Rant of 9/27/23
Y'know one of the best things about being 19 is? The limbo of leaving the teens to being a starter adult.
It's the age where people 25+ constantly tell you that you're too young for A, too young to feel B, too young to know about C. It's so demeaning and invalidating.
I'll say, that as a girl who worked 3 jobs in her first semester of college, freshly 18, I'm fucking exhausted. I'm the oldest daughter of my family (which is a whole cause for therapy in its fucking self) which means that I've spent literally my whole life up to now, taking care of family. When i was 3, my grandmother kicked me and my 3 month old little brother out of her residence because she got into a spat with my mom. Even before that i was taking care of my younger siblings. When on family vacations, i am involuntarily designated babysitter (for children and (drunk) adults).
I work two jobs. One in a hospital kitchen, full time and the other as a barista part time. I am constantly on my feet for 7+ hours a day, tending to people who could care less about me.
When i was 16, i almost committed suicide in my bathroom. Still haven't been to therapy. ๐ฉท
As a person having been through the bulllshit of life, it's really fucking frustrating when "older" adults try to disqualify my experiences because I'm young. Age has nothing to do with it! We all experience things differently and at different times, but that doesn't mean that anyone's journey is invalid.
I am a black, queer girl. I've got ENOUGH problems ๐ญ. I don't need some millennials and oldheads in my face trying to tell me that I can't be tired or feel overwhelmed.
If i have every right to be grateful then i have every right to fucking complain. If i say I'm tired, I'm tired. If i say my feet fucking hurt, they hurt. If i say that i like Hello Kitty, i fucking like Hello Kitty. These older generations need to get through their heads that this generation is still human. Regardless of any technological advances or any other bs that our species comes up with, at the end of the day, nothing can make us more or less of a human than the next person. We have been beaten down by society forcing heteronormative, gender-biased, and eurocentric stereotypes and roles on us, which only hinder the true experience of being a human. We're surviving instead of living. It's truly a cruel world.
We're on a floating rock in the middle of fucking space and you're trying to argue about work ethic?! Please stfu.
Just enjoy the time that you have here and spread kindness. I don't understand why we can't do this ๐๐ญ.
THIS PLACE FUCKING BLOWS ๐๐พ
^^^ i do make them for fun, so if you wanna send an idea for any, my asks are always open.
I'll do anything I'm familiar with,
; tv shows, movies, characters, music, art, fashion, etc.
