Do we all agree that it is one of the worst ages that you can have?
I’m a Spanish female, but my parents are from Romania. I am expected to be almost an adult. In Romania, I am one.
BUT here, it is so weird and awkward. I’m expected to be an adult, then to act like a teen the rest of the time. I’ve been called ‘too mature for my age’ since I was 8, (yes, it sounds… bad) and it just becomes more and more awkward that my personality can’t be seen as common and usual. It seems to be easier to accept in Romania, but I get strange, confused glances from people whenever I express myself, talk about myself or speak respectfully.
I know, I shouldn’t care. No, I don’t feel alone.
It’s not that I don’t fit. (I hope I do?), I have a lot of friends. Everyone likes me and people search for my presence in their lives, because I do enjoy social interactions.
Still, I can’t dress, talk, express myself the way I want to. I’m always, ALWAYS judged if I do, but people accept it over time, that I’m not simple. I love elegant and reserved ambients, but until today, I have made everyone feel free, comfortable and eager to interact with me.
Now, I can’t do much but hum “That’s life”, shrug it off and keep trying to balance my mindset with the youth that I never projected. I’m eager to be older.
