    I think I am in an in between period. On the one hand, I’ve wanted to be older and become more mature and responsible. Graduate, get a job, get my own place to live, get married, start a family. I’m approaching the point though where my growing age feels less positive, partly because of regrets, when you see the wild aspirations you had when you were younger go unfulfilled.

    I’m already grown up. The best thing is getting to know oneself, and be able to improve. It can only be achieved through experience (aka “errors”). Use your experience to tune yourself!

    Hate it when people tell me to “grow up”, whenever I do sth. that is considered childish, equating it with unserious. So I ask: Why so serious? Who defines what behavior counts as “adult” & what doesn’t? One should be free to act silly whenever (in a harmless way ofc).

    Many people were the happiest when they were kids, so might as well keep the attitude, if nothing else

    I’m definitely growing up - when I get out of bed or a chair, my body seems to make alot of noise, but, my brain hasn’t received the memo yet…it still operates as a 20 something so does my energy level. Dating is much harder for me as the men who are obtainable for me are so fucking boring to me!

    But, I also seem to care much less of what others think of me…and that part of being older is WONDERFUL!!

    Like I have less and less time to do what I like and learn what I want to learn. Like I care less and less about what people think.

    Like Life is good :)
