"If you're going, I will too."

I have no desire to fit in. No plans to walk with the crowd. I have my own mind, heart and soul. I am me and it has taken me years to realize how important that is.

ngl i used to think 25 years old was like ancient when i was 16. i think that's just how ur brain works when you're a teen tbh. the main thing to know is that your life is not over in your 20s, it's actually when you first begin figuring out how you're gonna live your life. even into our 30s. it's really not the end of your "prime" or whatever. that shit is spread by skincare and makeup companies to sell you shit. you're fine

This really does sum up every damn thing that my family members have done and continue to do so and claim they are absolutely right and need to be respected cause they are older. It's amazing (being sarcastic) how they completely depend on me physically and financially but have the nerve to spew all sorts of nasty nonsense, and yet I sit here and take it. What in the world is wrong with me! 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

oh, to fly with you again
