i want to stay 16 for good.

it's now that i feel like an actual teenager.

and i no longer have to hear,

"you have to wait till you're 16" anymore.

and it feels really good,

and it also feels really depressing.

because why aren't i as smart and as pretty as 16-year-old rory gilmore yet?

and now that i'm 16,

i don't feel so guilty,

for wanting to be in a relationship,

because even though,

i'm still relatively young... i'm sixteen.

and i remember younger me so desperately wanted all of the boyfriends and girlfriends in the world for 16-year-old me.

i don't think i ever want to be 17.

i don't care to be the dancing queen.

because then i'd have to start thinking about 18.

and i don't really wanna think about the rest for now.

i just wanna be only this forever,

sixteen with no pressure.
