'When Morissette uttered the lyrics, 'All I really want is some peace, man,' I vividly remember crying because I desperately yearned for it at that age.'

"When Morissette uttered the lyrics, 'All I really want is some peace, man,' I vividly remember crying because I desperately yearned for it at that age."Picture it: Kingston,

“All I Really Want” opened the album, and the lyrics spoke to me, a sexually confused teenager who had been recently diagnosed with clinical depression. I was 12 and at this point in my life, it was the first time I ever told my family that I wanted to commit suicide. I wasn’t readily accepted by my peers or extended family, and that never gave me a sense that my life mattered.

Later in the album, when “Ironic” begins with the lyrics, “An old man turned 98,” I was sent back in time to younger me, the one who had that unhealthy obsession with “Little Mermaid.” It was a full-circle moment because I vividly recalled the video I saw on MTV all those years ago. I was filled with a much-needed sense of happiness. A feeling that I rarely felt as a kid. I smiled.

Hearing this song years later reminded me of how far I’ve come and how my best experiences have outshined the darkest days.
