people will be like “of course you’ll find someone! you’re pretty and smart and accomplished” and it’s like…. you don’t get it…….. all of that works against me
someone told me recently I “don’t seem mature” even though I’m 27 and it really got to me. Like… just cause i like fun dorky things & I have a silly personality? You don’t have to be boring to be mature/ an adult ffs
She’s so right though we have this overt societal pressure to be this very stern stringent idea of adulthood. You’re too old to be at this convention, you’re too grown to like this group, you’re too old to enjoy a stuffed toy, it’s like damn whose fuckin life is it actually?
Some people are just...living. They're not dating anyone. No crush. No one waiting for their texts. They scroll endlessly from app to app with no one to talk to, then go to work, come home, eat, sleep, and repeat it all again the next day.
