Everyone Knows it Sucks to Grow Up
This is a lyric from a Ben Folds song. It's kinda bitter-sweet but I really love it for some reason.


“Good morning son. In twenty years from now maybe we’ll both sit down and have a few beers. And I can tell you about the day, how I picked you up and everything changed. It was pain, sunny days and rain. I knew you’d feel the same thing. Everybody knows it sucks to grow up. And everybody does. So weird to be back here. Let me tell you what, the years go on and we’re still fighting and we’re still fighting it. You’ll try and try and one day you’ll fly away from here.”
