i turn eighteen in about two hours, and i don’t know how i feel. i think it’s grief. i was forced to grow up so fast because of all the shit i went through, and i can’t remember what my life was before the trauma. and now turning 18, i’m no longer a child. i’ve run out of time to have one and recover, and all it feels like i have to do is move forward and just to keep growing up.

I totally know how you feel. I had a very absent father and helped my mother raise my sisters. So I’ve never really had the chance to be a kid. But not my sisters are 19 and 13 and they don’t need so much guidance anymore. So I’m lucky that my mom has let me kind of do my childhood over so far. It’s okay to still be funky and goofy and figure things out. Sure, you’re legally an adult, but 18 is technically still a TEEN it is eightTEEN. I’m 23 and I still feel like a 16 year old. It doesn’t matter what your age is, you’re allowed to have fun and be crazy and wild as long as you want to. I promise this will feel better. If you’d like to talk about things, anything, I’m here. Dm me anytime, my friend. ☺️

I know how it feels to be rushed out of childhood. If you need someone to talk to, I'm here. What I have been doing is doing the things I never got to do as a child. (Also, happy cake day)

Hey! I was in the same boat when I turned 18 this past January. I'm here if you need someone to talk to!
