Getting Older. Thoughts?
I've always wanted to get older, but now not so much... I like the idea of getting older and having my own place and a stable job with independence, but I'm just in the awkward college still sort of a-kid phase. Growing up I was always the youngest in a situation and I feel like that's all I could really offer.

tbh I'm worried too, I'm turning 18 in a couple months, and I have to get my life sorted out since my mom has high expectations for me since I'll be her first kid to go off to college (I'm the 4th child out of 6 kids) and seeing how the world is now is fucking scary. . .

I am turning 21 in two months. Trust me I felt the exact same way you did when I turned 18. When we are labeled as an age which has just started to see adulthood, it gets really tough. We get stuck between adulthood and teenage hood and I wondered what I was because I mever imagined myself achieving something extravagant in adulthood. Now I'm 21 an...... 1 reply
