Wait, you mean I’m not actually ‘Forever 21’?!: A Mixtape For Getting Older

March 6, 2013

For those of you who know me personally, you know that my birthday is Thursday and I am not exactly excited about getting older.

Maybe I read Peter Pan too many times when I was younger. Maybe I shopped at Forever 21 for too long. Maybe my step-dad should have never showed me that Mel Gibson movie with a young Elijah Wood in it.

Who knows what the real reason is? Regardless, I have had to turn to music to help me cope. So I created this mixtape for anyone that is facing change. Age wise or otherwise. I included some gems from my formative adolescent years, so the library may not be the best place to listen to this. You’re going to want to sing along.

You can listen to the mix on 8tracks here.
