At 18, a 22 year old was an old man to me

Jesus fuck girl what? That's like the perfect age gap??

I'm not downplaying creepy ass old men hitting on teenagers but that's fuckin wild

I’m aware of the small difference now, but when I had just turned 18, I was in high school. I had no concept of anything even remotely adult. I didn’t even know how to make a bowl of ramen. 22 year olds had their own apartment, some worked full time jobs, fed themselves independently, they could drink, it was a whole world that seemed so removed and adult to me.
