Song that changed your life: Oasis - Champagne Supernova(listen now) (lyrics)
The story behind it:
Not so long ago, walking into a room of more than 2 people would have made me physically sick. I would get so nervous and so self conscious at the thought of it, that my life was unbearable. Going to college became impossible because I couldn't walk into a class full of people if I was late. I'd always been known as the quiet one which was fine when I was younger, but it started getting in the way as I got older. I didn't know what to do about my shyness. I was fine with friends and family. But with any other group I was a wreck and it was crippling me.
Around the height of my anxiety I was watching comic relief and I remember crying when a song was preformed becaus it was so heartfelt. The next day it was the talking point at school and it gave me the opportunity to talk to someone properly. That someone was a teacher and she helped to change my entire outlook on life. She worked with me for months after our initial chat. Helping me to see I could be more confident and boosting my self esteem. If I had never chatted with her about the performance of that song, I would still be shy today. I can still be very quiet and I'm not great amongst crowds, but I'm now a lot more confident within myself.
