hi sydney !! so I see you post a lot about your life and going out with friends and stuff and I wanted to ask - im 24 (almost 25) and I have kind of an edgy/emo aesthetic lol and I can’t shake the fear that I’ll have to ‘grow out of it’ and out of doing fun things at some point. my friends spend a lot of time talking about how they feel old and the other day my friend told me that when we hit 28/29 our ‘partying days will be over’ and my 25 year old friend got told that she was too old to go clubbing (by a 23 year old…..who was also going clubbing??) and it’s all made me very insecure like I have a limited amount of time before I have to become a boring adult lol. I was wondering if you had any advice for how to get over that bc it’s stressing me out a lot

yknow, ive been thinking this ask over for a few days now……. ironically while i was going out with my friends and having a good time and feeling like young and free and wild lol…………

i want to ask you, gently: do you hear yourself? youre not even 25!!!!!!!!!!! and youre worried about being too OLD??? do you know how YOUNG WE ARE??????????? were fucking babies dude…… i joke about “feeling old” on here but i KNOW im young. im like a baby!!!!!! im only 26!!!!!!!!!!!!! like i cant answer your worries about being in your late 20s bc im not there yet, but most of my friends are 3-4 years older than me and theyre fine!!!!!! ive always been the youngest in my friend groups by a few years so ive always felt like a little baby. being youthful and cheerful and silly is like… a personality trait of mine!! bc im so young!!!! and you are too!!!!!!

do you think you grow out of loving things? of course you dont. you know that!!! stop buying into the lie that your life ends at 20, holy shit, youre an infant. would you ever tell another 25yo that theyre too young to go clubbing?? of course not bc thats BATSHIT lol. thats literally THE age to go out????!???!!? i do honestly party a lot and i prioritize hanging out w my friends irl, bc i love them and theyre the thing i treasure most in the world. ive had periods where ive been so lonely it made me sick and sad and crumpled and miserable. you HAVE to love your friends, and relish the time you get to spend together. and soak up every minute of your youth while you have it. if you start thinking youre “too old” to have fun in the first QUARTER of your life, thats???? awful!!!!!!!!!!!!!

honestly your friends sound lame. im gonna say it lol. i think they are poisoning you with their fucked up ideas about youth and aging and its going to make you sad. push back!!! tell them theyre wrong bc they literally objectively are and its a bummer mentality to boot!!!!!! like fuck me if i hit 30 and decide i was wrong but were like the same age and it makes me so sad to hear you talk like your life is over lol. go to concerts and get drunk with your friends!!!! do drugs together!!!! kiss people!!!!! make mistakes!!!! laugh and cry and marvel at your youth and your connections to the people around you!!!! give yourself a scene haircut and take pics like a 14yo!!!!!!!! live in the moment and acknowledge youre an infant!!!!!!!!!!
