sometimes i feel as if i’m not keeping up with my age, and it goes both ways.
there are times when i think i’m not doing enough. like i should be doing more to prove that i’m really a 17 year old. i feel as if i haven’t grown up yet to really “own” the “title” of 17 years old. and this can be really deep, like mentally, but also pretty shallow, like physical appearance and whatnot.
there are other times when i think i’m getting ahead of myself, but i’m in my head about it. i feel like i should stop focusing on trying to “act my age” and just live my life. i’m literally so young why should i be stressing about this?
a lot of this has to deal with comparison. i see too many people at my age that seem to act the way a `17 year old should “ideally” act.
