Doubling up again… my own ‘Song of the Day‘ and Song Lyric Sunday for which this week’s theme is… sugar/candy.
I guess I’m sort of pushing it with this one. No sugar or candy… just sweet.
I miss my younger days… the relative lack of responsibility… the freedom to do pretty much whatever I wanted… the perky boobs. Okay, I still have nice boobs. But the rest? Freedom…? Minimal responsibility…? I fucking wish! No, seriously. I wish for that all the time. And that’s one wish I know isn’t coming true.
Unless time travel is real.
I wish I’d appreciated it more at the time. Just let myself remain naive… live in the moment. But you know me… I was busy worrying about what was coming next. I started overthinking everything… just like I still do to this very day.
And I’m still trying to quit…
Sweet Disposition | The Temper Trap
Sweet disposition
Never too soon
Oh, reckless abandon
Like no one’s watching you
A moment, a love, a dream, aloud
A kiss, a cry, our rights, our wrongs
A moment, a love, a dream, aloud
A moment, a love, a dream, aloud
So stay there
‘Cause I’ll be coming over
And while our blood’s still young
It’s so young, it runs
And won’t stop til it’s over
Won’t stop to surrender
Songs of desperation
I played them for you
A moment, a love, a dream, aloud
A kiss, a cry, our rights, our wrongs
A moment, a love, a dream, aloud
A moment, a love, a dream, aloud
So stay there
‘Cause I’ll be coming over
And while our blood’s still young
It’s so young, it runs
And won’t stop til it’s over
Won’t stop to surrender
I tell this to my boys all the time. Enjoy being a kid, and be in no rush to grow up. Adulting is way overrated. 😊

Well, mine were too busy partying. Guess they thought it would be like that for me too. I suppose if I chose to ignore responsibility, much the way they did, it could’ve been. 😏

My parents weren’t the partying kind at all… but somehow, I didn’t get the advice I wish I had gotten. Not from anyone! Things are so different now. Although I’d rather go back to then. Even if I had to go back as an adult and not actually de-age. (Not a word, I know…)

I don’t know. But I think all the time about how much simpler things were back then… and I wish I’d taken more advantage of it. Now I long for it… Send me back to 1980-ish.

Time travel would be great but I’m not sure that I would want to go back to younger days. I was basically “born as an adult” and was always responsible so I have don’t know what “no responsibility” is anyways…But I get it.

It was never really ‘no responsibility’… but I didn’t have the day-to-day stress I have now…

Yeah, I get it. If I had to choose between my kid stress and adult stress, I would choose the latter. But everyone’s experience is different. I’ll DM you tomorrow…oops, later today since it’s already tomorrow! 🙂
