To those afraid of aging: don't be. You will find yourself, you will slowly find your purpose as you age. Give yourself time to process what happened to you when you were younger. Don't pressure yourself to be at the same speed as everyone else, don't compare yourself too much.

If there is something you wish to do, you should find the courage to do it, to follow that career, that dream, that relationship. Achieving things takes time, and everyone has their own timing.

You’re still young, you still have time to make decisions that will impact you in the long term, and it’s okay to not feel ready yet to commit to just one thing for your whole life. Please don't let other people push you into making decisions that should impact the rest of your life while you are so young. Don't pressure yourself either.

The thing about adulting is that everyone is just winging it, no one is any idea what they are doing, not even your parents, or grandparents. We are all just living, trying to deal with the unpredictability of life.

It is okay to change your mind about who you are, what you want. It's okay to feel scared of the future. It is okay to want more. It is okay to fight to achieve what you want. It's okay if you don't care about achievements. It's okay to be lost when you're not even a full grown adult. Because most adults are still lost, but less than when they were younger.

It does get better. You get more freedom, you can make your choices, you figure out what you like and what you can't stand, then you start molding a life according to your needs, your happiness. Please remember life is here to be enjoyed.

I spent my teenage years and early twenties so anxious about the future, and it didn't help me prepare for all the absurd stuff that happened in my life. I have had to spend a long time just healing from the past and figuring out the present.

You can only learn about life if you live it, by going through it. Let the future come, just one day at a time, you don't need to rush into anything. It's an amazing journey, but please be patient, kind and forgiving with yourself. You are still growing and figuring it out. And you will.

You have to live a bit so you can figure out who you are, what you want to do, how you can change. Don't be afraid of throwing yourself out there just because you're not perfect or you are afraid of failing. Just because you have failed, it doesn't make you a failure, it makes you a student of life. You didn't know it before, but you know better after failing. Don't be so afraid of judgement from others, live the life that feels most authentic to you by being honest about who you are.

Embrace life, it is here to be enjoyed, you are here to figure stuff out and heal and find yourself and you will! These things take time, but you will! Life is a beautiful journey of self-discovery, it will continue to surprise you until you die. There is always so much to see, to learn, to grow, to become. And you will get there.

Idiot to Idiot communication

#there's a part 2 to this in my brain but idk if I'll draw it and this can stand alone fine too #danny phantom #my art #van life au #agit technically #i like when older danny grows his hair out but i could kinda see him avoiding it as a way of avoiding that evil alt future #like hes uncomfortable with how it likens back to it #but maybe having van around and seeing that alt future version try to be a better person in their 2nd chance could #ya know relieve any of that anxiety #so i wanted to illustrate them having a conversation about it #but i got stuck on thia funny beginning part #who knows if I'll get around to the serious part

Brothers and fathers and sons

#ninjago #my favorite thing about lloyd and garmadon is that the love is there but it doesn't matter #lloyd ninjago #lloyd garmadon #lord garmadon #garmadon ninjago #kai jiang #kai smith #kai ninjago #firm believer that lord garmadon + sensei g are different from lord emperor garmadon #he doesnt love his son so it's not garmadon #Lloyd as he grows older and his memories of his father grow blurrier having trouble telling the difference between his father #who is dead and gone #and his brother #who was there when his father couldn't be #writing an essay in the tags once again #my art

finally figured out a Bdubs design! not sure if i'm happy with it yet but oh well! he is extremely glare coded to me but like in a scary shadow creature way and I love that for him <3

#i make all my favorite characters look scary its one of my love languages #bdoubleo100 #Hermitcraft #anyway methinks glares are kind of like hermit crabs in that they inhabit other things #but instead of shells its plants #and as they grow older they take up more and more space so you can have little baby glares that only take up one little shrub or ancient gl #this has very little to do with the design i just wanted to talk about it

no more mirrors (the beginning of dante’s nightmares)

#dante devil may cry #devil may cry #dmc #dmc dante #dmc vergil #vergil devil may cry #dantes hell run in dmc2 involved a lot of demon killing #but also trying to find vergil #after coming back to the human world he was beginning to accept that vergil was really gone #thats why hes back to being wahoo pizza man in dmc4!#growing older also caused dantes reflection to look less like the vergil he remembered #i have a lot of incoherent thoughts about dante #and the fanfics dont help but i love this stupid overpowered cowboy

homestuck is about friendship and when it's not about friendship it's about gender

#overall it's about learning and growing and changing as you get older #which is why i think the protagonist being an heir of breath is fitting

Gender performance is my dad deciding to grow a mustache at age 50 and keeping it for as long as I’ve known him because “dads should have mustaches”

#A+ in gender performance Dr dad 👨🏻#text #friends will know I have absolutely said this before #but I literally haven’t stopped thinking about it since my older cousin told me that he said this #same way I still think about how my sister realised he doesn’t like onions when we were 20 #bc he kept picking all the green onions off the tofu HE made and casting them aside #and even my mom didn’t know he didn’t eat onions #and he’s right…… If I ever become a dad I too shall grow a mustache……#btw my cousin had his baby last year and guess what is on his face rn

seeing either of these would kill me on the spot btw:

other parallels because I somehow never noticed <3 :

Bonus younger Ema and her sister <33 :

#ema skye #lana skye #i think i've made a post about the skye sisters smile attack beam before but i cant find it so <3 #i like that younger ema shares comparatively fewer sprites with lana but she grows older and jaded and it's like oh <3 sisters <33 #they need to bring lana back just so both of them can smile at me like that and kill me forever #it's a shame we never got to see ema do impersonations of lana.#i think her recreating the 'you've done well mr. edgeworth (smile)' moment from the end of rfta to edgeworth would freak him out so bad #ace attorney apollo justice #rise from the ashes

no promise of heaven will make me march with my final breath I deny the church

#seeing a band from the bible belt write a song about growing up in a christian environment #and ultimately distancing yourself from it as you get older and recognize the hypocrisy and corruption within the church #means so much to me #idek where to start w this video #the colors #the grainy film #the southern gothic vibes #one thing about knocked loose is they're gonna make some capital-A Art baby #blinding faith #knocked loose #K//L #you won't go before you're supposed to #hxc

growing old together...

#nie mingjue #nie huaisang #niecest #i always think about this little scenario #mingjue regaining his consciousness and getting to watch huaisang growing old; older than he and their father ever got to be #maybe older than every nie sect leader before them #and being happy to be able to witness that #and to be by his side until the very end #it doesn't need to be niecest; it totally works with their canon dynamics #but i did have the little 'couple growing old together' image in my head when i painted this so it is niecest #even if mingjue won't change #which is also quite romantic i think #old man huaisang should stop and stare at his permanently 30yo brother and go feel all sorts of things

thinking about how cat and lysa were so close as children they created a secret language to communicate

only for that same language to lead to the downfall of catelyn’s house and death of her, her husband, and her children

#hoster what the fuck did you do #thinking about how cat and lysa were close as children but enemies as adults #and sansa and arya disliking eachother as children but missing eachother as they grow older #thinking about sibling rivalry 💔#catelyn stark #lysa tully #asoiaf/got #game of thrones #asoiaf #catelyn tully #house tully

I love you smile lines and worry lines and grey and white hair and wrinkles and purple spiderweb veins and the process of aging and living in a body that is standing the test of times. I love you experiences that make you wiser and stories that make you laugh, and every little process that happens to get to the point where you have so many memories because you have the fortune to be here and be so radiant
