CLASSIC TENNIS BRACELET

I feel so bad for the 13 year old girls of today

A long rant about “aesthetics”

I was once 13, and I participated in countless of trends, but I still felt like I had a little freedom and individuality at that age.

But it feels like 13 year olds now NEED to fit into a mold COMPLETELY to fit in???

Scrolling on TikTok is so scary. Seeing these teens just completely form themselves into an “aesthetic” is so sickening and bizarre! I feel so bad..

Where’s the personality? Their own identity?

Again, I was 13 too, and i understand the struggles of finding yourself, but there’s seriously no need to force yourself into a mold!

The “clean girl aesthetic” is what makes me the most sickest. Like a 13 year old girl revamping her closet to such plain clothes, getting rid of any childhood memories in her room, having the same ‘aura posters,’ a plain phone wallpaper, and the list goes on.

I’m tearing up on the fact of these girls getting rid of things from childhood and preferring just plain, blank, and white.

There’s nothing wrong with liking the “clean girl aesthetic.” It’s something these 13 year old’s like. Yay interests! But it’s the fact that they’re forcing themselves into a mold and forcing themselves to embody the aesthetic like their life depends on it.

To the 13 year old girls: There’s nothing wrong with liking multiple, different things!

I have a marvel calendar on my cork board that has a pink zebra print frame that I ducktaped myself, I have a disco ball pillow along with Sanrio and Justin Bieber pillows, I have white sheets, I like doing a full beat of makeup, I play Valorant, I have Y2K bags, I have Star Wars keychains on my college backpack, I have sailor moon manga, I have multiple Ariana Grande perfumes, I enjoy talking about mental health, I have uggs and hokas but I also have “emo” boots and wedge sneakers circa 2014, my playlist can go from Harry Styles, Sabrina Carpenter, Kali Uchis to Korn, Deftones, Loathe, my laptop stickers have Star Wars and “preppy” flowers to Sanrio to Gigi Hadid, I sip from my Stanley or pink Hydroflask whilst I talk about the new Deadpool movie and can’t wait to watch It Ends With Us.

I like what I like.

I’m turning 20 this year and I’ve gone through SO MANY identity crisis — and I’ll still have plenty of identity crisis in the future. So, there’s no need to “find yourself” at just 13 years old! Just enjoy your interests, like what you like, whenever you like, etc.

Don’t force yourself into a mold

(I hope what I said in this post made sense)

mentally here!
