IMAGE: From the 'Roar' music video - a bedraggled Katy Perry looks up in awe as suddenly, she sees the light.

TEXT: In the latter half of 2013, RL decided to mess me up quite a bit. Right at the time everything was plummeting to new depths of awfulness, this song became literally unavoidable. And I hated it, because duh, of course I do, I despise everything Katy Perry is and does.

After a while, it was firmly stuck in my brain even during the silent hours. And after a couple of days of this, I had an epiphany. All of a sudden, this annoying earworm became my inspiration to get up, brush off the dust - I'd had enough. Thus I resolved to get myself together and get my life back to normal.

In practical terms I don't know if this resolution really affected anything; but mentally/emotionally I felt a whole lot better (and life did improve a short while later).

Over a year later, I'm finally ready to admit (though not to anyone who knows me IRL) that I've come to love this song - regardless of whether or not it is objectively any good, or what I think of Katy Perry and her music in general.

...I've also started trying to convince myself that it's well beyond time I grow up and stop being such a judgemental ass over things like musical tastes.
