P!nk – Perfect

Posted on April 30, 2011 by MyClandestineLife

I liked the song, but it was getting overplayed. Then I watched the video. (I wish the first 12 seconds of the video didn’t exist…I didn’t need to see that.)

Reading or watching things very rarely makes me cry, but this video did. I have never cried because of watching a music video: this was a very first for me.

I can relate either directly or vicariously to everything that went on in the video. Friends who have given themselves to the wrong person. Being teased as a child. Foster siblings who have been abused. Feeling like a failure. Not being “thin enough.” Friends using drugs to lose weight. Friend caught stealing and thrown out. Carving my arms, legs, wrists, etc. Tears of blood in the water. Finally getting fed up and changing my appearance.

Look how you want to look. Follow your passion. Dress how you want to dress. Be with who you want to be with. Live your life.
