip away
(continuation)...........
Yes I know. I finally have a better life and I should stay with it. But as a human, all those happiness, all those days we have with our loved ones will actually end at some point and we will never ever stop it to happen. Right, I'm talking about death. Death is the last and the most sorrowful but memorable part of a human existence. Many of us fear death and I asked "why?". We probably don't like death because we still want to experience many things in life with our loved ones. I feel the same way like that. I used to hate death. But I realized "I'm still alive, so why I'm bothered about this?". What I mean is that as long as we're still alive, we can still have our chances of being happy in life and do the things we want. Life is short so we must do the best out of it. It's as simple as that. So when the time comes and you'll never ever see the Daylight again, you'll be ready

PARADISE IS YOU - LA ROUX
The palm trees make it feel like a paradise
But without you here, there's nothin' nice
Cause in your eyes
That's my paradise
When all the roads ahead of me stop lookin' new
My paradise is you, my paradise is you
When everything I know is slippin' out of view
My paradise is you, my paradise is you
You, My heaven is you
MUSHABOOM - FEIST
I've got a man to stick it out
And make a home from a rented house
And we'll collect the moments one by one
I guess that's how the future's done
ARMY - ELLIE GOULDING
Dark times, you can always find the bright side
I'm amazed by the things that you would sacrifice
Just to be there for me
How you cringe when you sing out of tune
And yeah it's everything
So don't change a thing
We both know what they say about us
But they don't stand a chance because
When I'm with you
I'm standing with an army
The common theme here between these songs is that of love. I tried doing my Me Trinity on other things but my mind kept racing back to this theme. Yesterday, my boyfriend left for a deployment over seas with the military and I already miss him so much. I've never been apart from him for more than two days in the 2-1/2 years I've been with him. For me to be at my house and to not have anyone to talk to or to hold, to joke around with, to laugh and love with is so hard for me right now. These are all songs that I think about when I think about him, and thinking of him is the most important thing to me right now.

perseverance
The first song of my trinity is Christina Aguilera's "Fighter". Honestly speaking, I am a person who does not give up easily. When I plan to achieve something in real life, I will commit to my plan and stick with it till the end. I do not give up easily and will continue to press on through the hard times. I guess this is because I have gone through A LOT of such experiences and learned that sometimes, the only way out is to persevere and keep going.
performing
Other than the fact that I'm a huge Meghan stan, the main reason why I chose this song to represent me is because I really love dancing. I believe that I can express myself the best through dance and rhythm. I'm quite a bad dancer though () but I just can't help but break out into some moves when I'm feeling good, excited, worried whatever. I LOVE expressing myself through dancing!
positivity
The last song of my trinity is this cute K-pop song, which could possibly be my favorite K-pop song ever. To me, K-pop is where everything is bright, fun and full of life. Of course, there are sappy ballads in K-pop too but I tend to ignore them. I'm a glass-half-full person and the type of the person that will wake up and tell himself that today will be a good day. People always told me that I always have a positive outlook on life. I guess I just like to let nature take its course and take up whatever challenges that are thrown my way. This song is such a positive and uplifting song, it basically describes my life on a day-to-day basis.

