    “Why the hell are we conditioned into the smooth strawberry-and-cream Mother-Goose-world, Alice-in-Wonderland fable, only to be broken on the wheel as we grow older and become aware of ourselves as individuals with a dull responsibility in life?”

    they say the world
    is a hard place, but no one mentions the gut wrenching, soul crushing, heart breaking pain it is to survive growing up. They don’t talk about how childhood is just a word now, or when it became such a fight and you have to be like the ferrous iron that flows through your veins to reach adulthood unscathed. Your first fight, your first heartbreak, your first betrayal, your first identity crisis, your first addiction. People are always talking about how children these days are so very resilient. They shouldn’t have to be. When did we start teaching our children that growing up is having to choose thousands of ways of breaking yourself in two?

    That’s the worst of growing up,
    and I’m beginning to realize it.
    The things you wanted so much
    when you were a child don’t
    seem half so wonderful to you
    when you get them.

    Parents always say "What happened to my sweet child who always came crying for help?" Well, I did what you told me to do. I grew up.

    I remember when I first joined here about 2 years ago and I was an overdramatic emo with an obsession over Black Veil Brides and I thought that everything revolved around what my friend thought. Now I'm just regular me with two good friends and I don't really care about what the other one thinks. Now whenever I look at my old quotes I want to delete them but I remember that they show me who I was vs who I am now.

    i guess one day you just kind of realise that you still have those secrets, but now you're okay with only sharing them with yourself. they aren't trapped in you anymore; they're carefully stored. they're kept.

    When I was younger I always thought that I could be someone if I tried enough; when I was younger my father said, wear a smile and show respect. When I was younger you never said that when I was older I'd feel helpless.

    "But maybe snow is just angels
    flicking ashes from their
    cigarettes down to earth,
    and the days we spend home
    from school playing in powdered
    crystals will leave us coughing
    up smoke when we turn 16.
    and the light pink dress your
    mother used to make you wear
    will turn red where it hits your
    hips and kisses the tips of
    your wrists, and your mother
    will ask you why there’s blood
    on all your clothing and you’ll
    pretend like you haven’t been
    doing drugs in the bathroom
    at school and crying so much.
    and one of these days I’ll scream
    at you to kiss me, and you’ll do it
    and we’ll both burn into the ground
    and watch our bones melt into
    nothing because we are nothing,br>
    even though we’ve got ourselves
    convinced that we’re the world.
    but at least your lips are against
    mine.
    and you don’t always feel it at
    first, but when you feel it oh god
    you feel it.
    and liquor seems like a good idea
    until it’s not.
    and you’ll get better at feeling sorry
    for yourself and bandaging cuts.
    and you’ll get better at finding
    the stars under your skin, and
    learning to breathe again.
    and you’ll lose your f*cking mind but you’ll find it.
    again,
    and again,
    and again.
    and I’m terrified of growing up, and leaving behind chapped lips and peach tasting kisses and fireworks and headaches and eyes filled with oceans pouring down your face and flooding your mouth, but I would go anywhere with you."

    Is there really a second chance? I mean, is it possible to start over? It obviously doesn’t just happen overnight. You don’t forget, and there will always be something that reminds you of what happened before? I mean yes you can change your hair, your entire wardrobe, where you go to school, the people you talk to, what you do, and how you act, but is it really a new start? Is it a new chance at life?

    We all wanted to grow up so fast,
    and then when we were grown
    our only wish was to be young again...
