Growing (Literally and Figuratively) Can Be Scary...

Gewd morning everybody! Welcome or welcome back to A Tall Girl’s Podcast! So glad you’re here. Before I get into this episode, I do want to remind you to check out my socials @atallgirlspodcast on Instagram, TikTok, and Pinterest to stay updated on all of the latest podcast episodes and catch a glimpse of my everyday life :) 

I don’t know if I even told y’all this, but a few days ago, I visited my high school. Again. Yes, I’m one of those who, even after 3 years, still visit their high school. But what can I say? Even though a lot of bad, borderline traumatic events happened there, I still consider it my safe space…for the most part. When I’m in the right offices with the right teacher(s) and right staff, I feel better. 

But when I visited, everyone looked exactly the same. No one changed one bit and it SCARES ME. They all look exactly how I left them. And I mentioned this to one of my old teachers and she was like “this place is like the fountain of youth; it keeps us young.” And I’m just sitting there like bro were you not just complaining about how these kids were stressing you out and giving you wrinkles and gray hair???? LOL.  

Anyways, during my time there, a lot of my old teachers were asking me how old I was. So, I would respond that I’m 21. It felt like whatever to say that because I’ve accepted the fact that I turned 21 years old. I celebrated, I feel 21, and I’ve spent a lot of time with myself for it to not seem weird. But when I told them my age, they looked SHOCKED. Like in utter dismay. And they asked “You’re 21????” and I’m just like yes, and what about it???? 

After a while though, it really just hit me how much time has flown by. I’m about to be a senior in college. I’m about to move on into the real world. And it feels like just yesterday, I was a 15-year-old in my high school class. 

How exactly am I coping with this revelation??? Tune in below to the full episode!
