THE OLDER I GET.

Todays blog is about a song that I found out only recently and I am so ashamed of getting to know this song so late because I haven't heard a song that makes so much sense in a while. The name of the song is OLDER by Sasha Alex Sloan.

Today I will be focusing on the very simple yet deep and meaningful paragraph of that song which is:

“ The older I get, the more that I see

My parents aren't heroes, they're just like me

And loving is hard it don’t always work

You just try your best not tot get hurt

I used to be mad but now I know sometimes its better to let someone go

It just hadn't hit me yet

The older I get”

I don’t think every child will understand this but you know who will understand this the best? US. We are currently at that stage of life where this makes sense to us more than anything else. When she says “ my parents aren't heroes they're just like me” it has no intention to demean them. How I understand that sentence is that our parents are not very different from us. They too have been through this phase and they are aware of the many things that happens to and around a teen at this age or time of life. They too have learnt from mistakes and fallbacks and so will we. They have taught us so much but we always think that every decision we make by ourselves is wrong but its not so. Doing things by yourself, being scared, falling down, being paranoid of trying again but still going for it is how we learn about life. That’s how they did. Every stage we are going through right now they have been through that too. So, NO. they are just like us.

LOVE? Well I think we all are mature enough to know that it isn't easy and needs sacrifice and compromise and sometimes the only thing that love means is “LETTING GO” either because you love them but they don’t or because they are not worthy of the love you are giving them. I think the whole process of loving someone is just enjoying every moment you spend with them, being there for them, looking at them like they are the best thing that every happened to you and just praying to god that you don’t fall out of love with each other and never ever hurt each other. Sometimes we end up loving someone because we just really hate the idea of being alone. Sometimes we don’t love the person. We just love the idea of love. LOVE IS CONFUSING and BEAUTIFUL at the same time and THE OLDER YOU GET THE MORE YOU EXPERIERNCE THAT AND THE MORE YOU KNOW.

Thank you for reading todays blog! See you next week.
