A staple of my childhood was watching animated movies, particularly Disney movies. This particular song, along with The Little Mermaid's Part of Your World, best represent that period of my life. But the reason I chose this over Part of Your World is because of the memories this song brings. Pocahontas is one of the movies I remember watching a lot more than the other Disney Renaissance films, bar The Little Mermaid. I particularly remember in third grade, when our class participated in a Thanksgiving celebration, and Colors of the Wind was one of the songs we sang. I remember being such a diva and wanting to improv on this song and outsing everyone. I was 8 back then. I miss those days a lot, but songs like this bring me back to those days.
Teenagehood
My teenage years were dominated by my increased love for music, as well as the fact that I came out of my shell and became more social. I went to almost all of my junior high and high school dances from 8th grade onward. This song came out during my freshman year and it has become my all time favorite party song. The remixed intro the DJs gave this song was fire and I remember having great memories getting into the middle of dance circles and dancing to this song as well as dancing to this song in a dance off when 97.1 AMP Radio came to our school during Sprolic Week (week before Spring Break). It was played all the way up to my senior year. So if there is any song that is a staple of my teenage years, it's this one.
ADULTHOOD
I'm 21 now, will be 22 in January. Graduating high school, starting college, and simply just trying to survive in the real world is something that can be hard to transition in. Even more so when you have Aspergers, no matter how social you are. In addition, when you're so well known at school and it's hard to not be happy, it makes it hard to let people know when you're actually not. These past 3 years since high school ended, I've focused more on not bottling up emotions and reaching out to someone if I need to, as well as letting go of the big name I had with all the kids I went to school with. That's a special thing that only people that knew me know. And I've worked on improving my relationship with my Mom, as well as keeping things neutral with my Dad. I'm maturing, even if I don't come across like that online. Bottom line, this song represents that I'm growing up, maturing, becoming more independent and other things.
