“Sleepovers” by Sofija is a self-empowerment anthem. We don’t need validation from someone else once we find it within ourselves. It’s nice to hear compliments, but it’s better to look in the mirror and see them for ourselves. Love can feel like a checklist. Find someone. Check. Make them fall for me. Check. Get compliments. Check. Go to bed and wakeup every morning together. Check. Convince myself I’m actually happy… Check. Love should not be a forced thing or something we strive to accomplish. It should be organic and real. We should spend time with someone because we choose to and not because we feel like we have to to seem relevant or important in the eyes of society, friends, family, and social media. Sofija takes the ultimate independent stance and says that she is good on her own. She won’t settle for less than what she deserves, which is everything, and I think this is a very important lesson for everyone to comprehend. Sure, you can still crave a good conversation or feeling desired, but pretending to feel a connection is lonelier than being alone. The relationship that ultimately matters is the one we have with ourself. We will never spend more time with anyone than ourselves, so that’s the relationship we must nourish and cherish. Some people just aren’t meant for us, and we have to put them to bed… alone.
