For real girl, it’s me in your world, believe me”

“Something’s gotta change
Sounds of laughter and happiness turn my teardrops to rain
Been bearing this burden for too many of my days
Looks like breezes of Autumn done finally blew my way
Like memories of yesterday”

– Outkast on “13th Floor/Growing Old

We all experience rites of passage in our life. Whether it’s birth, getting your drivers license, or graduating, there are certain moments that serve as transitions. It’s a surreal feeling because on one hand you’re letting go of your past, while on the other you’re embracing an unknown future. It’s essentially growing up, but in a more single-moment, grandiose kind of way. It’s a moment where we say goodbye to yesterday because there’s something new to embrace.

Curveballs

“And they throwin us curveballs but we Hank Aarons”
– The Game on “Truth Rap

potential

“Cause they’re not seeing me, they rather look at my potential”
– Ajaxxx on “Broken Dreams”

Ever feel like you’re not living up to your potential? Or do you ever feel like it’s too stressful to even compete with “your potential” in the first place? Sometimes I do. I mean, when I was younger the thought of my potential excited me. It’s like damn, there’s more to look forward to? Niceee. But as I get older, I realize it’s a lot of weight to carry. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the topic of this month’s Opinions Column.
