“I never meant to be your Part Time Lover, then again I never been a full time man, never thought it’d hurt so bad to see you with another, guess I’m the fool, that you think I am / Wave goodbye as I outgrow the shadow of Peter Pan, it’s time to be a man, don’t close your eyes, don’t say goodnight, don’t take your life, wake up, wake up, I had another nightmare baby won’t you comfort me, and I’ve been lost at sea, outside a house off beachwood avenue, and I made a mess out of the life that lay ahead of me, the clock is ticking faster now, wake up, wake up, it’s time to be a man” PTL / Man - Relient K
These two songs were three years apart in life, and I think that is very indicative of how life actually is. Growth can be interesting in anyone’s life, but especially when it is documented in such a way. Life now tends to document everything even if/when you aren’t on social media alot you probably are on someone else’s. That can make your mistakes or mishaps so evident and cause you to carry them so in a negative way when really they are just leading to some great revelation in your life. Growing up can be a long and arduous process and I feel like these two songs really demonstrate that together. Photo by @maggiethecrazycatlady
