Not looking forward to turning 21 :(

I don’t feel like I’m 21. I feel like a child stuck in an adults body. I’m too emotional for a 21 adult, and it’s gonna look pathetic for a 21 year old to be constantly crying over everything

    This is quite a common feeling I think @bignosegirly0 when I was turning 21 I suddenly thought “oh, I’m an adulty adult now?” But really it’s just an age, it’s just a number. But it is scary, I’ll be 23 this year and i suddenly realised I’m now closer to 25 than 18, which is .. terrifying!

    But one things for sure - there’s nothing wrong with being emotional at any age. Adults have just as many emotions as kids and teens, sometimes we’re just struggle to express them because there’s so much else going on with life. But we definitely still need to leave space for those feelings

    You're ancient you though @independent_ , you could get a Honda Jazz when you upgrade your Mokka, a lot of old people like you drive Jazzes. You're probably one of the oldest people in the world, if not the oldest in the world.
