Some songs just hit differently even though you've heard it a thousand times.
I remember when I was way younger, my mom would keep advising us (her kids) about some things I considered not to be of concern because I mean I was way too little to understand these things.
The funny thing about it is how she wakes us up very early in the morning to advise us about family, Life, love, marriage, and the like and most times I keep whispering, "I don't need these things, but as I get older I come to realize that learning never stops and if you keep acquiring knowledge even when you don't need it at the moment, it is still profitable for a later time.
Fast forward to one day while I was still in high school, my classmate was looking all gloomy and then I asked her what the problem was.
" I hate how dysfunctional my family is," she just let it all at once. "Sometimes I wish I could change my family," I was gobsmacked for a moment cause I just didn't know how to say to her what I wanted to say, but I remember telling her that no family is perfect and everyone goes through their hassles, it's very important to embrace your family and look for the good in them because, at the end of the day, they are all you've got." Honestly, I couldn't believe how much wealth of knowledge I had acquired until I could advise her and I bet she was surprised too, from that day on, she turned me into her adviser.
Suddenly I began to value the time with my mom the most and how much she was willing to groom her children to be wiser and smarter at a very young age.
I think as one grow older they begin to place value on some things they once took for granted and it hits differently when they begin to experience such situations too, they realize how hard it was for those who had passed through such situations before.
This song to me is just a perfect song to appreciate the beauty of time, as it reveals so many things.
This is a very beautiful song by Sasha describing how parenting isn't an easy task and how much effort our parents put in to make so many things in the home work.
We often blame our parent for some of their poor decisions but the older we get, we realise that maybe that was the only option they had to remain sane.
The conclusion of this post is to appreciate the effort of our parents, and the beauty of time, and also never to judge a situation we've never been in before.

Every moment in our of life have got an amazing gift to offer, and we must not miss out. The time you spent with your Mom offer you the gift of her wisdom, and so was you class mate. Her moments with you must have help her through a lot. Thank you so much @amiegeoffrey, I needed to come across this. At least I will from today pay closer attention to every gift that time offer, even when they seem unnecessary
Oh, what a heartwarming comment this is, thank you so much for coming around.
You are welcome my dear
I didn't know anything about Sasha Sloan, so thanks for showing her to me. What the song says is true, it's about doing the best we can, and as we grow up, we realize that they (our parents) always had it difficult.
There are dysfunctional families and members that I believe should not be tolerated. This is where the concept of letting go comes into play. However, you know what? Children or adolescents who grow up in problem-filled environments often struggle to find the resources necessary to free themselves from those challenges without success. I think many of them end up succumbing to those difficulties instead of overcoming them.

Thank you so much for the feedback, I do appreciate your time here.❤
Dear Amie,
This is a beautiful song that I enjoy listening to. Thank you 😍🥰
Yes, our parents are not perfect and most time we only get to understand some of their decisions and sacrifices for us, as we grow older.
Your mom is a wise woman for grooming you as much as she has the chance to, lessons like that make life easier for kids as they grow by helping them to be able to make wise choices.

I am excited you enjoyed the song, thanks for the beautiful feedback as well. Have a great day.
The time spent with your mom helped you in gaining knowledge about life and how to relate to different perspectives.
I honestly want to do this with my kids, as they grow.