dddddddddddddddddddddddddddd444dddd
Children, usually, idolize superheroes and superheroines. They see themselves as the ultimate do-gooder. Either with the strength and sense of responsibility as Superman or, more commonly on ATRL lol, fighting evil by moonlight winning love by daylight. I never did. My favorite parts were watching the evil team get an upper hand and destroying the home base of the heroes. Maybe I am the villain in my own story.
"Pray for yourself one time [...]
feeling like topanga, patty mayonnaise kinda average with Queen qualities"
Villains are motivated by their self-interests and ideals. But is that a bad thing? I mean who else is gonna give you the motivation and determination to get **** done? I learned early on that you have to be able to count on yourself, and have confidence first before anything else. Also one of my superpowers is Synesthesia and I see violet when it plays :eyes:.
"**** ain't right I'm not hearin it
Never ****in ever ****in nearin it
Cuz dudes ain't **** but balls and dicks"
Raunchy, deprived of any decency, and borderline illegal. Yes, a regular Tuesday afternoon for esteemed judge Hug, but the same can be said about this rap gem. Miracle Gro's message is pretty self-explanatory: **** BOYS GET MONEY! Who tf needs "true love" when you can have a stiff drink and a warm mouth? I mean, the song is just fun and a feminist anthem; two words that describe me perfectly. Moreover, any self-respecting villainess has to indulge in few, good, pounding session a week, amirite ladies?
"Some days I'm a super bitch
Up to my old tricks
but it wont last forever
Next day I'm your super girl"
Lastly, is this BOP! Keeps Getting Better relates with the duality in myself and in comic book villains. Countless times have rivals teamed up to defeat a bigger threat. Catwoman, comics most iconic deadly vixen, has helped out other women in need. Yes, I can be rude, abrasive, mean, malicious, inconsiderate and the devil incarnate, but it won't last forever. I may be motivated by my own narcissistic tendencies, but I know how to show that softer side when the situation asks for it. It's true you can catch more flies with honey, than with vinegar, but sometimes I like the taste.

Satan
Call Me Crazy Well how do i introduce my say, well just call me crazy... I can be all over place most of the time and kooky, with how i act.. this song is so upbeat as if she's embracing her craziness just like me i also embrace my crazyness...i'm carefree and don't give a **** what people think
Bottle You Up This is quite a slower song and Zendaya expresses her love for someone and how she would bottle them up. I'm a people person and i love everyone and i would absolutely do anything for the ones i love
SatanJenny From the Block "don't be fooled by the rocks that got" I'll always remeber where i came from how i grew up and the people around me.just because something big happenes to me dosen't mean i'll foget about my roots and friends i'll always stay 100% loyal to them
tupac: california love
The way I grew up was kind of different from the typical family. Firstly, all of my siblings, and close older cousins were a good decade older than I was. For them, they were firmly rooted in the hip hop and R&B that brilliantly defined the '90s decade. As a result, from an early age I gravitated towards "urban" music and it really was my favourite. Growing up non-white in a white privileged society is an interesting experience, and it can feel disheartening to not have much representation of yourself in media. Even though I am not a member of the Black community, I think the strong voices of marginalized groups really spoke to me and my family. It gave us an outlet to enjoy music and ended up giving me a voice and an identity. This song was chosen because Tupac was a big example of this, and this song in particular gives me great nostalgia.
arcade fire: no cars go
Although hip hop and R&B remained a main love of mine, as I grew older and reached the older years of elementary school, i started to explore music on my own. This was my evolution phase in which I bought my first album - Kanye West's Late Registration which coincided with a personal shift towards alternative rock and indie music. Arcade Fire became a symbolic representation of this shift in which I cared more about how I listened to music and gained that sense of adventure in music. They were essentially the catalyst towards me expanding my horizons and listening to different styles and genres.
f(x): shadow
That leaves us with where I'm at right now. Pop music has always been integral to my upbringing, but as you can tell I tended to gravitate to music that was on the parameters of "pop". This is most evident with where I'm at right now, where I've almost abandoned Western pop in favour for the superior styles of the East. K-Pop in particular has emerged as a style that I really connect with. Its shifting what we think about pop music and delivering the bops and interesting sounds. f(x) are my favourites because they are able to take risks while also experimenting and pushing boundaries in pop. We don't see that as significantly in the mainstream West. K-Pop has also created unique questions for me with my own identity and acted as a vessel for me to connect with Asian cultures and experience myself in popular music. Who knows what's next from here!

