Never Grow Up

When I listened to the lyrics of Taylor Swift's songs, I thought they were so true. Like, really, really true. For example; Sparks Fly, Mean, The Story Of Us, and like my post title this time; Never Grow Up. Just read, and agree.

Your little hand's wrapped around my finger
And it's so quiet in the world tonight
Your little eyelids flutter cause you're dreaming
So I tuck you in, turn on your favorite night light
To you everything's funny, you got nothing to regret
I'd give all I have, honey
If you could stay like that

Oh darling, don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up, just stay this little
Oh darling, don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up, it could stay this simple
I won't let nobody hurt you, won't let no one break your heart
And no one will desert you
Just try to never grow up, never grow up

You're in the car on the way to the movies
And you're mortified your mom's dropping you off
At 14 there's just so much you can't do
And you can't wait to move out someday and call your own shots
But don't make her drop you off around the block
Remember that she's getting older too
And don't lose the way that you dance around in your pj's getting ready for school

Oh darling, don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up, just stay this little
Oh darling, don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up, it could stay this simple
No one's ever burned you, nothing's ever left you scarred
And even though you want to, just try to never grow up

Take pictures in your mind of your childhood room
Memorize what it sounded like when your dad gets home
Remember the footsteps, remember the words said
And all your little brother's favorite songs
I just realized everything I have is someday gonna be gone

So here I am in my new apartment
In a big city, they just dropped me off
It's so much colder that I thought it would be
So I tuck myself in and turn my night light on

Wish I'd never grown up
I wish I'd never grown up

Oh I don't wanna grow up, wish I'd never grown up
I could still be little
Oh I don't wanna grow up, wish I'd never grown up
It could still be simple
Oh darling, don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up, just stay this little
Oh darling, don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up, it could stay this simple
Won't let nobody hurt you
Won't let no one break your heart
And even though you want to, please try to never grow up
Oh, don't you ever grow up
Oh, never grow up, just never grow up

This song was written from both sides' point of views; the parent and you. As a teenager there must be a time when you want to do everything your own without your parents interfering and can't wait to experience to live alone so no one will tell you when to sleep or eat or bath. You can do whatever you want. But once you got to that stage, everything was just so hard. And then you wish there's someone to tell you what to do, make your decision, and you wish to just turn back the time to when everything was so easy and taken care of.

My mom once (okay maybe quite a lot of times) said that she wished her children were all still little because she loved it that way. And I understand because I know the hardest thing parents could ever faced in life is to let go of their children. So, whatever you're doing and wherever you are, just keep in touch and show your parents you're still their little girl (or boy). Make them happy. Time flies. Cherish every moment with them. Take pictures. Have fun.

The green highlight was just very true in my case. Hahaha... Also when I hear the verse before, I was imagining my room, my dad's footsteps when he went upstairs and checking up on me and what did I do and asked have I cleaned myself from school and do my homework, or later on at 7pm they called me to have dinner (which I often answered I've had my dinner after school already), oh and my brother's favorite songs (in this case it was all SNSD's songs... but now I think he has changed his mind).

Oh, good ol' days.

So, just to memorize what it was like when I was little, I present this outfit post, with me wearing something childish like.
