don’t trust adults whose favourite phrase is ‘don’t complain about it, life only gets worse from here on’ because that’s bullshit.

they told me the same thing when i was 15 and 18 and 20 and honestly, l feel better NOW than i’ve felt at 15, 18 or 20. ive got more control, more stability and more resilience.

this is jaded adults playing pain olympics and being dismissive to young people. as if whatever issues we are having now are undoubtedly microscopic in comparison to their Big Adult Problems. that’s also bullshit.

if you are young and in a bad position and fucking TERRIFIED that it won’t get better bc old mc’fart said so, stop. you can gain control over your life, you can find help and find a better family and find yourself. your issues are not less because of your age so dont feel bad for feeling bad.

it can get better. your highschool years arent set-in-stone your best years. neither are your uni/college years. great, if they are!! but if they arent, don’t lose hope thinking that it only goes downhill from here.

you can work on yourself, on your rships, and set a fertile soil for a better adulthood. those adults are only regurgitating the same old bullshit and trauma they got from their parents and elders, who got it from their parents and elders. cut this fucking chain.
