Song for Summerfest Week One Challenge. Part 2: What is one of your favorite summertime memories from your youth?Answer:Ok this is gonna be a little strange, but here it goes. This didn't technically happen in my youth, but it feels like that since I have grown so much in the last year. Last spring I was suffering a medical issue that resulted in the loss of my job. I was very stressed and eventually became depressed. I did and said some things I regret very deeply. This song makes me think of my battle with depression and people not understanding that I couldn't control my emotions very well during this time. It also reminds me of that dark place I was in and how I got out of it. Though it was a struggle to overcome the depression I did so without any medication and while coping with the loss of my mother. This song just makes me remember how bad it was and how good I have it now. So its a little bit of a strange song to associate with a happy memory, but to me it serves as a reminder of sorts. When I hear this song I know how good things are now and how bad I never want them to be again.
