#growing up – @larphis on Tumblr

Me, looking into the mirror, giving myself a pep talk:

Okay you got this, you are an adult. You are a grown up. Time to adjust to that, time to blend in with society and portray the image of a figure of approachable authority that children look up to.

Also me, not even ten minutes later:

Wow almost ten minutes of maturity, that‘s a new record!

…Now time to make my blorbos in Picrew :)

#i swear it do be like that #i originally wanted to sent a very important email today that is supposed to determine my chances at college #now I‘m internally crying again at my incompetence to be an adult and try to make Ed in different picrews #adulthood #adulting #growing up #relatable #me #Personal #picrew #procrastination #adhd

Isn’t it funny how as kids we all wanted to be adults,

As adults we all wanted to be kids,

And as teenagers we all wanted to be dead?

Out of all the chapters of life teenhood is the only part that we as humans have never collectively romanticized.

Oh and if you wonder:

“but what about coming-of-age stories?”

They are literally showing that the transitional stage from childhood-bliss to adulthood-realism is depression.

Coming-of-age stories are basically just a narrative tool to remind us of how horrible it truly is to be a teenager and that it (thankfully) isn’t an idividual experience.

So don’t be sad if you think your teen years aren’t going great (so far).

They aren’t great for anyone, we are all just collectively marching through shit until we are old enough to idolize childhood again.

Growing up is learning that it’s okay to not give a fuck about certain things and people.

There is one post graduation event (nothing formal, it’s a day where the graduates prank the school staff and students - a tradition in my country) going on at my school currently and these mfs are trying to guilt trip people into helping organize that shit.

Like, girl do I look like I’ll get up at 6 on a Sunday to help you throw some chairs around for about 12 hours to have ca. 2 hours of “fun” on Monday when you want me to drag my ass to school once more?

And the horrible thing is I would have totally done that 2 years ago, but I couldn’t care less today.

The magic of therapy and selfworth, ya’ll… I can only recommend it!
