Bonnie S same

how are you now?

r u ok dude

Your time will come, keep faith 🌱

Same here. I was alone. I was insecure. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. Not much has changed ten years later.

me: < transage tumblr warflashbacks> but tbh, i agree, this summer im turnin 20, last month i took the last of my senior exams. previously i was so caught up in all the stress and anxiety of high school that after i came home from the exam i just had this huge wave of relief and revalation wash over me. the realization that i did it, i have my whole life ahead of me, if i don't get into a uni i can start my working life, maybe work with my dad, or do something im passionate about. for the firdt time in like 5 years i sat down to paint as a breather(break). in the past 5 years i only sat down to paint 5 times max and the time i can recall was for my friends bday. i painted on a huge wood board for him. he loved it. i was very proud of it. it was one of the bests ive ever did. then after his party we carried the painting around the city with us in the bag with booze and other gifts. We were really out of it and broke a bottle of wine because we put the bags down to fast. :D it was awesome.

im turning 18 this year and I'm actually really goddamn scared :(

I'm 17. There is the "full life"? I'm scared and depressed only Stop romanticizing this age, I cannot live in peace knowing that my life is not like that fairy tale from the stories of everyone I meet Stop romanticizing any age. Even childhood can be horrible

Turning 21 this year. Feeling so old shouldn't feel bad. Totally agree, have fun with your youth and do what you want.

@@user-wt9ti2yn7d for what it’s worth, at 27 yrs old I’m just now really starting to understand & appreciate who I really am. Still don’t know what I wanna ‘do with my life,’ but I definitely realize how I wanna live it.

Lizbeth Gonzalez I will do too In one month:(

I did too

i writed a letter for my future self that day

Ayooo you’re my sister lol

I'll be 18 in a couple months I'm gonna do that too, I'm so scared to grow up but that's just life, it'd be pretty boring if we could live forever. Still terrifies me though

And that is the truth of life

17 in quarantine

@@hehehehehehehehe7407 yeah its pretty sad, but the thing is i dont think i could have lived any better without it anyway

lmao i just had anxiety read this, lots of pressure for my "last year of childhood"

Age is just a number dude

I'm 17 now and I've done fun and shady things but hey life is short right lmao

i liked this age as in the number itself not the life I was living or anything around me.. not really at least

cool cat I can relate soo much!! It makes me depressing tbh. Most if the time I tear up to the teenage movies and stories.

I don't have friends to live the teenage life lol

the most i’ve done since my birthday is make bad decisions but i got to be in a huge ass parade in a different country so woo that’s something i’ve done besides smoke and drink and fuck up my relationships with my very few friends

Eli Carr 1 million thumbs up

Eli Carr its hard..

"age is a number" that's what pedos say

Y’all calling him a pedo totally missed the point😂

Eli Carr this touched my soul.

May you rest in peace, Matt. I'm so sorry for your loss Dillon.

R.I.P Matt.

Thanks man, you're the reason I'm having this delicious chinese dinner!

Thanks man, you're the reason why im on crack :)

You’re the reason my sons dead

Thanks man, you’re the reason my wife stood me up at the alter. (She wasn’t worth it anyway)

You can't waste being 17. It's a number. Do your best and remember to have fun; life is not about work or expectations. I'm 19 now, but I remember being 17. I had fun. There were times of shyness and difficulty, but I had friends, music, books, travelling. Extraordinary is not a standard. Your 17 can and should be extraordinary; so should your 18. Stop expecting stuff to happen. Just do what you feel like.

thank you very much, dear. hope your 4 months of being 17 are already amazing. peace ^^

this was powerful

hi. i’m turning 18 tomorrow. i just wanted to say that 17 was the best age of my life. “yet” - perhaps i’m optimistic enough to say that. i too often have depression, i admit. i hate being alive sometimes. i really need to just leave everything behind sometimes. BUT I’M HERE. because maybe i like dramatizing things but i believe we are not born for no reason. and i don’t wanna waste my life. i was trying to keep that in my mind during my bad days. i’ll try to do the same this year. please, remember. Life really is beautiful. this years will never come back. we have one and only life. don’t waste it. help yourself. help others. let others help you. i’ll try to do the same. thanks a lot. love you⭐️

@@likabakhutashvili8589

This is what I also feeling❤️

I'm turning 17 and I'm in a similar situation except I prefer being alone.

I'm 17 too and were still so young and we have our whole life ahead of us. It will get better dont worry.

Just take it one day ay a Time. Do what makes you happy.

I know this too well.. I havent gone to school for about a year either because i was so ashamed of how i looked and i was really anxious too(and had/ have depression). i felt like (still kinda feel like ) i waisted precious time that i could've used to find out for example what kind of things i like and collect a lot of experiences . And most importantly find out who i am, but i didnt. Times like this will pass. Youre not alone ,youll get through it ♡

I’m exactly the same and I hate it but I love it. It’s a weird situation that I want to get out of but it’s like I’ve been like this for so long I don’t even know how to change it.

sweetbabylizard Exactly, some people spent their teenage years going out until the sun rises, having fun, partying, others spent them listening to music alone and others just watched it go by, we’re all different.

