I hate how I always come off as depressed whenever I'm thinking deeply about something. Let me try again.
Growing up need not be as evenly-paced as I was led to believe. Not everybody got their driver's licence as soon as they turned seventeen. Not everybody moved out as soon as they finished high school. Not everybody got an OP of less than ten. Not everybody went to university. My life is not ruined forever just because it took a freaky disastrous tangent all through my teenage years. MANY PEOPLE HAVE FREAKY DISASTROUS TANGENTS OF THEIR OWN.
80. I am grateful not to be the only person with a freaky disastrous tangent.
