Idk why my mom got upset at me for making songs with lines like “This cruel world” or “The darkness of the skies”
I just want some catharisis¹ okay, what’s wrong with that?
(¹Am I even using this word correctly?)
I think my parents are just boring and doesn’t appreciate art lol…
It seems like a copout but this is a cycle that has happened many many times. Your brain is developing and you’re exploring deeper concepts that reflect your new understanding of the world and it’s darknesses. Just a few years ago you were a much simpler animal to understand, and your parents probably took some pride in their ability to manage your emotions and keep you happy. Now you’re moody and pulling away, and they, like many parents before them, are getting worried. When you were younger they were your whole world, so they take it a little personally when they hear you talking about cruelty and darkness. It can make them feel like they’re not in control and that they can’t help. So they get worried in ways that they weren’t expecting and over react. Hopefully they can reflect on it and learn that your world isn’t focused on them anymore, but not all parents can make this leap of introspection.
Ultimately you’re not wrong, and they’re not wrong. It’s just a part of growing up.
I don’t get how so many parents forget being teenagers.
I think some people literally skip this phase of teenage, or they just skim the surface … and because many humans lack empathy, they assume anyone who says otherwise is being over dramatic or is mentally unstable
