-GS, San Francisco
Ever since I was a little boy, I’ve always been so impatient to grow up. Now that I am about to be a legal adult in a couple of months, I regret ever thinking about that at all.
I’m fighting charges now and it’s not going to be just a couple of months if they charge me as an adult, which is what I am looking at. Now, I have a baby on the way which means I have to really think about what I want to do with my life as soon as I get out of here. It is extremely scary because it feels like my life fast-forwarded from the age of thirteen until now and I have barely made any improvements.
If anything, I have just dug myself into a deeper hole. It’s going to take me even longer to be able to adapt to adulthood. I miss being thirteen living life with little to no consequences every day, but I know there is no going back.
