Ever been listening to a song that you haven't listened to for years and then it's like BAM! and it's like the song was written for you at the present moment. And it's stupid, really. Because not only wasn't the song written for you, about you, it wasn't even written in the same freaking year! But you just keep listening to that song over and over again because, really, what else can you do? You listen to it and think, "That's exactly how I feel." But then you think, "Well, that doesn't matter. This is just a stupid song, written years ago." What also sucks is that once you start listening to one sweet romantic song, you suddenly have to listen to all the ones you have. Seriously. What is with that? And there are always those songs on your playlist that you avoid, that you skip over--"Oh god, not that song," and, "Oh god, that song reminds me of [insert name]." And everyone's playlists have those few songs from your childhood, the ones that you secretly listen to whenever you're wishing back to those nice, simple times. Those times where there were no responsibilities, no stressful times, no worry about a love life, no worry about friendships, nothing. Simple times. You know, those times that ended, oh, about fifth grade? Yeah, those. You think, "Oh, what I wouldn't give for those times..." But, really, would you? Would you want to go back? I don't just mean to have to go through everything again, but..isn't this part of what life is about? The trials and tribulations of college? Of life? Yeah, most of the time all there is to think is, "God, this sucks. When will I get past this? Will I get past this?" But really, these are the times of our lives, and I wouldn't trade them in for anything.
