The freshmen...

Well today I had a funny topic but this song jumped into my head, and well I had to talk about it. Age brings several things, namely experience. This is somewhat of an abstract concept when we are young. It is not that we don't understand it, but we simply don't really understand its value. Therefore when we are told how important it is, we simply disregard it, after all we know better. The absolute knowledge is a young indicator, and although I am one of those people that still acts will a lot of hints of absolute knowledge, I can say that age does provide me we better insight on which situations it is acceptable to do so.
"When I was young I knew everything", something very exaggerated? Perhaps, but how well did you think you knew yourself? And did you? We are all more idealistic when young, and become more cynical with time. The world shapes us to be smart, or at least for those of us who survive better than others. Don't take this the wrong way, but how did you make friends when you were young? How about now? I can picture some of you saying it is quite different, but think about how different is it? More suspicious? Why is that? Because you have bigger knowledge about the world perhaps? A better understanding of how wrong things can go?
"For the life I cannot remember what made us think that we were wise and we never compromised...", can you? The simplicity of being young, of only seeing the potential, living on expectations, like freshmen...
Freshmen are full of expectations and dreams, time provides the sad realizations of life. Don't get me wrong life is not sad, or at least it doesn't have to be. What I mean is things are how they are, and a freshmen can't see things for what they are but for what he expects them to be. As usual we are our own worst enemies, hoping too much kills even the best things in our lives, and this realization comes with age, you learn and if you are smart adapt to it... And the cycle continues...
Sometimes I feel the need not to know but knowing, have the experience without having it. Like right now I am pretty sure that the future me could kick my ass into shape, but only because I am living through this period... The answer will come, one way or the other, but you have to wait for it... In the mean time you can always reminisce about your previous time as a freshmen...



P.S.- Take a break and look at the lyrics in the video...