@@itsalwaysme But how many of the one's who went out having fun wish they spent that time alone? Sure we're all different but there are things one can feel and do at 15-19 that can't be experienced at any other time in the vast majority of people's lives. The tragedy is real and just saying that different people have different experiences can't make it better. I'm not talking about the adolescence everyone else seemed to have, I'm talking about the adolescence that _you almost had_ but it slipped through your fingers

Can you tell me what film is it if you know?

@@gerameslani540 Badlands 1973

@@gerameslani540 Nice movie

@@Lince-th7gp 👍👍

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thankyou kind human

Thank u

no im sorry thats not true XD 17 was a ground breakingly spectacular year for me, but 14, 15, 16 was absalute trash, I truely didnt think I could go on like that anymore, So I decided I would either dedicate myself to spirituality (Zen Bhuddism in my case) or end it all Needless to say iv never experienced that kindof struggle again, but I know there are many many people for who are struggling at 17 and they needent be comparing with others better experiences

Happy birthday

@@abith10ne thank you!

walking out of your school for the last time is the best moment of your life

well did you?

maybe for you its the worst, I'm building my career and love doing it. i cant wait to work in a job i love its better than school i hated..... try be positive brother, keep ya head up

:')

that’s what I thought . its worse i don’t know what to do I’m not ready

Slow down. You'll find out soon enough.

hope your 18s been good :)

@@macatonii a lot better then I could of expected, really excited for 19 soon. Hope your year was lovely to ☺️

Best of luck for the rest of your life

yep this is exactly what freedom seems to me too. hope one day we will be able to throw it all and start living like we want

I live the way you see this... Same here

People are always saying you’d die out there but I’m prepared were animals and I’d choose freedom over security anyway

@@okejtala you're always able to. there's nothing holding you back, if you want to do it.

Hope 17’s indeed a sad age, but at the same time it’s the best age to be

I don't have none of that and I'm turning 17 haha

Hi, hope you're feeling better

just live it now

Hi my beautiful friend, I just want to say I love you, I care about you, I’m thinking of you, and I believe in you. I was so very much alone for a long time too, I was and felt completely alone, lost scared, terrified, and hopeless in childhood, teenage hood, and right up until last summer, I’m 25 now. I’ve cried so many restless nights in agonizing regret that I’d lost my childhood, my adolescence, my everything, my dreams. I thought to myself “I’m a fuck up and that’s all I’ll ever be. I’ve completely lost my youth and it’s all my fault, I’m a loser and that’s all I’ll ever be.” I felt like I’m falling forward into a future that I hate and I don’t want any part of when all I want is to go back in time and start over, to be better. I never had a girlfriend in high school, or even university, and not even until 2 years after that. And even then, we were together for only a week. I still love her and am in love with her, and I so desperately want to be with her. But I don’t know that she’ll ever want to be with me again, or even see me. But I hope so. But for you my friend, I love you and I’m here for you. Sometimes a chat and a walk and a bright sunny day with a friend can start to turn things around. I know you’re 20 now and that’s amazing. So amazing! You’re still a child, still a teenager, still so young in your heart, you always will be, that never leaves or dies, please believe me. I love you, God loves you unconditionally, and I’m here for you if you want to chat. I won’t leave you if you need help, if you need a friend. Love you and God bless. You’re beautiful in every way and you’re not alone, never alone.

Damnn I relate so much with you *sigh*. I'd 18 in ten days and I feel like wasted my teenage years

@@joshogorman8920 I'm turning 18 in two days and your words helped me a litle bit. Thank you

when I was 17 I wanted to be a tattoo artist , im a real estate agent now . My boyfriend told me I couldn’t do it

Byron, well said

I actually had to tell this to my parents. I tried by quoting another song: "And someday I hope to make it clear to you That success is not determined by leather bound books and ink on paper But rather the passion that I have found out of heartbreak and anger I know that happiness is stability, but stability is not a desk job And I refuse to sacrifice my aspirations for an income and security What the hell is "security"? See, I'd rather die at my fullest, poor, but free to roam Than let an office drain me slowly for the sake of a home 'Cause I watched your endless intermission, an actor trapped in mediocrity Gave up on your ambitions and your convictions compared to mine, what a rigid dichotomy" Movements - Nineteen Unfortunately it only worked short term and they still try to pressure me

I'd like your comment but you have exactly 17 likes

My thoughts exactly!!

yes Yes YES!!!

This song needs to be about 1 or 2 minutes longer. Minimum. An extended version would be fantastic.

London really is a beautiful city , Im 16 at the moment , turning 17 this December on the 13th , what day is your birthday? Anyway , i read your comment and i could also relate to it because i live on an island so sometimes i feel trapped , as you do , with an itch for adventure. I really want to visit San Francisco , its personally my dream visit. As for resolving this issue theres not much we can do since we are both young , as soon as you turn eighteen this December you can do whatever you want so for the time being just stay positive.😊

Lucas Christopher my birthday is on the 14th! we’ll get out of these trapped feeling eventually, we are still technically really really young. i hope you get to visit SF soon, it looks like an amazing place!

Tess Worley then how old are you now??

Well I hope you kept imagining!
