“It’s not like it used to be… you can’t mess around anymore.”
You grew up.
Your life changed.
The people who you use to be friends with, hang out with are simply just no longer the same
The world around you has changed and keeps changing.
You must also change, even though you’re not sure how you have to grow up and act differently.
So much is different.
If you don’t change you could ruin your life.
Your family, your friends could be hurt by you.
Things are just not how they used to be.
