Dear Young Adults:

It's actually 100% normal to not feel ready for the world ahead of you.

You spent the first 5 years of life just trying to figure out how to use the meat suit you were forced into. You spent another several years just learning to read, write and do basic maths. High school is not an accurate simulation of how the real world works at all.

You've been cheated out of actual life so far.

So it's okay. It's going to take a few years to fully download the real user manual for adulting. And most of it is handwritten notes in the margins of life.

Don't rush. None of us know, either.

Here's to the people who weren't abused by their parents, but whose parents sucked anyways. Here's to people whose parents fucked up raising you out of ignorance and not malice. Here's to the kids whose parents didn't know what to do with you so they did nothing at all. Here's to people whose parents are getting better and growing as people but still hurt you. Here's to every mean comment that wouldn't have been so bad if it hadn't come from your mom; here's to awkward family dinners because you're all trying to forget;

here's to you, survivor of a thousand 'not as bad as it could have been' hurts. I see you. You aren't alone.

i dont know who needs to hear this but you do not need to go on a diet. you do not need to lose weight as a new year revolution. you do not need to feel shame for gaining any weight over the holidays and for enjoying yourself and the food. you do not need to tolerate diet talk after setting a boundary and if someone cant respect that then theyre being the asshole. you already have a summer body. you already are hot. theres no moral failure or shame in being fat
