This is my first post and it got me thinking of all the other firsts happening this year. I just got accepted into my dream college and i can t wait for my first day. I m also getting my first apartment with my little sister so i can be close to the campus.
All these first steps into adulthood make me feel more like a little child but i couldn t be more excited.

😃I’ve been scared of growing older & change for my entire life (i fear I have been dreading this since elementary school) and ever since I entered university I’ve lived in fear of having to become a real person in the unknown and scary world that comes after that outside the confines of a structured academic environment … (i blame growing up in a very academic-stressed environment where your entire life purpose was to get into a good university so like after that’s done what’s left?) it always felt like after university, life just ended which is an INSANE take because most people are literally 21-22 when they graduate. YOUR LIFE IS JUST BEGINNING!! you’re barely even a real person yet! you literally barely turned the right age to walk into a bar in the USA!! somehow, after 4 years of dreading this day, i think i finally got it out of my system and now that I graduate in less than a week, i have realized that it’s truly not that deep and there’s so much out there to learn and so many people to meet and so many ways i will change and grow. you are the one who defines how your life will go, and while thats a bit intimidating- it’s also comforting because you can quite literally choose your own adventure and so the things that make you happy and live according to your rules- you don’t have to follow someone else’s manual or some structured system! every stage of life has its own unique aspects and benefits, and I truly feel so privileged for having the opportunity to be alive and go through them all and learn- anyway reminder to anyone who also struggles with the fear of the unknown/change/growing up. I’m so excited for the next stage in my life yipppeeee!

🎉9 - started playing trombone, was the first yr i wasn‘t moving around between schools (district lines and stuff are stupid and classist), the jack johnson/curious george song was popping off (other good songs too obv), and spent my days playing on the lawn with my friends and talking to my crush until i got my seat moved. True bliss!
21 - Got to live in seattle for an internship, came back to LA and had my own room and only one roommate(!), was slutting myself out (i wanted to seriously date but the girls i was with didnt want anything serious, so i had to just go with it), going out with friends most of the week, and i had my whole career set up post graduation from undergrad! then covid hit so it went downhill but it allowed me to be more thoughtful about myself and my future
25 - that cortex development went crazy and I finally feel the most together I’ve ever felt. Really leaned into trying out all the hobbies I can to figure out what I like. Have a newfound appreciation for existing and knowing more of what i want from me and my relationships. Truly can’t wait to keep growing up!

🚙On buses and in uber there s always music playing but my grandpa only drives in silence. And that makes me think of this age of entertainment and how we bring extra stimulation in even the most mundane tasks.

☎️I ve been against social media since i was young but not because i had a certain awerness about it s effects. Ut s just that i never understood why people felt the need to post things to "let their friends know how they re doing". Couldn t they just text them?
Even with this confusion i still spent a looong time on social media, but without posting anything. I felt i had to, because all my friends kept refrencing things i didn t understand and i felt stupid. But after years following that mindset i decided it s better to not understand certain trends than to have my mind clouded by short form content. And i m glad i did and do not miss it.
Now i watch movies and read books, watch video essays on yt, listen to new music i stumble upon and it s more fun than scrolling for hours.

Ever since i started listening to music i ve been mesmerized by AURORA's singing and her powerful lyricism. She s an advocate for everyone that doesn t have a voice, a beautiful person inside and out.
The seed is one of my fav songs of hers and i belive it s relevent to what s going on in the world right now
