one day we are going to be old.

i’m 19, and it scares me but also excites me and terrifies me all at once that one day I will be a grandmother and have a beautiful family to look at. or i’ll just look in the mirror and see my gray hair and wrinkles, but i won’t feel like that on the inside🥺 older people have so much of my sympathy. it scares me, one day it will hurt to get out of bed (it already does- i can’t imagine when i am older). One day someone will ask ME for life advice…😩 i want to appreciate my youth but it’s difficult when college is a big time stealer.

What is your advice for someone about to be 20?

update: you guys are really sweet! I’m not at all scared of aging, but it’s just really terrifying that these are years I will never get back.. and honestly none of us will be as young as we are this moment. we gotta enjoy it no matter what. I definitely have wasted a lot of time comparing myself to others and creating jealousy, and this is definitely guiding me to focus on better things! :’)
