It was awesome he's cool
He thought no one loved him that's what luggage means
He is amazing I wish he was my brother his parents treeded him like luggage but then when he grows up he is amazing singer
1. I think he felt like he was just somebody's luggage because he started going to a a foster homes really early, he probably didn't know what was going on in till he was older. Also because he never really had a proper home in till he was 8 so it was kinda like he was somebody luggage.
For what jaycob said he "was just somebody's luggage" that he was going to family after family until he was stopped by to people who adopted both him and his sister
I think its because he was in and out of foster home and felt like he didn't belong to anywhere before his mom adopted him.
He thought no one loved him that's what luggage means
He was sad and thought he had know one until his parents picked him up at the foster home.
-when your somebody's luggage they it feels like somebody is carrying you around but not really caring for you just using you. I think this is how Jacob felt because he would be at one home, and he would never know when somebody is going to come pick him up, and take him to a different home.
I think he feels like luggage because when you go on a trip, you take luggage. When you get back, you ditch the luggage. You stop using it. He must feel like that. He goes to one foster home, and when they're finished with him, he goes to the next one, then he has to leave them too. When he got adopted, he was finally loved and finally became stationary, something that stays no matter how old it gets. He is supported now.
When jacob probably means that when he felt like he was somebody's luggage he probably meant they didn't need him, he wasn't loved
When the life gets overwhelming, I usually play music. Like piano, flute, and read a book.
I think what Jacob meant when he said he felt like he was just someone's "luggage" was he was just getting shipped off to foster home after foster home and never had someone who was his actual parents until he finally found his true parents.
Jacobs life story.
I think Jacob felt like a luggage because he was moving foster homes a lot. He thought nobody loved him because of that.
When my sisters and brothers makes me so mad I just go outside and go on my iPad with my mom do same math sheets and I need to take to my mom why I'm so mad at my brothers and sisters
He felt alone because his parents left him that's what lugged mean :) .
When I'm overwhelmed I read, write or get lost in an audiobook (preferably on Greek mythology).
I eat pizza......
When life gets overwhelming, I go on my laptop or play with my cat.
The way I help cope with my overwhelming life moments is either store it all up until judo, or play video games to get thing of my mind, or I will build something to get my mind working on something that is not as stressful.
That song was about how he just kept waiting for some one to adopt him and in the end all that patience paid of.
When ever I'm mad at my brother or just mad then I go to my room or basement and listen to music
He felt like he was just going from place to place but not getting anywhere. The significance is that when you're sad of down you have someone to support you but he didn't. So he talked about being lonely and having no one to love him. Since music is a way to show your feelings so that is what he turned to when he was in the foster home.
When I'm overwhelmed I do something that makes me happy or I go outside where I am not controlled by someone else and free. I draw or watch YouTube videos so I feel happy and positive. This helps me because I feel like someone is trying to cheer me up.
