    My kid thinks I’m cool, which to a teenager is probably the lamest thing in the world. They don’t know what’s good.

        I’m pushing 40, if there was social media or whatever around when i was 14, i think my life would be way different and i’m so happy it wasn’t. I don’t even blame teens, they hardly even have a chance to be themselves. I used to work for that woman that was roughly my age, maybe a year or two older, and her look and her house just screamed: “I’M STILL 20” she had something between 3 and 5 kids, i couldn’t really tell. She said she made Instagram, tiktok accounts and whatever for all of them as soon as possible so they have the “good” usernames and it’s their birthday present when they turn 12. These kids are fucked. Sidenote, the creepiest thing about her house was that all her and her childrens pictures have these absurd beauty filters and they were cranked up to the point where no one had a nose on their pictures. It was like looking at tinder for minors.
