introspection of a young person about character
I feel like middle aged or older adults have such a good sense of themselves, at least from an outside perspective. Everyone I know from family to co-worker to teacher who is within this age range is so easy to describe. Their characteristics are easy to point out and their personality is very clear. I feel like this isn't as true for young adults and teens and especially not for kids. Maybe it's because we're open to changing ourselves more and definition hinders our ability to grow. I feel like this is obvious but an observation non the less.

I feel the same way!! I feel like your 20s are just your late teens cause that’s when you’re REALLY figuring yourself and the world around you out. 30s is when you thrive and flourish. THRIVING THIRTIES!!!!!!!!! I can’t believe ppl think 30 is old cause it really isn’t at all.

@PISCESPRINCESS07 LITERALLY like I admire all of the folks in my neighbourhood in their 60s and 70s going on all sorts of hikes and trips because life doesn't end after your 20s!!!

adult is a state of mind
i’m in my mid 20s but frequently meet 30 (and sometimes 40) year olds that are much less mature than myself, and i also meet 20 year olds that clearly have their life together more than i do. just try your best and try to act like the adult you want to be and examine what things in your life are keeping you from being them

getting older
one of the key indicators that i'm not doing well is that i'll start responding less to when people outside of my close friend group message me. and i dont think i wouldve understood this about myself if i was a teenager. idk im much more aware abt these things which makes it sometimes easier to navigate

Monastery of St. Blamensir
The person who created this site is so insanely knowledgeable and creative, if you are at all interested in medieval history this website will be up your alley. So go visit their monastery and sign their guestbook as a pilgrim of St. Blamensir. (the cemetery is also sure to make you cry)

HAVING A CLINGY CAT
I’m not at home for most of the day but you can bet when 4pm hits she’s there waiting at the front door for me. I’ve been sick lately and had to lock her out while i diffused essential oils in my room to help with my sinuses. I WILL NEVER DO IT AGAIN she was wailing and scratching at my door and the look of joy in her eyes when I stepped out my room filled me with unbearable guilt. I love my cat more than anything on this earth and everyday is a bit better knowing i’m her favourite person ❤️‍🩹
