    Of the list of things I’m struggling with as I’m getting older, this is pretty fuckin low on the list.

    Like, I understand the adults in my life as a teenager and why they didn’t really give a shit about what I thought about certain things. I was young and stupid and didn’t know shit about shit.

      I was stupid when I was a kid, especially at times, but also I clearly remember situations where I was like 8 and still know to this date that the adults were drastically in the wrong and I was completely right. It was insanely early for me when I learned that adults were wrong as shit sometimes. What took me a very long time to accept though, is that often people do not care if they’re actually wrong, they’re more concerned with feeling/acting right. When you’re a kid especially, these types of people love to steamroll you.
