I used to read these coming of age fanfictions and stories between maybe 13 and 16 and each time I slogged through the bittersweetness of growing up alongside each character I told myself I wouldn’t have to let it be that bitter. I could escape being a boring adult. But I’m 3 months from 20 and for the past year? year and a half? I’ve felt the oldest I’ve ever been.
