When were young, were dying at the thought of only being
able to drive to dates without our parents in the car. As a 30, flirty, and thriving lady, it only makes sense to crave the days when our biggest problem was choosing a skip it or playing house at recess. Let it be known, people tell me
all the time how I don't look old enough for college - how I am probably about 17.
Thanks y'all. What people don't know is that I'm most times mature for my age
despite sending whiney drunk texts....I've been through things a lot of people haven't. Not anything life threatening, but stuff you only hear about in life time movies.
NOT THE ONE ABOUT DJ TANNER GETTING KILLED BY WEIRD BOYFRIEND. This
one.
What I'm trying to get at is being at the awkward age before getting my first official apartment and paying loans (VOM CITY) and being too old to hang out at the local friendly's on a friday night. See what I mean, awkward age gap. I just want to know why at this point in life,
EVERYTHING IS A BIG DEAL AND MUCHOS DRAMATIC. A guy doesn't talk to me, let me go cry about it, take some shots at noon and work out to hardcore rap.
Not that it happened or anything...
I then found this quote when I was not behind my steering wheel listening to dramatic songs that all ironically came on shuffle. Blame the car -not me.
And thats what I call
truth with a side of the emoji that looks like your trying to preach shenans. How many times do we (okay maybe just me) let the silly stuff DEFINE WHO WE ARE. We are better than a stupid guy ending it with us because he's too busy (more like 2pretty4u). We are stronger than the math final because honestly, will this matter in about 3 years? EFF NO. And we are prettier than we try to make ourselves seem on social media platforms. Don't let a bad grade, loser, or lack of makeup define your day.
Cool? Gucci.
Love! I saw a tweet that could not have been more perfect for us early/mid-twentysomethings (let's not talk about the fact I'm about to be 25. OMG). It said "I'm at that awkward life stage where half of my friends are getting married and having babies and the other half is too drunk to find their phones." This life stage is so weird, scary, and dramatic...but the drama doesn't have to define us. Thanks for the reminder! :)
ReplyDeletebeing 20 was the shits. being 24, even though it's only 4 years later, is the BEST.
ReplyDeleteLove you <3 I've said it before and I"ll say it again, being 19/20/21 is TOUGH.
ReplyDeleteLove this! Definitely something I needed to hear!
ReplyDeleteLove it. being young was the worst I think.
ReplyDeleteJust letting you know I'm following you. Would to have you come check me out and hopefully follow me back http://nightowlventing02.blogspot.com/2014/04/hump-day-link-up.html
2pretty4u is that your new aim screen name? Should I come over so we can make pretty, aligned aim profiles & away messages? kk be there in 20
ReplyDeletejk this post is so accurate to my life too - I literally live by quotes like this one. Mostly I just get more and more cynical, if thats even possible…
xx
Being this age is so bitter sweet! The smallest things can make us crazy but at the same time it all feels normal, AND it's also the only time in our lives (other then when we were kids) where we can be totally selfish. We don't have anyone to put before us, we can make as many mistakes as we want and, for the most part, get away with it! Live and learn type ish hahah
ReplyDeleteBeing in my 20's so far has just been a long string of awkward moments. I'm too old for college frat parties and too young for sophisticated cocktails with work friends. My co-workers don't take me seriously and people in college think I'm not fun. It's just a lot of trying to figure myself out and figure out where I belong. I can definitely relate, girl.
ReplyDeleteI agree totally I'm 27 now and I feel like such a loser at the bar lol like why am I yawning at 9pm and I want to be at home watching Netflix not dancing to let me take a selfie hahaha
