Back Then – A Reflection Through Lyrics

Looking back to the good old days again
The time when we used to be friends
Thought it would never end

But I guess things happen for a reason
My mind is still thinkin and thinkin
About how I didn't quit believin

In time, these thoughts become rougher
And I became tougher at the time
I was mad but I couldn't hold a grudge
I just began to judge
I didn't seem to love like I used to

But in time, I saw our ups
And those days we used to hug
Even though we weren't cuffed

My life molded me
It was really hard to process
Now you've made your progress

I just hope you do well
And hope you do succeed
And don't be like me, where I didn't proceed onward

Trust me, I will move forward

(Hook) ×2

I know what I've done
I know it's been so long
I'm writing a song to say I wish I could go Back Then

I'm spilling out the truth
I regret what I said in the truth
I was really mad at you

But now I feel so stupid
It felt like cupid hit me when I saw you

But now rocks are in my head
I can barely go to bed because
Sometimes I look back to being happy

Sometimes I even break a little
Shake a little
Hate a little

You know, I act like I don't care
I know it isn't fair
I know we shared a link

And in a blink, it's all gone
All the fun was just gone
Our friendship was gone
And I'm sorry

We became strangers
To talk one more time would bring me some light
I know we had our fights as friends
But real friends shouldn't end like we did

I don't think we should suffer from our consequences
But we should learn to be more intelligent

I had one last chance of redemption to see you again
But I couldn't wait from the tension
I was too afraid, I know I could have waited that day
I should've went to risk it

You should have seen me change
We could have caught up that day
But now I regret it
Now I regret it

(Hook) ×2

I know what I've done
I know it's been so long
I'm writing a song to say I wish I could go Back Then

So my wife’s going to a gala tonight — as her client’s “date.”

I’m 44 and my wife is 44. She works on an art advisory committee, so attending galas, events, and client meetings is part of her job. She often meets clients for coffee, lunch, or dinner, and I don’t always know the details and that’s completely normal because it’s part of her work. She’s always professional, transparent about her friendships, and I trust her judgment completely. Recently, she mentioned she’s going to a gala with a friend, S. He’s a wealthy client she met about a year ago, and they became friends professionally. She introduced me to him once, and he seems like a genuinely good person. He invited her as his “date” to this gala, and my wife said it’s fine. I did ask her though, if she’s actually going as a “date,” and she just laughed and said, “Date doesn’t always mean romantic.” She said it’s important for her she could get networking and meet new people. Then she smiled and said, “If I get into this gala next time, I won’t need to take that man with me, I’ll take you...

Update- My fiance’s “vows disaster” just hit rehearsal day & it got worse

For context- my fiance accidentally sent our officiant his draft vows, the one full of placeholders like “insert emotional stuff here” and “make her cry but not ugly cry”? Yeahhh. He promised he fixed them. But he did not. At the rehearsal, the officiant asked if he wanted to do a practice run. My man confidently steps up, opens his phone & starts reading the exact same draft. He gets halfway through “insert heartfelt memory here” before realizing, mid-sentence - what’s happening. The entire wedding party is trying not to lose it. Our officiant just sighed and said, “Well, at least you’re honest.” He is now rewriting his vows under supervision like it’s a school detention. The bridesmaids made him a folder titled “FINAL FINAL vows - DO NOT SCREW UP.docx.” If the ceremony goes anything like this rehearsal, I might livestream it for educational purposes. (And yes, I posted the original chaos on r/WeddingJokes — I feel like I owe them an update at this point)

I accidentally went on a date with someone who thought I was their other Tinder match

So, a couple months ago I matched with this girl on Tinder. We had a pretty normal convo, nothing crazy, but eventually she asks me to grab coffee. Chill, right? We meet at this cute local spot, she gives me a quick hug, and right off the bat she says: “Wow, you look even better than your hiking pics!” Problem is… I don’t hike. Like, I don’t even walk briskly. I just nod and laugh it off. We keep talking and she starts referencing stuff that makes zero sense. “Your dog is so cute—what was his name again? Bentley?” I don’t have a dog. Never have. Then she mentions how I told her I used to live in Colorado. Again, not me. I’ve never even been west of Kansas. So now I’m trying to figure out if I have early onset memory loss or if she’s mistaking me for someone else entirely. Finally, mid-latte, I ask, “Hey, just to clarify… what’s my name?” She looks confused. “Jake?” Friends… my name is not Jake. We just stared at each other for a solid five seconds before she burst out laughing. Appare...
