"Enjoy your youth" our parents have repeated to us since we were about 13 years old. thus beginning our lives of nervousness at the prospect of what was to come. they coming from a generation of peoples who married young and got careers and imagined that we too would one day actually grow up and work just as hard as they had to and need fond memories to hold onto. they had no idea who they were creating. we decided to enjoy our youth, which for most of us is still carrying on far into our twenties and thirties. declaring adulthood status when we sign up for our gym memberships and get the key chain card to show others we were serious and could make grown up decisions. asking those people observing to ignore the fact the card is snuggled right up next to our crappy cheaply rented apartment key and our point a to b car. also please ignore the toy raptor that shoots lasers and the pancake with eyes hanging off of it. I am an adult. Hear me roar.
Nashville is one of the worst. So few cities are created on a delusional childish fantasy. La. New York. Nashville. Come get famous you idiots. Come act out your childhood dreams and never grow up. These places are like neverland. Every year people flock here to attempt to follow the illusions of grandeur in their minds. We are in a constant flow of people who never wanted to grow up. Thus causing that to become the norm for their peers as well. Finally creating an entire city full of peter pans. Drunk, poor, unsophisticated, bratty peter pans running around fucking each other like dogs. While fixating on childhood we are passing by our adult hood. Country music city. A place where you never have to be a "real" boy.
