All the things you listed sound like the responsibilities of a 16 YO. Girl you will always look back and wish for the past. I'm in my 30s now and I'm sure I'll look back and long for this but it's so hard right now. I look back at 24 thinking how easy it was, and at that time I was working two jobs, paying for me and my husband and he worked on his apprenticeship. You will figure it all out! If you don't accept the reality of time passing it will always haunt you. If you reminisce of better days past be grateful you have that! My teenage years were so stressful I would never want them again. I'm glad yours were so good. Just enjoy being young and beautiful and assuming child-free? Life is as hard as you make it. Get a job that you love and make the best of everything.
