Songs of my Life by Anastasia Fedchenko

1. Avril Lavigne - Skater boy

The most beautiful memories are from my childhood. Then, I am a little girl who still did not understand anything in this world, was as happy as ever. My uncle and I turned on the music and danced in his room under the skater boy all day. He dragged me into his clothes: shirt, tie, shorts of marvellous shape. We had fun, really. He gave me a fictional microphone, and for a minute I was Avril Lavigne.
2. One Direction - Live while we`re young
My friend and I were then obsessed with One Direction. I have had a couple of their discs, a bunch of posters, a magazine, scrapbooks. I was drunk by their music, lyrics and their own. We lived while we were young.
3. Green day - Boulevard of broken dreams
When you study at school, and you know that nobody likes you, the feeling of loneliness rises noticeably. I am surrounded by people who make fun of you, but you tolerate it until the meaning of existence appears in your school life. Well, at least you think so at first. You read the same books, magazines, as him. You listen to the same music. I had it with Green Day. He then looked at me differently. It is strange that I wanted to get his glance, but did not want it to be mutual. He listened to music in the classroom, I sat down to him, and then an invisible connection was created. He fell in love with me, I know for sure. I was a strange person. This was my first failed love, the two of us were left with nothing.
4. Little Mix - Secret love song
Time flies with the speed of the SpaceX rocket. Here I am already in my mid twentieth with another person, but still remembering the one I had loved for a long time. The guy is standing beside me and confesses his love, saying what an idiot he was and how much pain he brought me. I didn’t count on anything, and I thought we’d leave now, but then the Secret love song turned on and he got on one knee and said: “But I love you anyway, will you marry me?.”
5. Lana del Ray - Blue Jeans
It's true, we met on a dating site. When you are desperate and you can’t find anything in your life, you go there and, like in Tinder, you flip through whom you like or not. We dated for a long time, and before his proposal to become my husband. But it is so strange when I came to his house, he turned on the music and we sat on the old sofa and listened to Lana del Ray for ages. I was already bored by his playlist, but he is a special person in my life, and I tolerated his musical taste. PS But it’s definitely not true that I hated Lana Del Ray. She is my love, but when blue jeans is on repeat you definitely will hate it.
6. One direction - Story of my life
This is really the story of my life. I am an unsuccessful lover, but a successful mother and friend. Let them hate me, but I love them, all of them. And if I am destined to die, like everyone else, then I choose this song.
