Mel - That feeling of not wanting to grow up hits home. There’s a freedom and simplicity in childhood that adulthood can never fully replicate. But maybe growing up doesn’t mean losing that part of ourselves—it’s about carrying forward the wonder and curiosity, even as responsibilities grow. It’s okay to hold onto those childlike parts while navigating the adult world.
From one girl to another, I'm also in this limbo, one that I find myself coming out of as the closest person I've hung on to has changed and morphed into something and someone I don't understand and don't want to know. I have learned that it is hard to let someone go out of respect for you because it is necessary for your peace. I hope your journey has been coming along, wishing you the best
"I am tied to this past with a fine string and sometimes I can feel the pressure it makes on my wrists." this is such a lovely line and it really hit home. you articulate these feelings of loneliness in a new place and part of your life and the fear of change so well and i completely relate to this. wishing you all the best in this time of transition and hoping you find more and more joy in the process soon 💕
