“You can save me from the way I tend to be.”
– Frank Turner, musician
Many people experience a default state that may not be the way they want to be. Perhaps you tend to envision worst-case scenarios about situations in your life or struggle with negative self-talk.
In his song “The Way I Tend to Be,” musician Frank Turner touches on darkness, but the tone shifts to a positive when reflecting on a person who “shines like truth” and “saves [him] from the way [he] tends to be.” Perhaps there’s a person in your life who boosts you, too. Or, better yet, maybe you can “save” yourself from who you tend to be. Turner, who has publicly discussed his struggles with depression, finds music as a catharsis—creating it and listening to it.
Who or what can you turn to for a spirit and energy boost when you need it?
