The old school lack of transparency on tumblr is amazing because you assume the people you follow must all be equivalent to you and then you see someone write āI brought my youngest to college todayā and someone else write āmy mom wouldnāt let me listen to Ariana Grande when I was a kidā and then your head explodes
and we need that! keeps us humble.Ā
Then I'm just like WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOUāRE AN ADULT
It goes the other way, too, because WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE A CHILD?!!
I'm 16, that's like, barely a child
I'm in my 30s. You are baby
I'm older than both of you in a trenchcoat.
honestly one of the best things we can do for ourselves is realize that people of different ages than us can still be the same kind of person as us. it's humbling and it gives everyone involved a sense of continuity, and it busts those stupid generational stereotypes media is so fond of.
