I’m my teen years I definitely did.

I was going through an abusive relationship and could heavily relate to her music. Each new album that came out just happened to personally relate to my then current life stage. I connected to her music because her lyricism was different than other artists at the time in the most unconventional way. It felt honest and real.

But I think in a way it led me to romanticize my fucked up life to the point where I became someone who I was not meant to be. I would do stupid and reckless things because I wanted to live my life with what i interpreted as a Lana music video. Thankfully i’ve been able to grow up and realize that her songs weren’t meant to romanticize or glamorize dark things but it was her way of interpreting her own experiences and making them into art that I can now appreciate instead of trying to naively emulate.

If all those things are true to who you are then by all means live your truth but do it for you and no one else.
