      Same. That and realizing that I could just buy and eat chips whenever I liked rather than wait for parties.

      I really wish I’d had that realisation a few years later or had the simultaneous realisation that just because I could didn’t mean that I should 😄

        As a kid I thought I’d buy chips all the time when I grow up, but I don’t. It’s just not the the same. Maybe it’s the crushing responsibilities of being an adult, maybe a money saving thing, I don’t know

      The worst part is knowing you had it since childhood but your parents were like nah, or just too poor.

      “You were so great with all that but always had troubles focusing! You should’ve finished college rather or programmed those video games you love so much! You were always a night owl like me!” As she vibrates her leg so much her bfs used to yell at her about it, let alone me lol.

      … Yeah mom. Yeah. Love you too.

      Things are a whole lot better when you aren’t tired every morning and afternoon or aren’t clutching on bad drug/booze habits lol.

      Fucking thank God for amphetamines though. Imagining if I had those in high school and beyond just makes me pissed lol.
