Meaning Behind the Song:

I initally started to write this song thinking about how when looking to walk into a new church I would feel all eyes looking and me, wondering if they were judging me or if it was just me judging myself, while also being afraid to speak and share my story for fear of judgment. Then I began thinking about how that applies to many situations. As I listened to the lyrics of the songs produced I didn't connect with my own lyrics as much and initally didn't like my lyrics to this song, but then I began to think of how it felt walking the through the halls of middle school or high school. I began to think of what it was like for me as a kid walking those halls, then I also pictured my daughter's and what they might feel or any younger girl might feel as they may feel insecure or afraid to speak, afraid to share their stories out of fear and fear of being judged. I think we all do this at times, we hesitate to speak, because we don't want to be judged and simply just want to be liked, but too often we are our own worst critics and judge ourselves, before even others do, so we don't speak and share our stories, because we assume others see us sometimes we see ourselves, when we see ourselves as not good enough or inadequate. We are at times afraid that others see us just as that, not good enough or inadequate. That others see the same flaws that we see in ourselves.