SPEEZY - TRINITY - ME
(THE SEARCHER)
Jason Derulo - BROKE
I am a person who deeply value relationships and money. It comes a point in my life where I want a real lover or a true friend instead of a person whose in love with my money. Being broke doesn't being poor, just not having your own money. So I'd rather be broke and find someone to love me for who I am and cares for me like I care for them. Same things go for friends, I want friends that arent here for my money.
(THE PLANNER)
Ariana Grande - BREAK YOUR HEART RIGHT BACK
Nothing more heart wrenching than having someone you know treat you terrible in the public eye. A song to represent my passion of karma and revenge is this one. Yes, revenge is good but sometimes I let karma run its. Revenge plays a big part in my life because it makes me strategize what I'm going to do to that person (which never happens). I to hold a spot in my heart for seeking revenge on people who done me wrong in life. After thinking of seeking payback I just let revenge run its course on its own and sit back behind the screen and look at their downfall while I'm succeeding.
(THE BUILDER)
Miranda Cosgrove - BEAUTIFUL MESS
I grow as a person, I learn from my mistakes and the way people treat me. This song represents how people make me a mess, a wreck or hopeless. In the period of when I'm feeling like that, I make myself mentally stronger and better than the last time. I just dont dwell in the past about what people said, instead I work on myself. No matter how hard I try, I will probably be a mess in someones eyes but beautiful in my own

This is probably the cheesiest opening to a trinity but the idea I had is meaningful songs I heard throughout my life. With We Are One the message of being supported by family and friends even if you’re at your worst I think was a key idea I that I was raised with throughout most of my childhood.
Song Of My Teenage Years
Paparazzi
This song I still hold dear to my heart mostly because it really got me back into Pop Music and shaped many of my music tastes and interests today. Not to mention it made me more in touch with my homosexuality because of looking up Lady Gaga and the culture surrounding her. Probably the first time I felt really connected with an artist (since Aaliyah). Without Paparazzi, I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t even be on ATRL.
Song Of My Present Self
The Blacker The Berry
This song ultimately signals my awareness of events surrounding my life. I think as a sharp contrast to the more peaceful childhood song which was about standing together and we are one and all that jazz, this song is about the racial divide and the history of oppression and stereotypes. With my perspective of being a black adult male in America this song ultimately represent my heritage and feelings on related matters.
Bloomers
Drake - Over My Dead Body
Drake is my favorite artist and has been for some time. Take Care was the album when I really got into his music; in fact, as soon as I heard the opening piano on Over My Dead Body, Take Care's opener, I knew nothing was the same any more. I loved the luxurious sound of the song and how it just seemed to unravel at its own pace. Nobody really seemed to be doing anything similar to him at the time. There was just something I loved about the song. It's pretty straight-forward, he addresses those that had written him off and questioned if he would still be around by his second album, but he sounded so self-assured and confident which I connected to on my first listen and still connect to.
I feel like I can be equally as goofy and corny as Drake in my day-to-day, and can get caught in my feelings like him, but I haven't always been comfortable talking about myself or what I'm feeling. I feel like when I first heard this song, it was someone that seemed to be talking right to me. I saw a lot of myself in the song when I heard it for the first time, and really connected with it, Take Care, and Drake in general. I remember thinking something along the lines of "well, if he's doing this introspection in rap, and being upfront about how he's feeling. I guess I can do the same." As time has gone on, my music taste has changed, I've changed, but I can always go back to Take Care, and this song in particular, and it will always feel like my first time hearing it.
Jackson Browne - The Pretender
This guy is probably the artist that means the most to me. While Drake's music has been there for me, as I have become an adult, Jackson Browne's music has always been there for me. My mom has always been a huge fan, and I grew up hearing his music all the time. I probably know every song and lyric just from hearing him so much. His stuff will always make me think of growing up and will always be something of a rock for me. In fact, I'm named after the guy. My parents were such big fans (my mom more than my dad) of the guy, and liked his name so much, that he was the inspiration for my name. No complaints from me, I love his nostalgic classic, sun-dabbled Southern California sound. I wouldn't be me without him.
Weird Al - Bedrock Anthem
This spot was trickier for me. I feel like Drake represents my inner goofiness and sentimentality and is just someone I can relate to. While Jackson Browne really introduced me to music, and has helped shape my tastes, and is someone I listen to while feeling nostalgic. They are both two important people for me, as important as a musician can be anyway, and have helped me through some tough times. Weird Al is a curveball, but after thinking about it, he's been just as important. My first album was his Alapalooza. I bought it, because my best friend was a huge fan and I loved Bedrock Anthem. I really think this song helped me develop a sense of humor about things. I think I may come across as serious, but I'm always finding the jokes in everything. I really think that Weird Al represents my sense of humor well. Goofy, occasionally parodying, but always good natured and well-meaning.
