From Being 15 to Now

At the beginning of freshman year I had no idea what to expect. All I knew was that the year before I was at the top and now starting high school I was at the bottom. Being a senior now and the things I’ve learned from past experiences being here at school one of the key things of advice that I’d give any upcoming freshman is to not overthink things life’s too short and high school doesn’t last forever it’s only 4 years and then you have the rest of your life to look forward to.

I'm 15 for a moment
Caught in between 10 and 20
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are

I'm 22 for a moment
And she feels better than ever
And we're on fire
Making our way back from Mars

15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got a hundred years to live

I'm 33 for a moment
Still the man, but you see I'm a "they"
A kid on the way, babe.
A family on my mind

I'm 45 for a moment
The sea is high
And I'm heading into a crisis
Chasing the years of my life

I know this is more than 1 line or verse that this is able half the song. But the words really make sense in what they’re saying. Don’t get hung up on your age and worrying about the choices you’re making now because you have your whole life to look forward to and chances for you to fail and succeed.

Going back to being 15 for a moment, it’s not set in stone your fate in the chances you make in life that because you’ve either made a really good decision or a bad one that you have to live with it for the rest of your life. No, you have the option of whether or not you want to live with those consequences.
