Love Yourself - Justin Bieber (cover by Rae)

So I started my draft for this about a month ago, but didn't get around to finalising until this past weekend. Completing this really changed something in me. It flipped a switch in me and I felt a really strong sense of inner peace thats so far lasted. I actually feel released from a bond that was holding me down for the last couple of months. 

Yeah this piece is rather depressing, and though I the story is influenced by personal experience, I exaggerated some parts to put more emphasis on what i was feeling through my troubles. I think it added a better touch to the style of writing I tried to achieve as well.

Though re-reading and listening these words make me sad, I feel extremely happy and relieved at the same time. God has really worked in my life and I tried to mention that in my writing. I'm also really thankful that He's blessed me with an ability to express myself and relieve stress through writing.

Enjoy :)
