Have your own personal experiences colored how you interpreted something?

A song?
A book?
A movie?
A painting?

I cried during Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The story line about Kylo Ren and Han Solo felt like an allegory about losing a child to drug addiction.

I also cried while watching Frozen, thinking about my schizophrenic sister.

I’m guessing that’s not how most people interpreted these two movies. Ha.

I can’t even count the number of crappy songs that suddenly took on new meaning after a break-up.
