Am I the only one feeling like my teenage years have been wasted ? And didn't meet the expectations I had ?
I know I'm only turning 18, but still, I'm not ready to enter university and enter adult life, I want to do relieve these years and make them better lol 🥲

I used to feel this exact same way but I don't anymore. When I turned 18, I realized that my teenage years weren't meant for me to do spontaneous things. Those years were just meant for me to learn who I was through trial and error. I made mistakes and learned from them to become the adult I am today. And I'm glad I never tried to do anything spontaneous or spectacular with my life as a teen because that's too much stress on a child. You're going through a lot during those years with puberty, school, friendships, and relationships. So don't feel bad if you didn't do much. You were never supposed to. You were supposed to just figure out who you are, learn from your mistakes, and grow up.
And I'm not saying do this, but for me those years of being a teen were for learning and being dumb. Now I'm exploring with how I like my coffee, what alcohols I like, and how I prefer my "devil's lettuce" - but there are tons of other better things to be doing. And it's okay if you have a boring life, keeps you semi safer. :joy: At least that's what I tell myself.

Exactly! My Life is pretty dull at the moment actually, but I like it. I feel safe and I'm learning more about myself still, even as an adult. And I've been thinking about exploring things too! I'm thinking about exploring different kinds of teas and getting into writing and painting lol :joy:
I may be just 15 but I already feel that way about some years of my childhood
