Electronic Music . Song : Don't Wait for Permission .

Let me tell you something
I've learned along the way
What they don't teach you
When you're young and afraid

Every scar's a lesson
Every fall's a chance to rise
Look inside the mirror
This is my advice
This is what I know
When the world gets heavy
Here's how you let it go

Stop waiting for permission
To be who you are inside
The voice that says you're not enough
Is just fear trying to hide
Trust your gut, trust your heart
Even when the path's unclear
Sometimes the best decisions come
From facing what you fear

You don't need their approval
To chase the things you want
Don't shrink yourself to fit their box
Or let them make you small
Your worth isn't determined
By how much you achieve
The love you give yourself today
Is all you'll ever need

When people show you who they are
Believe them the first time
Don't make excuses for their words
Or try to read between the lines
Boundaries aren't walls to build
They're bridges to your peace
The ones who matter will respect
The space you need to breathe

Failure isn't falling down
It's staying on the ground
Every time you try again
You're stronger than you found
The goals that scare you most
Are usually worth the fight
What feels impossible today
Might be your greatest height

Stop comparing your beginning
To someone else's middle
Life's not a race to finish first
It's learning how to giggle
At the mess you sometimes make
At the ways you've grown
Your journey is your own to take
You don't walk it alone
Are the ones you need to have
Don't let the words pile up inside
Until they make you mad
Speak your truth with kindness
But don't water it down
Your voice deserves to be heard
Don't let them shut you out

Money comes and money goes
But memories remain
Choose experiences over things
When sunshine follows rain
The moments that will matter most
When you look back someday
Are times you chose connection
Over getting your way

Your past doesn't define you
But it shaped who you became
Don't run from your history
Or carry all the shame
Take the lessons, leave the pain
Let forgiveness set you free
The person you're becoming
Is who you're meant to be
This is my advice to you
From someone who's been there
Life gets messy, life gets hard
But it's beautiful, I swear
Keep your heart open
Even when it breaks
Every ending is beginning
Of the future that you make

Let me tell you something
I've learned along the way
What they don't teach you
Is you'll be okay
