#growing up is scary

“Don’t you ever miss it?”

“Only the idea of it.”

It’s okay to miss something. But don’t forget how it hurt.

I write poetry now I guess?

so yeah. Had a poetry unit in my creative writing class last semester and now I'm obsessed. Here's a peice I just wrote:

When I was younger

The idea of growing up

Was nothing but a far-away daydream.

Where losing my baby teeth

Was exciting

And a smile plagued my face

As I held up the bone I pulled out with pride.

Now I am older.

And growing up

Had grown and bared its own teeth

As my new ones came too.

Now I would give anything

To go back

To purge myself of my immature maturity

To tear out my bones one last time

And shove my baby teeth back into their roots.

As I come close to only a week left at home before I leave for college in another state, approximately 3000 km away, my bedroom looks like a hotel room someone checked in, slept in, yet didn't actually bother settling in because they're going to check out in the morning anyway. I've unknowingly bid adieu to my room that didn't have my luggage bag as a permanent object on the table. I'll soon step out of my bedroom one last time with everything kept as I would have liked and never will I step into the same room again, even if I visit it from time to time.

A PART OF ME DIED TRYING TO BE WHO I AM TODAY AND I THINK THE ME OF TODAY WILL DIE EVENTUALLY TOO.

#growing up is scary #I hate it. #I HATE IT! #sighs. #poetry #poem

Shit is CRAZY like not long ago I was excitedly saying how I wanted to be a veterinarian and now I wanna work in mortuary science. Not long ago I preferred dogs over cats but now half of my personality is being a cat person. Not long ago I cried when I was around too many people and now I’m willingly putting myself in situations where people APPROACH ME for help. Not long ago I was obsessed with horror and now…some things stayed consistent actually.

#time #time is weird #like wdym #I’m gonna be 18 this year #I’m not 12 anymore?? #6th grade was several years ago #whatttt #I’m gonna have to be independent #growing up is scary #don’t do it kids #don’t grow up #stay 12 forever yall

When you were a kid in a relationship that made you mature for your age. And now that you're older, you're just a kid in an adult's body.

#uno reverse fr #i am still stuck in an adult body with childlike needs #growing up is scary #acting mature for your age does harm you a lot more than you think #growing up #relationship

[tens-tense-and-tensed]

what if after all this adulting i'm only good at being young?

#adulthood #adulting #its so scary so depressing so hopeful so youthless #what if my youth is the only thing i am capable of moulding and my adulthood is just a farce #growing up is scary #growing up is scary! #personal #could use some positivity

[blue-n-grey]

the fact that TIME PASSES and it will never be the same as it once was haunts me at 3 am

#time passes #TIME PASSES?!?? #wdym i can never be child again #growing up is scary #sign of the times

do any other artists feel like. yeah you're a 'good artist' because you draw things that look nice, but like. TECHNICALLY? you're really not great

i really hate that i can recognise that yes, my art is good, but is it VARIED? is it dynamic?? is my anatomy good? is it full of texture and colour theory? do i know how to do This? can i do That? no, not really. and that's quite painful actually

#ramble #yes this is the artist's perspective bs and yes this is anxiety because it's 1am #and yes i'm forever learning and growing but also #aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. #drawing my little guys is fun but i am not good enough for the industry right now and that fucking sucks #i really feel like if i walked into a studio with my portfolio right now they would laugh at me #one of those days where i wish i'd done a more useful degree y'know #i'm going back through the phase where i don't know what i'm going to be anymore and it's scary #some days i really want to give it up and never draw again and do something worthwhile because i Know my life would be easier #and i hate that something i love so much makes me feel so hopeless #signs that i should go to bed ^^^^ #i will resume my pity party tomorrow

I don't know if you're American or not but in my experience as a person who is not American, American events and media are so incredibly loud and visible that they tend to leech into everything.

Like I'm Canadian born and raised and can name more American presidents than I can Canadian Prime Ministers. I have Canadian friends from Canada who can accurately describe themselves as Liberals but are still sorta foggy on NDP policies. Do you know what day Canada Day is? It's July 1st. Do you know what's on my dashboard on July 1st? Early posts about July 4th.

And if you're an American reading this: Or, hell, anyone else reading this: We all know George Washington was the first American President. Do you know who the first Prime Minister of Canada was? Can you name two British political parties? What are two countries that have Monarchies, not Democracies? What was the most recent political scandal you can think of that took place outside the US? What's your favourite TV show that takes place anywhere outside of America? What are your top three favourite non-american musicians? If English is your first language, how many foreign countries can you go to where you don't speak the language, but don't have to worry about it?

I said "International America Day" as a joke, but there is a very real phenomenon in countries outside of the US where the general population becomes Americanized through the prevalent American media.

We know American current events, we know American scandals, we know about American cops and American movies and American accents and American fast food chains. We have serious opinions on the American legal system and we talk about American law and American policy and American celebrities, and many of us don't know Jack Shit about what's going on where we live.

I'm Canadian. I've heard all about 'building the wall' and ICE and Jan 6th, the intentional government distribution of narcotics in Black communities and the use of Marijuana Illegalization to persecute Black and Mexican people under the Nixon administration.

Do you know what Canada did to Chinese immigrants to build the Canadian railroad? What about the Sterilization Act? Residential Schools? Do you know what a Status Card is? Does it, or does it not cost money to ride in an ambulance? Can people with breasts legally walk around topless? What's the legal drinking age? What are our biggest cities? Who was our least-popular PM? What are our allied nations? Where does the Canadian military get deployed?

"International America Day" was a goof. But Jesus, it's a little bit serious

*edit: yeah I wrote June instead of Jan my bad

#Politics #America #Canada #History #Idk boys I m growing up and learning what I don't know and it's scary #America just Does This

With only three days left for me to go to college, I grieve for the things I'm unknowingly saying goodbye to. For the man who runs the shop near my high school who won't be the first person to greet me every morning anymore. Neither will he ever get to ask again, "Is tomorrow a study leave?", nor will I ever know.

When I can't breath due to thoughts of my future, I heave for things that will remain static and endure through time. Like the view from my balcony, my mother's garden and my sister. Maybe the house in front of my balcony will be a building, instead of a quaint house in a few years. Might be my mother will grow cabbages and spinach instead of chillies and lemon in a few months. My sister will be a new person in four years. But it's still going to be the balcony I love watching sunsets from, food I love to feast on, and people I love sharing memories with. And I heave for I may not be there to witness the moments in between. To be always informed a little late and arrive even later.
