Tiny Vent - Tumblr Posts

It's so wild to me that my first introduction to Agere was reading Voltron fics on Fanfiction.net in 2016. I was 12. I'm turning 20 this year.

VVV Mini vent I think but it's more of a reflection lol VVV

I remember all those years ago I was way more responsible than a kid ever should be, I thought of myself as an adult already. I was knee deep in raising my baby sisters, making them dinner, helping with homework. I was the one talking to their teachers. I was doing so much for them, trying to preserve their childhood while dealing with issues like my first period and "why were boys starting to look cute?" And more devastatingly "would I have to distract my siblings while my mom and her boyfriend fought today?"

At first my regression wasn't very noticeable, I would just get more in the zone while playing with my sisters, get more invested in their cartoons. Maybe watch cartoons on my own time. But as I got older and my sisters needed me less and less my regression got a lot deeper, now that I'm an adult I regress way younger and a lot more often.

Regression has always been my biggest coping mechanism, for almost 8 years now. So much for growing out of it haha
