Ages

im 16 years old riding a razr scooter down the side of the highway

‍

im 18 in a golden corral in wichita, kansas staring at the chocolate wonderfall

thinking about how much it sucks that everything i like is bad for me

‍

im 21 and im typing "yeah i been hurt" into my tinder bio

im 22 and me and you just arent working out anymore

‍

im 23 having an argument about someone in the comments section of a nature video about whether wolves really can be in love or not

‍

im 25 and im telling everyone i meet that i meet that i have no regrets

‍

im 27 and wondering why you would even say you had no regrets

why even say it at all

why not focus on something else

‍

im 30 and instant steel cut oatmeal is on sale 2 for $5 at the grocery store

‍

im 33 and you and me may not have been meant to be

but i learned a lot anyway even though im dumb as hell sometimes

im working on it

‍

im 35 and i realize that i dont have all that much time left to be alive

‍

im 39 and most of the time i feel fine

but other times i feel like i need something and just can't quite put my finger on it

‍

im 41 and im just tired

‍

im 46 and i find myself wishing things would go back to the way they used to be

when i had more energy and i felt genuinely surprised more often

even if it was bad a lot of times

‍

im 14 and i just bought an eighth of oregano off my friends older brother

and im going to spend the rest of the afternoon trying to smoke it out of a corn cob pipe by the creek until i figure it out

im 9 years old and i like baseball because my dad does

im 5 and i like dinosaurs because thats what i like

‍

im 65 and i like dinosaurs again because thats what he likes
