Older… Wiser?

I just heard this song from Colbie Caillat today. Read the lyrics and I think you’d appreciate it too.

Older by Colbie Caillat

Waited all my life for this day to come
I feel like letting go
Life goes on
Wasting no more time
So much to be done
Everything works out
So they say
Over my shoulder
It’s tough getting older
Yeah, yeah

Seems like nothing is black and white anymore
Shades of gray and I feel a weight over my shoulder
It’s tough getting older

Yeah it is tough when you get older. You’re no longer a kid that depends on your parents for decisions concerning your life because YOU are the one making it. It’s easier to just follow them around since you put your trust in them that whatever it is that they say is good for you. But as you grow up and eventually be on your own, you need to start to believe in yourself to know what it is that you want for your life and what will make you happy. After all, in this life, happiness is what people value most.

When you’re young it’s easier to make mistakes because you have a couple of years more to learn from it. But when you’re older, you tend to be more cautious and focus on the things that really matter. Is it money? Family? Career? Relationships? Whatever your priorities are, YOU are still the one to decide. No matter how wrong or how right that decision is, either you stick with it or you find some other way. Eventually, things will work out for you, one way or the other. Let’s just hope that however it turned out to be, you’d still end up being the winner.
