day 4 ; Letter to my 13 year old self // laufey

It would be illegal to not include this one on a playlist celebrating AAPI month! I am sure many people can relate to the feeling of disappointment and doubt when people cannot pronounce their name correctly, especially when they refuse to even try. This song is really encouraging for the AAPI community to embrace their identity despite being labeled as different by the social norms of Western White-dominant cultures. Laufey’s soothing tone adds a layer of comfort to the overall message to the song as well. It’s always uplifting to know that you are not the only one experiencing this!
