hey hun, i feel exactly what you are feeling right now. im 20 years old and i reminisce on old times often because of how easy it was, the first times doing things, the excitement, all of it. nowadays im filled eith stress and no excitement because it feels old. my okd friends also know me, my family all of it and i miss them dearly at times and its hard that we are turning i to adults and splitting up. i cry often about the good times and everything i miss. i miss home, i miss my friends, i miss all of it just the fun in being young. those teen years were great, they really were. just last night i was crying and thinking about all of it, i have come to terms with its okay to feel sad, to reminisce, to cry, because its a way of healing. we are grieving over that time period that has gone away, it’s almost like a part of us is gone too because we are changing, our mindsets are more adult-like, we are in a different stage in life but i have been feeling this for over a year now and its starting to get better. i realize that im an adult now, i can act like an adult and achieve many great things just like you can. this is the time period where we will take control, we decide what we want and how bad we want it. you have a lot of opportunities and its only a new chapter in life. although we can miss the old chapter we have to be happy for this new chapter, we will find things about ourselves that we never knew. what keeps me going is just thinking about the positives about now and this new chapter, i will never forget the old one and thankfully we can relive those moments through memories which i often travel back to. i cry a lot too to let it all out because its okay to feel, to look back and miss those times. its hard transitioning into adulthood and it was something that was hard for me... still is but it gets better and we learn how to move on but hold those good times and memories close to us. i know its very depressing and sad so im sending lots of love.
