me and my brother were pretty self sufficient by high school, been working since 14 and my mom was barely home pulling 16 hour shifts. probably freshman year high school but didn’t settle in until sophomore year when social awareness fully kicked in from dating/working/partying
26, i feel like i finally healed from my childhood enough to know who i am as an adult and how i work, and to start to look forward towards the rest of my life instead of just trying to get past each day. friends getting married, moving, and people dying all sped this up too
never, i'm a grown ass kid
