Finding Ourselves in Lola Young’s Flicker of Light

Sometimes, we find ourselves in the stories of others. Listening to Lola Young’s Flicker of Light, I feel an undeniable connection—a reflection of my own chaos, struggles, and resilience. Life has felt like a whirlwind at times, and as I listen to the lyrics, it’s as if I’m hearing pieces of my own journey, the parts of me that never quite fit the mold.

I wasn’t the typical girl with long hair, dreaming of being a princess. I was the girl with short hair and a mind that raced too fast. I often felt like an outsider, trying so hard to be understood, to be loved, but constantly feeling different, misunderstood. But that’s okay—because in the chaos, I found something deeper.

That’s what Lola’s song reminds me of: that flicker of light we all carry, even when life feels dark. It’s the reminder that there’s nothing wrong with the messy, challenging moments we go through. They, too, shall pass, just as they always do. And while I might wake up tomorrow feeling lost or uncertain again, I know I will reach the harbor, safe and sound. Every day is a step toward inner peace, even if it sometimes feels like two steps back.

We’re all on this journey of self-acceptance, of healing, of learning to embrace the parts of ourselves we once rejected. So, if you find yourself struggling today, know that you’re not alone. The storm will pass, and you will find your light again, just as I have, time and time again. Keep trusting, keep going, and always remind yourself—you are enough, even in the messiness.
