ppl are so annoyingΒ βyou canβt paint ur bedroom pink youβre an adultβ i did not spend my entire life waiting to grow up and control my life to paint my bedroom beige
I had a sales woman in furniture store try and tell me not to buy a hot bubblegum pink loveseat because she wanted me to βthink about the futureβ
Bitch, I am thinking about the future. I already got a hot bubblegum pink couch at home and now I need a loveseat to go with it.
when I first bought my house, I announced my decision to paint my bedroom purple. I had wanted a purple bedroom for thirty damn years, you fucking bet I was gonna have one now. My friends decided, for some reason, that I meant what one of them referred to as β14 year old girl purpleβ (through whatβs wrong with the colors a 14 year old girl chooses, I donβt know, even if theyβre not what I want as an adult). They didnβt believe me until they saw the color on the actual wall, even thought they helped me pick out paints. My mother, meanwhile, decided to get worried that if I painted my bedroom a βdark purpleβ, it would be βdepressingβ. As if, with an entire house to live in, I would spend all my time in the bedroom, which I wanted to be dark because I would be sleeping in there. In the damn dark.
I had like one, maybe two friends who were all like FUCK YEAH YOU PAINT IT WHATEVER COLOR YOU WANT, PURPLE BEDROOMS ARE AWESOME.
But when they actualy saw the finished bedroom, every single one of them was like, βOh yeah, thatβs really pretty.β (Well, the ones who supported me from the beginning were more like WOOHOO.)
And the moral of the story is: Fuck βem, please yourself. Either theyβll come around, or you can safely ignore every question of taste they opine about for the rest of time.
This applies to other adulting activities, too. When I was a kid, I decided that I wanted to have a wedding cake made of doughnuts. When I got older, I figured that I would be βmatureβ about it and get a traditional cake, which the older adults approved of. Now that Iβm 25 and facing the possibility of actual marriage in the near future, Iβm just like βmarriage is a social construct but it comes with tax & insurance benefits, so just give me that goddamn doughnut cake.β If they donβt like it then they donβt have to come to my wedding.

I would like you all to view my office. Iβm thirty and my rainbow room is awesome, people can fight me
Iβm thirty and my first big furniture purchase was a custom coffin shaped coffee table that opens up and is lined with purple crushed velvet. I would have loved it at 13 and I love it now. Growing up doesnβt mean you have to abandon what makes you happy.
GROWING UP DOESNβT MEAN YOU HAVE TO ABANDON WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY.
