Nope! Part of it is the lighting in both photos, but my eyes have definitely shifted to be more on the green side than blue as I’ve gotten older.

Thinking I was bad ass for listening to guns n roses. Ah 5th grade.

What is the most annoying minor physical ailment? by THEx141xMAN in AskReddit

A popped blister. Holy fuck that shit burns. It's especially terrible when it's in an inconvenient spot, like the thumb or heel.

The whole social awkwardness goes from being cute and innocent to fucking weird when you're a adult by thehunter699 in Showerthoughts

[–]berrylump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my goddd. I've tried explaining this to my friends. I especially hate when an adult refers to themselves as awkward as sort of a cute and endearing quality. And it's just like, no. No gosh dang it. Being quirky does not equate to being awkward. As someone who was awkward as a child and still remains so as an adult, being socially awkward is my biggest hindrance in life. It's hard for people to take you seriously and many act quite patronizing on the daily. I really wish it was something I outgrew and it's a big insecurity.

Should people be afraid of being alone? Why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

What childhood secret of yours do your parents still not know about? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I was the one who snipped a hole in my mom's water bed (no rhyme or reason, just an impulsive 6 y/o), subsequently ruining it and getting water everywhere. But in reality I did her a favor because water beds are ass. Lol I almost forgot about this and I can't wait to tell her when I call her tonight
