you aren't wasting your childhood

I'm not 'wasting' my childhood.


You're not 'wasting' your childhood.



But I still tend to feel judged.












what is your childhood?


  1. This is an awesome post! I totally needed this. :)

    My childhood would mostly involve playing out in the sunshine with my younger sis, reading book after book (which I still do, perhaps even more so now), and drawing smiley faces all over my school books.

    1. Thank you, Chloe! I'm happy you liked the post :)

      And same on reading!! It's one thing that I have never stopped doing.

  2. OKAY WOW BLOWN AWAY. This was incredible and I completely relate to this.

  3. This is an absolutely gorgeous and incredibly important post. <3 I think it's one of my favorites ever posted on this entire site, honestly. One question: did you take the photo? If so, you're insanely talented, holy cow! If not, where did you find it?

    1. Aaaah thank you Ellie! I'm really glad that you liked it.

      And sorry to disappoint you, but I didn't take it! I'm not a photographer. I found it in Unsplash! It's where I find all of the photos I use for my posts :)

  4. Ahh, I love this. Every experience we've ever had has made us into who we are today. Nothing is a waste. <3

  5. Thank you. Thank you thank you thank you. I love this so much.

  6. I hope you did a mic drop after writing this. Because wow---BOMB!

  7. Um, YES!!! I took ballet too... and stuck with it. The childhood hobby became an adolescent passion which became an adult job, so yes. Our creative childhoods are not wasteful.

  8. I love this. So much. I just... Can't even say how much this helped me. Thank you.
