you know what ?
our society tends to value two things for adulthood that i, a 16 y/o, should want to get for my future.
it’s :
– a long term romantic relationship
and
– a good career.
EXCEPT THAT, BUDDY.
– i am aromantic.
and
– i’m like 97% sure i have ADHD and all thoughts of academics and career sends me in a loophole of dread and anxiousness.
so that is probably linked to why i fear the future so much. bc i wont have any of these and i have no idea what else i will ever get in life.
but in the end i realized that who the hell cares about career and romance when you can get friends. you can get a nicely decorated appartment. you can get a good bookshelf. you can get a great pub to drink at. you can get cool clothes. you can get a pet turtle.
these are less prestigious goals but who cares right. if they make you happy. these are the goals i really want in life and that would make me happy. that’s the future i want and to hell with c*reer and r*mance.
set your own goals, and fuck anyone who says they are insignificant.
