funny how growing up feels like losing versions of yourself

Just had this thought hit me out of nowhere. Remember who you used to be at 15? Or even 18? GONE. It's like you shed those skins and become someone new, but there's a part of you that kinda mourns the old one, even if you're better now. It's kinda sad but also kinda necessary? Vibe check for anyone else feeling this existential dread? Pls tell me I'm not the only one. #growingup #adultingishard #existentialcrisis #genzthings #lostmyself #whathappenedtome

No cap, OP. This hits DIFFERENT. It's like you're constantly rebooting your character, and sometimes you miss the old save files. 😭 I legit think about my middle school self and I'm like, who WAS that person? Wild.

Fr tho!! I miss the version of me that thought having a crush was the BIGGEST problem in the world. Now it's like, rent, taxes, career choices, mental health... send help. RIP to the carefree me. 🕊️
