I sat in the bland mental hospital room with other patients, who like me, were completely hopeless and miserable with what their lives had dwelled into. Us kids, bored out of our minds and honestly just wishful everyday that it would be our last day, had nothing better to do than sing to pass time. We all began to blurt out "When I Was Your Man" by Bruno Mars. Now, whenever I hear that song, I think about my strength. I wonder how all of those other hopeless kids are doing. I think about how my life had gotten to such a low place. Unlike how I was hopeless at the time that I sang this song, this song gives me hope. Even at my lowest, I survived. I find it eye opening how we all resonate music with different experiences. As this song is about Bruno's regret with his love life decisions, I imagine to many people, this song reminds them of a break up. But to me, this song means something drastically different. Who knows what it means to you?
