There's something about that photo...
Before I scrolled enough to see the bottom of it and also notice that there's a neck in there, it looked kinda dirty in the corner of my eye.
and yeah, i'm feeling the same way right now. i'm in the same position you're in, mainly because i also am mature beyond my years. even as a child, i never played with people my age, and to this day, i can't stand being around people my age, i'd rather hang out with the older, cool kids. sometimes i put unneeded pressure on myself because my expectations of myself and my life are those of people older than me, and i lose sight of how young i am and how much life i have left to live.
Sometimes even the strongest among us need to lean on someone. We can't be strong 1000% of the time. (Yes, I intended three zeros in there.) If you need to curl up, curl up. Don't worry so much about people "counting" on you. Sometimes you have to look out for yourself.
As far as life being confusing... you're damn right on that. Sometimes it takes a while to straighten out. You'll get it, though. You'll figure it out.
I know exactly what you mean about acting our age... sometimes its just needed. Love your necklace and next time you bake emocake let me know I'd like a slice with icing on please
Oh, it's like 12k or something. I dunno. That's for shit jobs like cold calling and such. Nic's new position is entry level, sure, but it means big things for her future. essentially, the more experience she gains here in Brighton, the more she'll be worth to marketing types in London, who will obviously piss money all over you at the drop of a hat.
But you are right, you are going through so much that others of us have without the added pressure of being friends with all us foggies.
