i just wanted to write this out because it was on my mind while i was in bed last night so here we go

ok, so you know those posts that are like saying “parents: youre young you dont know what you want/who you are.” and then you get all these tumblr users who are like YEAH TTLY F U PARENTS!!!!!

the thing is its the truth? im 21 and i remember what it was like to be 14/15/16 because wowee it wasnt too long ago for me. things change. people change. honestly? you arent going to be the same person you are now when youre an adult and you need to realize that now.

dont try to be a special snowflake and say ‘but you dont know me. you dont know my life’ because thats bullshit. you can ask anyone. theyre different than when they were younger thats just how things go. you grow up.

i used to be this whiner who couldnt stand up for myself and totally knew what college i was going to and how i was going to be rich and famous and shit. but, hi. here i am at 21 years old and ive changed my mind so much that its insane. im NOT the same as i used to be.

thank GOD im not the same because then id be one really immature adult who whines about everything and anything. sure, there are times when i get down in the dumps, but thats to be expected. not everyone can be happy all the time. but just know.

tl;dr just because you think you know what you want at a young age, it doesnt mean that its going to happy. you ARE going to grow up.
