Growing up has never been harder…

Keeping your GPA above a 3.5. Making a TikTok worthy of your main account. Finding a partner who you want to post and who wants to post you. Trying to get into the perfect college. Arguing with your parents. Trying to figure out when you and your siblings stopped being close. Rushing from school to work. Somehow getting enough volunteer hours for that advanced diploma. Making new friends after yours switched up. Figuring out your personal style. Trying not to get cancelled. Learning to drive and convincing your parents to lend you the car. Speaking in front of the class. Going to your first party. Feeling like you’re the only one who can’t seem to get it together. Trying a new sport after losing your spark for the one you’ve loved your whole life. Breaking up. Getting broken up with. Figuring out your gender identity. Trying to sleep enough while also doing all of the things you want to do. Living with the constant feeling that everyone hates you. Feeling like time is running out before you have to make real, adult decisions and life stops being fun. On, and on, and on.
