I turn 18th tonight. It was such a blast to have this whole album as my 17th anthem last year. Now I'm writing this as I think of myself last year when I tried to get out of my comfort zone and survive a quarter-life crisis that had me gone insane. Thank you Olivia, this album really hit close to home. Mad, sad, broken heart, empty, overthinking, anxious all the emotions, especially this song and jealousy, jealousy. They are so relatable that I would go cry and scream on top of my lungs every time I listen to those songs. I'm really really lucky to have you as my teenage memories liv!šš¦

Lyrics:
I want it to be, like, messy
I'm so insecure, I think
That I'll die before I drink
And I'm so caught up in the news
Of who likes me, and who hates you
And I'm so tired that I might
Quit my job, start a new life
And they'd all be so disappointed
'Cause who am I, if not exploited?
And I'm so sick of 17
Where's my fucking teenage dream?
If someone tells me one more time
"Enjoy your youth, " I'm gonna cry
And I don't stick up for myself
I'm anxious and nothing can help
And I wish I'd done this before
And I wish people liked me more
All I did was try my best
This the kind of thanks I get?
Unrelentlessly upset (ah, ah, ah)
They say these are the golden years
But I wish I could disappear
Ego crush is so severe
God, it's brutal out here
(Yeah!)
I feel like no one wants me
And I hate the way I'm perceived
I only have two real friends
And lately, I'm a nervous wreck
'Cause I love people I don't like
And I hate every song I write
And I'm not cool and I'm not smart
And I can't even parallel park
All I did was try my best
This the kind of thanks I get?
Unrelentlessly upset (ah, ah, ah)
They say these are the golden years
But I wish I could disappear
Ego crush is so severe
God, it's brutal out here
(Yeah! Just having a really good time)
Got a broken ego, broken heart (it's brutal out here, it's brutal out here)
And God, I don't even know where to start

For all you teenagers out there freaking out that you're doing life wrong, I'm gonna let you in on a little secret that I wish to god someone had told me. Adulthood is really just day to day bullshitting and imposter syndrome. We're all just bumbling through life and love pretending like we know what the hell is going on and what to do it about it.
The only difference between adulthood and being a teenager is bigger consequences for not keeping your shit together, somewhat better control over emotions thanks to our brains fully finishing development of the prefrontal cortex, and the thankful upside of gradually liking yourself and being more comfortable in your own skin that gets stronger with every year past 23. So don't worry, we don't know what the hell we're doing either, we are just as big of an emotional dumpster fire, you aren't doing it wrong and all your friends, parents, teachers, etc feel exactly the same way as you do, even if they don't want to admit it.

this fucking song is the most relatable song about being a teenager ever, like wanting to scream and cry and shout but also not really caring
