Get a real job, that's what they said to me
But I could never live the way they want”
-Good Charlotte “The Anthem”-
If you read my post last week you will sense what I am feeling between my dream job and my reality. It is there that the lyrics above have truly made me realize who I am and what I want. By no means am I saying that I don’t want to go to university or be a rebel that wants to go against my parents. On the contrary, they have made me realize that I need to follow my dreams and actually thrive to achieve them. They have made me realize, that I shouldn’t do things just because others tell me to do it, but instead do them because I truly want to. “But I could never live the way they want”, that phrase describes me perfectly and what I feel in this moment of my life. My mom wants a university for me while I don’t know if that is the one I want. As the songs say “But I could never…” I am completely different to my family and I still think they haven’t come to terms with that after 17 years. They refuse to understand that I don’t want to do everything like they do, but I want my own life. That is where the song has truly helped me and made me realize that it’s okay to question the norms and break against them.
Do you really wanna be another trend
Do you wanna be part of their drill”
