What part of my life was I in? Had the prime of it been used up?

You crossed this line
Do you find it hard to sit with me tonight?
I've walked these miles, but I've walked 'em straight lined
You'll never know what was like to be fine
Don't you know that it's only fear
I wouldn't worry, you have all your life
I've heard it takes some time to get it right

Es viernes: cena y música.
Ayer emitieron "El Sr. Henti comparte piso", una película francesa en la que sonaba esta canción de London Grammar. Se titula Wasting my young years. (Desperdiciando mi juventud)
El vídeo está hecho con un montón de fotos fijas.

Love when sad slow break up songs are written with so much figurative language and metaphor that until I’ve actually studied the lyrics I just genuinely believe that they are like mourning their life in general and then after studying the lyrics and realizing “it’s about an asshole who cheated actually and not about growing up too fast and the consequences of” I decide that “no I like my interpretation better”
“The singer is referencing the fact that their partner cheated on them” actually, I liked it better when I interpreted the song with my literal meaning of “I feel like I’m wasting all of my time of being physically young being forced to act overly aged and mature due to trauma and past experiences.”

Nah, I actually can’t with Liberty Media. What do you mean Marko and Horner wanted Pérez gone, told Max he’d be getting a new team mate (Daniel) in Zandvoort… and then Liberty Media stuck their noses where they didn’t belong and now won’t allow RBR to fire Pérez because of the “money Pérez will bring in during the Mexican GP”…
I don’t care how much money he’ll bring in, I wanna see if Daniel can salvage RBRs chances with the WCC!!!!

Ten times a day, she would glance at the little plastic clock hanging above the classroom calendar and agonize over each passing minute . . . and yet when she looked back on the month, she thought it'd gone by quickly. But to where?

I've been thinking about the tragedy of Elizabeth Woodville living to see the end of her family name.
I don't mean her family with her husband, which lived on through her daughter and grandson. I mean her own.
Her sisters died, one by one, many of them after 1485. When Elizabeth died, only Katherine was left, and she would die before the turn of the century as well.
All her brothers died, too. Lewis died in childhood. John was executed. Anthony was murdered. Lionel died suddenly in the peak of Richard's reign, unable to see his niece become queen. Edward perished at war. Richard died in grieving peace. For all the violence and judgement the family endured, it was "an accident of biology" that ended their line: none of the brothers left heirs, and the Woodville name was extinguished. We know the family was aware of this. We know they mourned it, too:
“Buy a bell to be a tenor at Grafton to the bells now there, for a remembrance of the last of my blood.”
Elizabeth lived through the deposition and death of her young sons, and lived to see the end of her own family name. It must have been such a haunting loss, on both sides.

I’m from PH too but it’s not everyday we see a 19 year old like you. You look and act like a minor
Dude, I'm literally turning 20 this November. Look, I'm just as in denial of my age as much as you are, but I'm sorry to break it to you I just look like this 💀💀💀 I got nothing, dude. I'd rather someone tell me 'Wow, you look young for your age!' especially since the whole internet seems to be terrified at the prospect of ageing. I'll just take it as a compliment and move on with my day.
And since you apparently know how every single 19-year-old act then tell me, how do you want me to behave? And how do you want me to convey that through fucking text? What, do you want me to capitalize my words? Use proper punctuation and grammar? Ooh, do I seem like a big girl to you now that I'm typing properly?
Do you want me to spell it out for you? I play a character here, you fucking dumbass. You don't know me. You can't just sum up my entire personality solely from text posts and some art alone. If you seriously think I 'act' like this irl then, boy, do i have news for you.
Not everything you see here on the internet is the full picture. It may come as a huge surprise to you but I don't show the entirety of my personality here. The fact I even have to say that to someone who I assume is older than me is laughable. You'd think for someone who thinks they can spot a minor, they'd be smart enough to know that.
Every time i post something in this blog, I'm not thinking whether it's 'a true reflection of my soul' or whether 'I'm conveying my real self'. I'm not thinking any of that bullshit. I just try to think of a joke or do something entertaining so I can get a snort from another stranger on the other side of the planet. I admit most of them are a hit or a miss but I like making people laugh. I like getting a 'lmao' from another person, it's nice. And my art is just shit I draw during my free time. It's really not that deep. This is such an unserious blog.
Maybe, that's why you're saying I act like a minor? It's because I'm immature, overdramatic, over-the-top, or annoying? When we grow up do we just suddenly become just as miserable as you? Is that it? Everyone matures at a different age, some minors act more mature than me because of various circumstances. Oh, but they're adults, right? Cause they have more emotional maturity? Cause they act more professional? Cause they're more serious?
If you think I'm lying about my age or whatever then unfollow me, block me for all I care. Make the both of us happy.
