#i cant really post pictures of myself online in any sort of grown up context or people will accuse me of lying about my age

[shadowbrightshine]

People at the pool yesterday thought I was 13.

I'M GOING TO COLLEGE IN THE SPRING NOT ALL ADULT WOMEN HAVE LARGE BOOBS AND THAT IS NOT A PROBLEM!!!!

Like. I get it. I'm a very small, like 5'1 woman with a kinda high voice, I can still wear my training bras, (and do because bras are expensive, I tossed most but a few stretched out), and I don't act super crazy mature. I don't swear unless I mean it, and being ace I don't really go for people.

But I am not a middle schooler.

I am not a child.

I am an adult who looks young. That's not my fault. I'm not trying to "bait people" or "cater to weird men"

I just dress how I want, because I have lots of shirts that still fit. I have autism. I am not a child for wearing colorful and happy things.

I'm not a little girl. I am soon to be a college woman.

This frustrates me because no one seems to be able to tell my age until I say it myself.

I was born 3 1/2 months premature and until puberty I had delayed bone growth.

But I'm still an adult.

It's not my fault that I look young.
