Open Letter: Why Is Positive Change Traumatic?
Dear those of you making positive changes in your life but feeling super confused because you feel worse,
Sadcore Sundays: “Til it Happens to You” by Lady Gaga
Lady Gaga released in September her song “Til It Happens To You” about the effects of trauma featuring an accurate video of rape on college campuses. If this topic is a trigger for you, I’d recommend not listening to the song or watching the video. If not, this song can be very healing and a useful tool to rid of the hushed stigma behind sexual assault and rape. The music video is just a preview of her full length movie on the topic called “The Hunting Ground” available for purchase here. Again, do not watch the video if this is a trigger. Share with others that may not be informed on the topic.

Sadcore Sundays: “Candy Says” by The Velvet Underground
Lyrics:
Candy says I’ve come to hate my body and all that it requires in this world Candy says I’d like to know completely what others so discreetly talk about I’m gonna watch the blue birds fly over my shoulder I’m gonna watch them pass me by Maybe when I’m older What do you think I’d see If I could walk away from me Candy says I hate the quiet places that cause the smallest taste of what will be Candy says I hate the big decisions that cause endless revisions in my mind I’m gonna watch the blue birds fly over my shoulder I’m gonna watch them pass me by Maybe when I’m older What do you think I’d see If I could walk away from me
That’s Google’s definition. We’re defining “sadcore” as anything you listen to when you’re sad. Sadcore Sundays are meant for you to indulge in your sad feels for a moment, but then let it go and move on. Send in your favorite sadcore songs to strangeisbeauty@gmail.com
