Your Teen Will Be Happy (Eminem’s Cinderella Man)
All teens have their growing pains and some approach these challenges effortlessly while others wear their battle scars literally on their arms. When your teen emerges from whatever they have experienced as their struggle with who they are, it feels like a burden has been lifted. Finally coming to terms with who they are, feels like joy.
Eminem’s Cinderella Man
Feels Good
Guess Im lucky
some of us dont get a second chance
But I aint blowin this one
Naah man haha
s**t I feel like I can do anything now
These growing pains aren’t without their collateral damage. You are there for the ups and downs and can really take a beating. The emotional challenge of containing the roller coaster emotions of someone who is learning how to use their power is one of the most amazing things you will ever do. Your patience, understanding are nothing short of angelic. You contain it for your teen while moving all the fragile items from their path so they don’t hurt themselves too badly. However, when they are through, it is you they will remember as the rock upon which they could depend. This is all the difference in the world.
That boy’s hot enough to melt hell, burn Satan too
Fry his ass and put his ashes back together with glue
See you can hate him, he don’t blame you, frankly he would too
This game could ill afford to lose him, how bout you?
It is your love and support that creates the confidence of a teen now adult who knows who they are. That confidence allows them to make decisions that are based on having learned what works for them. They aren’t going to be mislead as easily as before because they will have figured out that lesson already. The difficult times become easier to get through because they have the knowledge that they have gotten through in the past and they have been stronger for it. Those difficult times are the gift that gives your teen resilience and without that they would crumble at the least of the challenges life presented. These challenges make them a survivor because what can you do to someone after they have been through some of the things that teens go through.
And at this stage in the game, mediocrity can no longer be allowed to fly
…S**t I ain’t even supposed to be here by the grace of God
the skin on my teeth and the hair on my nuts I skated by
Now ya’ll are on thin ice with ankle weights I hate to lie
how fuckin irritated are you? how much in your face am I?
Eminem knows he got a second chance and he says in the beginning of this song that he is going to make the most of it. Your teen gets this when they start each new stage of their life. They get to reinvent themselves with the previous lessons that have been learned. Your teen is smarter, better and hopefully settling for less chaos in their lives, allowing less mediocrity and setting their bar higher. This is the stuff that allows them to become the adult you hoped they would become. But without the past, without the pains of depression, loneliness, broken promises, hangovers, arguments and broken hearts your teen would be living a fantasy of what it was like to be a teen so despite this grief, it’s better to live through this than to have never lived at all. Without these difficult times, your teen could never develop the confidence to know they exist to do great things.
