My Songs Forever

My Songs Forever By: Camron Washington The songs that helped me through my angst times when I was a teen were more than just songs for me. Many of them saved me from committing suicide. My life was never the easiest during my teens. I missed out so much and if it were not for these songs, I would not be here on earth right now. A song that speaks for itself is Turning Out by AJR. Growing up, I thought everything would be just like what you had seen on tv. This was not the case. In this song, some of the lyrics that hit hard say, “Maybe I’m stuck on what I see on TV, I grew up on Disney, but this don’t feel like Disney." This truly related to me. I felt like he knew exactly what I felt and was going through. Reality sucks and any adult will tell you this. Do not grow up so fast. Stay young for as long as you can. In another line, it says, “You say I turned out fine, I think I’m still turning out.” This is still me to this day because I am not done turning out. I do not think I will ever be. There is so much to learn in this world and not a single person can say that they have it all together. If they say they do, they are most certainly lying.
