Breathe Me — Sia

Chapter: Child of the Storm

Playlist: The Seeker's Lessons

Song: Sia - Breathe Me

There are songs that do not just play.

They spill.

This one has always felt like a confession.

A quiet plea from someone who learned to hold everything inside because there was no room for her feelings anywhere else.

Breathe Me reminds me of that part of my story.

The years when I was the strong one.

The quiet one.

The one who did not break, even when I should have been allowed to.

If you were ever the child who needed comfort and learned to give it instead, this one is for you.
