Girl Pow-R’s new single, “So New,” is an inspiring song about embarking on a new journey after facing numerous challenges. The uplifting track inspires listeners by allowing them to understand the many phases of life.
We all face different challenges throughout life, and Girl Pow-R reminds us of that. Many children across Canada face many health-related challenges and must face reality at a young age. Girl Pow-R strongly supports Sick Kids hospital and reminds young children that they can still restart their lives and create something beautiful despite health-related challenges.
Sick Kids’ motto is “healthier children, a better world.” The next generation is our future, and giving young children a chance at life allows for increased success within our society. Many children in sick kids’ hospitals are uncertain about their futures. Those suffering from diseases, disorders, and injuries must grow up fast as they must consider life and death at a young age. It can be terrifying, but despite those challenges, it’s possible to overcome those challenges by fighting fear and making the best of what you can.
“So New” highlights the nostalgia those who suffer from diseases, disorders, and injuries may go through. There is a bittersweetness from before health-related challenges appeared in their lives, “I don’t wanna end this ride. I like when you’re by my side. All of the years we’ve shared. My mind always takes me back there”. Those whose lives suddenly change due to their health may have difficulty accepting their current position; they may live in the past and regret that they weren’t more grateful for their lives.
Reality may hit these individuals, and they may change into an “all or nothing” mentality. They may want to put themselves out there and do more significantly than they have previously. This change of headspace is described through lyrics such as “Driving down this lane. Nothing lasts forever. But I have no shame. From our time together”. Those who experience this sudden change know that their lives have changed, but letting their health-related challenges discourage them is not ideal. They can have a new beginning, and perhaps it will be accompanied by continuous challenges, but just because their health is causing them to struggle does not mean that they have to throw away their future just because of a chance they may not get better.
It can be difficult to face battles concerning health-related challenges because you may have to leave those you care so deeply about behind. Despite the uncertainty in the future, you must remind yourself that there is support all around you and that you do not have to deal with your struggles alone. “Taking the next step. On our journey forward. Thanks to those I’ve met. I won’t forget your words” moving forwards can be challenging, but many of your loved ones will support you and offer you unconditional love in your fight. As you continue down this path, do not forget that love surrounds you. Remind yourself of those who care deeply about you during times of trouble.
Despite your health-related challenges, you can still accomplish great things. Do not be discouraged because you live with health-related challenges; a new beginning is on the horizon, and you can make the best of what you have.
