about

Celebrating the beauty that comes with growing up and letting go. Reflecting back on how far I’ve come and how although responsibilities increase as I get older so does my capability to take them on. It’s an anthem for myself to shout from the rooftops that I’m overjoyed to be alive and grateful to those who helped get me here. It’s me trying to turn my contentment into a song and the fact that I get to shout out my therapist (“and Julie said to think of that..”) goes a small amount towards the gratitude I owe her for turning my life around. Girlhouse was on repeat the whole time I was making this one.

lyrics

Late night watching true crime
Thinking this guy he doesn’t sit right
We move our mattress to the living room
There’s nothing sweeter when plans fall through

Weird days on the house phone
Pleading with Gerry “take my baby home”
10 years is adequate to work it out
It’s getting easier to talk about it

And I, I’m getting older and it feels right
I’m getting older and it feels nice
I’m getting older at the right place right time

Get lost in the new car
We’ll take the dog she’s such a sweetheart
The peace you find when you trust yourself
The faith you find when you go through hell

And I, I’m getting older and it feels right
I’m getting older and it feels nice
I’m getting older at the right place right time
I’m getting older and it feels right
I’m getting older and it feels nice
I’m getting older and it feels right
I’m getting older at the right place right time

I never thought I would make it to 30
But here I am, in the corner of my mind
Waiting in a hospital
And I’m watching a life come into the world
Where there is life, there is love, there is hope
I have confidence that I’ll be standing with you there
Watching 20,000 sunsets
And Julie said to think of that if anything ever pulls me back
And I’ll get older
I’ll get older
I’ll get older
I’ll get older

I’m getting older and it feels right
I’m getting older and it feels nice
I’m getting older and it feels right, feels nice, feels right, feels nice
I’m getting older and it feels right
