GROWING UP & moving out

i miss my childhood bed, i miss waking up to a breakfast i didn’t have to pay for. i love creating my own space, keeping my secret journal open on my desk, sleeping naked, watching R rated movies on my TV, staying up all night, becoming an adult- whatever that means. i used to think the freedom of growing up was not worth the responsibility, but i think, for the first time, the scales are starting to tip…:,)

hasn't fully sunk in

i'm about to enter my final year as a teenager in a few months but just overall i'd say all the decisions i've had to make where i am i'm officially an adult cause our legal age is 18 but yeah being in my second year of uni trying to figure out where i wanna go with my life what direction i want to take and then trying to figure life out with my friends and doing the most just so i can see them it finally feels like we're all adulting and going our separate ways in life and it hasn't really set in yet cause i just wanna be a kid and do nothing but sleep all day lol but it is what it is we move on and embrace all these new things coming with being legal/an "adult"

this year / turning 25

i honestly haven’t really put real hard thoughts to this but the other night at the porter robinson show, he had this transition where the screen asked questions such as “do you remember what your baby teeth felt like” and “when was the last time you hugged your mom,” and i stood there realizing i don’t really experience nostalgia in that sense, and i don’t really process the passing of time in that sense, but it did make me realize i‘m way, way older now besides the obvious things such as noticing your parents getting older, i think this year i finally felt it for real. whether it‘s younger friends pointing out that i‘m 25 and their tone just sounded like they’re scared of that number (haha), or me catching up with my older friends and they are telling me about their plans and wishes about turning 30 it’s the act of having to be responsible for yourself, really really having to do that this time, and having to plan ahead despite i’ve always just lived life as it stands—and how much i’m struggling to do it. how frustrating it is to face the problems i’ve been running away from and still having no idea how to fix them, but just knowing that i’ll have to, that really feels like growing up anyway this is too long✌🏼

accepting that you’re not trendy and cool

tried reading dante alighieri’s inferno. key emphasis on tried. i got bored and realised a story written in poem form is not my typa beat. i tried because it seemed like what all the indie hipsters who are well versed would read, and that i would look cool and niche—but it just cost me $25. i prefer crazy detailed paragraphs rather than a line by line story. anyways

stop saying “i’m sick”!!

saying “i’m sick” when you’re sick is boring. instead, here are some more funky fresh and cool ways to disclose that your immune system has been highjacked (it’s time to revive these sayings from the dead!): “i am indisposed” “i am taken ill” “i am feeling out of sorts” “i am suffering from a bilious attack” “i have been seized by an ague” “i am afflicted with a malaise” “i have taken to my bed” “the vapours have overcome me” “i have a touch of the influenza” “the rheumatism plagues me” “i am laid low with a fever” “i am afflicted with a troublesome ailment” you’re welcome
