"I still remember the world from the eyes of a child/Slowly those feelings were clouded by what I know now... I still remember the sun always warm on my back/Somehow it seems colder now."
I never have related to lyrics in such a deep fashion. Whenever I hear them, I feel the words deep in my soul. When I was a young child, I was completely content with the world. That all changed as I grew into a teenager. I don't feel like I'm a real person. I feel like a ghost. Whenever I try to talk to people about it, it's shut down as being "teenage angst," but it isn't. It was with me before puberty hit me, and it's will me after high school. Now, it scares people. They can't discount it for being teenage angst anymore, so they discount the feelings entirely. They shut me down if I try to talk about it, and they make me feel like I'm in the wrong for making them feel uncomfortable by trying to talk about it, even though they were the ones who started asking me about it. My parents believe counseling is overrated, and they won't let me go.

Distract your self
ReplyWe've all been heavily conditioned by society to grow up too fast and act a certain way, follow rules and laws, be adults, follow a particular life path etc. That's not living! Break the mould and find your own way, your own path.
If those people choose to follow that way of life, let them. Those aren't the people you need in your life. Find people who see the world differently. Because being an adult doesn't necessarily mean you need to forget about your past, or mean that it's wrong let loose and act silly, playful and childish once in a while.
Be spontaneous! You don't need to be "adulting" 24/7. And watch, those people who have an opinion will be sad and miserable in their lives and wish they could lighten up and have more fun too.
ReplyThis means you need simplicity. Maybe try coloring to Beethoven.
