I have tried to write a bit about my worries about turning 20. I don't know if this is what you wanted Vanessa but I can always change it if its not.
Turning 20-
I have never really thought about turning 20 before. I’ve put it off as
long as possible if I’m honest. I suppose I have only put it off because being
20 means to me that I am no longer the child I once was? Not that I’m
considered as one now at 19 even though I like to think that I am. There are so
many things I am worried about turning 20 such as time which is a scary thing
to think about anyway as it goes so quickly but I also think it’s the step of
no longer being able to get away with being a child or a wannabe
Disney princess. Even though I will always find a way to being one and I’m not
changing that regardless of what age I am be that 20 or 70. I always thought as
a younger me (younger me being the age when you think its ‘cool’ to be older)
that 1.it will be cool 2.I’ll be older 3.independent and 4.able to do whatever
I want which isn’t the case. Yes you have these ‘luxuries’ but it’s not as easy
as that. I think aging is one of them things where you no it’s going to happen
to you but you live in denial about it, you think it will take a long time
coming or in some cases it won’t even happen to you at all like you are the one
exception to it like a real life Peter Pan which is never the case unfortunately.
As I've grown up I have put off thinking about aging. Being a 20 year old is
weird to me somehow like any older age is I just can’t imagine it. This whole
aging thing has snuck up on me completely. I see being 20 as you are now an
adult. I'm always going to be a child/wannabe Disney princess though and no one
can change that I don’t care what age I am. 20 is just a number at the end of
the day (how cliché) and just like turning any other age will be fine I’m sure.
It’s just weird because the more I think about it the more I have realized 20
is the one age that I have been dreading and I genuinely think this is because
of this responsible ‘adult’ name that looms over it. Everyone talks about it
like you will be this adult and you must live up to it and that is some scary
shoes to fill.
