Dear Younger Me
Navigating Life's Tapestry: Reflections of Dear Younger Me at 30
Lyrics
I never thought I'd make it all the way
I didn't anticipate reaching this point in my life
To 28
Specifically, the age of 28
Now here I am, staring 30
Now, I find myself facing the age of 30
Right in the face
Acknowledging the reality of aging
And, so much has changed
A lot has happened, and things have evolved
Nothing stays the same
Highlighting the impermanence of life
Where has all the time gone now
Reflecting on the passage of time
There's so much left to figure out
Feeling there's much more to understand and discover
I wish I could go back to when
Expressing a desire to return to a previous time
I knew who I really was
Longing for a clearer sense of self
And, I could make her feel
Wishing to make the past self feel valued and complete
Like she was always enough
Emphasizing the theme of self-worth and completeness
Always enough
-Always enough
-Always enough
-Always enough
-Dear younger me
Addressing a letter to the younger self
I wish I could say we're happy
Expressing uncertainty about current happiness
But, you know I'll make you proud
Commitment to making the younger self proud
Even though these voices get so loud
Acknowledging challenges and internal struggles
So loud
-So loud
-And, everything I fell into
Regret about choices that led away from the younger self
Just took me further from you
Actions and experiences distancing from the true self
I wish I could go back to when
Reiterating the desire to return to a more authentic self
I knew who I really was
Longing to rediscover and affirm one's true identity
And, I could make her feel
-Like she was always enough (Always enough)
-(Always enough)
Repetition emphasizing the feeling of being "Always enough"
(Always enough)
-I promise I'll stay
Committing to staying true to oneself and ensuring safety
I'll keep you safe
-I promise I'll stay
-I'll keep you safe
-I wish I could go back to when
Reiterating the desire to connect with the authentic self
I knew who I really was
-And, I could make her feel
-Like she was always enough
-Okay, but, really
Reflecting on the unexpected journey to the present age
I never thought I'd make it all the way
-To 28
