one of the key indicators that i'm not doing well is that i'll start responding less to when people outside of my close friend group message me. and i dont think i wouldve understood this about myself if i was a teenager. idk im much more aware abt these things which makes it sometimes easier to navigate

i’m almost 23 and tbh i feel younger now than i did when i was 20-21. it’s def a weird feeling to have like what the kids are up to not really include me anymore but i feel like as i get older i don’t care as much. also i think at this point i’m much more surrounded by people who are my age or older than me instead of my age or younger like i was when i was in high school or college, and i realize just how much of my life (and my YOUNG life) i have ahead of me. i think it’s much cooler to be a little bit out of the loop or a little cringe but have a stronger sense of self than to be completely tapped in but be 15 lol.

i knew that i was starting to feel old when i saw the 2010s being romanticized 😭 but getting older makes me feel so wise. i feel like i hav a lot more lore to share with others and more inclined to listen to people older than me when they narrate their lives. being off my phone a lot more now i think contributes to it a lot -- i def feel super out of the loop when it comes to slang and things that are trending now. one of my friends asked me what type of vibe she should wear for a concert and i was jus like "ur clothes? idk". i feel old even around people my own age when i'm talking about music and they haven't heard of some artist that i thought a lot of people listened to. i met this guy (23) who had never heard of deftones before and it fucking baffled me ??

i just feel like me. i felt old when i was like 22-24 but now at 27 i’m just like wow i haven’t been alive that long and actual old people just see me as a 20-something. also like yeah while i guess you get more mature with more life experience, your brain still feels the same somehow (maybe bc maturity isn’t linear or a truly measurable metric). i get why people begin to lose touch with things as they get older not bc they’re too old to understand but it’s like what use do i have knowing what cultural signifiers will get me approval from a 10, 15 or even 20 year old? i don’t even care what my peers think.
i used to have an obsession with mustaches and bacon in middle school and said shit like “rawr means i love you in dinosaur xD” like i have no place judging the new stuff that the kids are saying today.

u gotta just show up at the same places consistently. if someone sees u at a place long enough they'll either end up talking to u or u'll talk to them by virtue of just occupying the space. this can apply to almost anything so like the gym, dance classes, art studios, cafes, bars, clubs, book clubs, town hall meetings, etc
personally, ive been going to the same rock climbing gym and even though i suck at it (and im really really bad at it) ive met a couple of rlly cool ppl from there. but yeah its much easier said than done, bc life can get in the way of that consistency. but if u rlly try at it i think u can meet some cool folks.
