I’ve learned many lessons about life this year and the one concept that eventually sinks in is that it goes on.. It’s easy to look back and regret what we’ve done, or who we’ve been at certain points in our life, but what we make of the current moment is what propels us forward.
The catchy song that’s probably on everyone’s ipod right now is Metric’s “Gimme Sympathy.” I think this song is the perfect song to sum up the idea that life moves on, no matter how stuck we feel. You’re bound to “make mistakes when you’re young,” because those mistakes shape the mold that you eventually become. The first stanza is what being young is all about: getting too close to the flame, speaking your mind, and not having time to take pictures of all the memories you create, but eventually you’ll grow up and you can decide who you want to be, the Beatles or the Rolling Stones (or Britney Spears, but let’s not stray down that path, ok?).
Anyways… enough preaching. This song is amazing, and eventually your life will work itself out that way too (this excludes those of you who continue to do the same amount of drinking you do in college 20 years from now, and those of you who do coke with your morning class of OJ, then you’re going to need a little more help).
