15 Year Old Me Says Hello

I think everyone experiences that moment in life where you realize how old you are and how fast time passes. And you're like whatttttt...you're 25. Yeah, but in my head, I swear I could still be 15.

And these kids are like..."But you're not."

"Oh my goose.. I just might die without my phoneeeeee...and {insert dumb rapper or boy band or Justin Beiber  boy band guy trying to be a rapper}. YOLO. "

 And I see Drake and all I can think of is "OMG Jimmy finally got out of that wheelchair!!" #canadianactornotfromtheghetto

I know my *future* kids will someday think I am the most uncool person in the world. But I was once, or at least I was trying to be just like every teenager is still. The story of the glory days in movies always revolves around that football game or whatever. But for me and my friends, it's all about the music.  If I'm being perfectly honest, you'll still find the music I listened to in high school on my slacker station. And I listen to it every day.

 Where'd this music go?

Don't do drugs kids. Unless you're trying to make an awesome album.  Some things never change. A band's first album is always the best. There's something about being real and honest and on drugs that you just can't recreate once your ego is up and you've been to rehab, everything is made by the computer record execs get a hold of you.

That genuine rawness of people and emotions is hard to come by. You really don't get it from radio music these days. I'm sorry, but you can't tell me that you connect on a deep level with Lil Wayne. If you do, you need to go to rehab you need a reality check. 

Life isn't about getting money or bleeping lady friends (editing brought to you by me). It's wonderful, awful, messy, fantastic, horrible and raw. It's about feeling feelings. When you're fifteen, you feel feelings so raw that you think you just might die. And sometimes when you're eighteen, twenty-five, fifty and ninety-eight. That's life ya'll.

Don't waste an opportunity to feel those fifteen year old feelings in a room with 200 of your closest friends.

 I tried to dig up a great 15 year old emo Allison picture for you but it turns out that I deleted my myspace in a moment of clarity  weakness.

duckface is the best I can do.
