That little kid looks up to you

By: Me

Do you remember what is was like before Tumblr?
Yeah. That little kid content with playing with their toys and they had the biggest imaginations?
Remember the time before social media.
Before online hate.
A time where the only thing you had to worry about was what you wanted to wear, no matter how silly it was.
Well now you're grown.
You're older and should know better.
Dress appropriately.
Sit like a lady.
Man up.
Make me.
You watch me.
And all of a sudden WHAM.
All you want is to be that kid again.
Who can do pretty much anything they want because "they're just a kid" and "they don't know better"
Well what if I told you those unreachable standards don't exist.
You don't need them to express yourself.
Do what makes you happy, whether it be cutting your hair a certain way, or getting a piercing somewhere unusual.
Don't conform to social media's standards.
You don't need to.
Because that little kid, looks up to future you.
