The Journey XIV - Death Of A Hero

I’ve loved this song ever since it came out in 2017, and have always wanted to create to it. I would keep coming back to it as well, mostly in situations in which I needed to remind myself of my own power.
Aggression is a word that is usually negatively connotated. However I have always found my aggressive side helpful in perpetuating boundaries. Anger is good. It works as a sign post that indicates where a line has been crossed. When it has been crossed multiple times, it is good and healthy to let that anger out. Sometimes the only thing you can do is let your fire burn everything down, before something else pulls *you* down. It’s protection and self preservation.
Sometimes you’ve dwelled on sadness for too long that the only way forward is to set things on fire so you can rise from the ashes and start over.
It’s like youre alchemizing yourself or giving yourself an upgrade, with a guarantee that there’s no way back.
People always think cutting things off is a cold and heartless process. What most people dont see though is the pain and strife that you have endured and carried around with you that has led you to the cutting-off part. Anger is transformed pain. Directed at protecting yourself from that which has pained you. So let go of it.

Anyway, making this was incredibly fun. And of course it wouldn’t be The Journey if it didn’t involve dramatic lip syncing and basically me pretending I’m the main character in my very own music video. I liiiive for this sh**
I know most people dont watch 3 minute videos on here, so if you did and you also made it through this caption, thank you 💋
