This is just song lyrics to something relatable on a personal level. The song was a hit number by one of my favorite singers Hilary Duff way back in the Disney Era. Precisely, it was released in 2003. I was ten and I heard it in around 2008 for the first time. The Disney Era was beautiful, a small little world by itself with relatable actors and beautiful children's’ sitcoms. But I am drifting from the topic.

Song: Why Not
Vocals: Hilary Duff
Album: The Lizzie McGuire Movie
Genre: Teen Pop, Pop
Released: 2003

You think you’re going nowhere
When you’re walking down the street
You’re acting like you just don’t care
When life can be so sweet

Why you wanna be like that
’Cause if there’s nothing new
You’re not fooling no one
You’re not even fooling you

So walk a little slower
And open up your eyes
Sometimes it’s so hard to see
The good things passing by

There may never be a sign
No flashing neon light
Telling you to make your move
Or when the time is right

Why not
Take a crazy chance
Why not
Do a crazy dance
If you lose the moment
You may lose a lot
So why not
Why not

Why not take a crazy chance
Why not take a crazy chance

You always dress in yellow
When you wanna dress in gold
Instead of listening to your heart
You do just what you’re told

You keep waiting where you are
What you’ll never know
Let’s just get into your car
And go baby go

There is elation in making choices. So, the next time you are in a challenging place in life, think: Why Not?! #peace
