I’m literally crying right now, because this is really an ironic song about growing up, because I don’t want to grow up, but I’m ready to move on. Everybody’s changing, and I’m not ready to. Some nights, it’s easier than others. I take this song and just tuck it deep away for those nights in particular, when the silence gets too strong, and I’m ready to let go, but I am not quite finished holding on. I mean, sometimes, I am the happiest person in the world, but that’s dominated by the nights where I want to check out from the hotel we call life. It’s like happiness eludes me, and every door you open is a dead-end hallway. Maybe it’s just teenage angst, but it feels more substantial than that. Anyways, enjoy the song. It’s Soco Amaretto Lime by Brand New.

The way I look at it is, life only gets better when you make it better. My life sucked, so I made it better. There isn’t any special meaning in it. That makes it better, because when you achieve something, you are the one who made it happen, not some bullshit fate. The more you see, the more you realize that there are very few people who are truly happy, just people that are better at pretending or ignoring it. I have decided to spend my time bettering my life and the lives of those around me. It’s not alot, but it is all I have.
My advice, find something small. Work your way up from there. We all die someday and are dead forever, this is your one and only chance to enjoy life.
You want someone to talk to, hit me up. You will get no bullshit, no lies.

I try. But failed attempts seem to be my specialty, especially considering how well everyone back east is doing.

An overplayed expression, but you cant win if you don’t play. The problem with our society, partly due to our foundations in capitalism and partly because of our foundations in christianity, is that we are obsessed with perfection. from our movies, to our heroes, to our schools, to everything. We cannot, and will not be perfect. Ever. From what I understand, your parents are like most (mine included) that only care about when you fail. when you succede at something, they immediatly move to “what’s next?” You need to be concerned with what you want. What lifestyle (house, job, activities) do you really want? Not some dream world, the bare minimum for you to be satisfied. What do you need to get there? That is all you should be focused on. Your parents can’t be satisfied. Society cannot be satisfied. the world wants you to be some perfect CEO or doctor or somesuch. the only important thing in your world should be yourself and the people who enjoy you for yourself. You moved right? I can imagine how that is pretty isolating, so priority number one is to find someone. Just need to look hard enough.
Seriously, Fuck em all. I gave the world a good chance to make me care about everyone, but the truth is most people suck. It took me a long time, but I put myself out there and met some incredible people. Its all the more rewarding to find the kind of people who help each other out.

Just as mybirdistheword below puts it.
I’m 21, and honestly these anxieties and fears about growing up is what contributed to my depression, along with losing/growing apart from relationships I dearly held and believed would have lasted forever. Nowadays, I realize that life is what you make of it. The relationships you form with others, yourself, your faiths, and so on; and that you can’t hold back in life. These days my life is full of casual relationships, and I find myself yearning for something more; which is why I’ve sought to better myself, be more open, try new things, and not hold back anymore. You can think, view, and reminisce, but never dwell or compare yourself to your past or to others. Do you, be you. It took me a long time to realize, and become who I am now today.

Brand New helped me through a particularly rough time in my life, so I can definitely see where you’re coming from. The thing is, you just gotta keep rolling with the punches and find a reason to get up after each hit. Me? I keep going because I want to help people, and I can’t do that if I’ve given up the ghost. You just have to find something that sparks that fight in you and makes you make life as good as it can be for you.
I’m pulling for you, man. We’re all in this together.
