Words From A Soul

thinking thoughts

I've been thinking too much lately.
I've been thinking about how romanticism sounds so nice and beautiful and romantic but how it is dark and distorted and strange. I've been thinking about how when you learn how to drive, your parents and your teacher tell you to go the speed limit, or slower because it is safe and it is comfortable, but how on the road you know that even when you go 3 miles per hour over the speed limit the person behind you constantly wants you to speed up. and I've been thinking about how parents and friends of parents tell you to stop growing up, but they never tell you to not get a job and they never tell you to not get good grades so that you can't get in to college and you'll have to stay at home with them, and they never consider how their parents felt this same way and they left them.
