#just that it gets pushed forward

If OP is 24 I kinda get why they feel that way but like....In general, I find it so weird when people hate getting older.

It's one thing when teens do it, because they literally do not know better lol. They haven't experienced that type of feeling yet, so of course it'll be overwhelming and scary, and the way ppl set up adulthood (even tho, lets be real, your 20s is not what adulthood looks like) it makes complete sense why they dread it or look down upon it.

But how do you feel that in your mid 20s? Have you not caught on that life is about growing and changing and that it truly only improves with time? I think most people start getting excited about growing at that point.

And to be clear, this improvement in life isn't things just "getting better", it's more so that your mind grows. You become more confident and less antsy about how others view you because you realize other people have just as complex minds and inner worlds as you. You yourself become less judgemental and realize there's no rules, or rather, what rules hold value to you, and the autonomy to live your life by your own standards.

Basically, you become....well....an adult. You start understanding why adults told you the things that consumed you in your youth aren't important and why you were not allowed to be a certain way. You also learn that some of these (or a lot, in which case I'm so sorry omg) adults are wrong. You stop seeing yourself as a dumb little baby and instead as their equal, you learn that they didnt know much at all and feel like a fool for ever believing them.

You realize life is not static. You are not frozen in your worst, or even your best, moments. You start seeing the flow of life and realizing what living really is. You are no longer consumed by despair until its deserved. You appreciate every good moment knowing it's not forever but also that more will come.

This, in my opinion, is the greatest realization of your 20s. It doesn't really matter how things go, it doesn't matter how much it may feel like you are stuck, or suffering, or incapable of growth because everything leads to this. The realization that life is long and open and full of the unexpected and coming to terms with your place in this world are impossible to escape. You always find yourself here, even if it takes you a little longer than others....

what do y’all think happens once you hit age 25. your Doing Things card gets revoked?

Something I like about Leo is that he’s honestly really chill? It’s easy to remember the moments where he’s being obnoxious or excitable but I feel like most of the time he’s incredibly “go with the flow” and has an overall affable demeanor.

sometimes I think about how if Touya had gotten the love and help he needed, that Shoto, his friends, and even the entirety of Class 1-A might have looked up to him, some even done work studies under him when he became a hero, and saw him as a role model, and he’d have taken it all in stride because he was grateful that he’d made it so far, and now had an actual, genuine family around him, and then I cry

please pray for my grandad-in-law in the coming months, it’s suspected he has cancer in his lymph nodes and there’s a plan for surgery but he also has pretty severe heart failure so general anesthetic is risky.

I finally got the best mount! Which I only received at getting my final class to level 90 because I forgot to claim it at level 80. 🙃

Hey.

Kim teaching Harry how to skateboard and Harry teaching Kim how to roller skate.

Harry thinks he fucking sucks at first because Kim gets the hang of roller skating pretty quickly. As it turns out, skateboarding is a lot harder than roller skating.

I don’t know where I’m going with this. Um. Kim still prefers skateboarding because of the technical aspect and risk factor but he’s surprised he enjoys how chill roller skating is.

Harry enjoys skateboarding because a) time with Kim as a teacher and b) oh wow a challenge? Your physical instrument loves challenges. You will conquer this with the force of your—what do you mean this is more the centipede’s thing? Holy shit no wonder Kim’s so cool

Sometimes I genuinely do forget just how much energy it takes for me to be a presentably-social human being in the workplace. Like, yeah, I've got social anxiety, but it's more than that. It's that I'm constantly multitasking my work on files, my phone calls, my sorting of paperwork. It's that I'm constantly trying to remember the giant if-then-unless chart of my basic function. it's, most of all, that I have to consciously force my voice to project beyond its natural low murmur. That I have to pretend I'm not critically depressed or impossibly worried about the state of the world. That I have to laugh off misgendering and joke my way through the day to keep up the capable, hardworking, cheerful image I somehow cultivated with these people. I get home after all of that, and I'm so exhausted I don't even have the energy to talk to people I love, and it feels crazy, but also. Also. Yeah. I've burnt so much just by existing in the world. We don't give people enough credit for that.

Are you just gonna keep pushing it back everyday? Likeer

thea works nine hour shifts that take up most of the day’s waking hours, meaning that the only time she’s had to work on the fic during the week are either at 6 am before work or at 10 pm after work (after consistently chaotic nine hour shifts). she has consistently been getting 5 hours of sleep a night to work on a chapter that is currently over thirty thousand words long (30k!!! and counting!!!) for you guys, AND she had an interview this morning the literal second she clocked into work. personally, i think she’s allowed to prioritize her rest and sanity and push the chapter back as often as she needs to if she doesn’t think the stress of a 2 am upload is worth it. kind of weird that you don’t think that tho 🤨
