Preteen me vs me Now
Preteen Me:
Trying so hard to be a straight cis girl
Me Now:
Accepting that I’m an agender lesbian
(Joined this thread on Twitter and decided to bring it to Tumblr)
Now some background:
Looking back on my preteen years to now, I’m really happy that I accepted myself and feel comfortable to dress how I want to/be who I am. I no longer feel the need to guilt myself because I don’t fit into the bubble that my family expects me to be in. I don’t want to be that person anymore who just was what people expected them to be and wasn’t sure why they were so sad. I’m so happy and grateful that I can be myself now.
Here is the Picrew if you want to do this too:

Preteen me: more cheerful, more willing to wear shorts and tank tops, tried my hardest to be friends with anyone who talked to me, and obvious to everything around me, this is the me that helped drive 3 teachers over the course of three years so mad they quit.
Me now: trying to figure out my sexuality, doesn’t wear glasses because I’m stubborn, hates having long hair becaue short is so much easier, awkward, will try to make friends if you look lonely, refuses to wear tank tops and shorts becaue I feel weird despite living in south Florida, bullied alot less now than I was then.

Preteen Me: More cheerful and surrounded by toxic friends without knowing it, thought I was bi, more into anime around this time, had really big ambitions that were plans with my ‘friends’. Hadn’t dyed my hair before at all, talked a lot and loved making friends, didn’t really pay attention to what was going on in the world, and had a tendency to sometimes speak what’s on my mind.
Me now: Free of those toxic friendships, insomnia ridden, high schooler with little friends, love life is nonexistent, dyed my hair bout twice now, nose piercing and tattoo, finally figured out I was ace, planning to enlist in the military, a huge band geek, has a huge f**king mouth and don’t care what people think anymore imma be me, smart, majorly insecure, deals with the everyday life of having ADHD, I hate majority of everyone in my school, and I give off the ‘f**k off leave me alone’ vibes to people.
I was a quiet preteen girl who basically hid their right eye because this dumbass literally shaved off half their eyebrow. I even wore a headband really. I was a quiet girl who did was still friends with the girls I went to elementary school although I was still shy. Always wore a sweater no matter the weater and pants.
I smile more and grew my hair out, even not trying to cut my bangs back to normal. Now comfortable knowing I’m bisexual. I’m now comfortable with smiling and such. A bit of a loner now tbh.
From shy little girl who only wears what her mother wants to and tries to fit in (alright I kinda miss my Happy-go-Lucky self) (and totally think she’s straight)
To bisexual (or omnisexual i’m not sure yet) girl who’s ready to kick some asses and hide some claws and fangs behind her sweet attitude ! Like you know even if I kinda miss who I used to be at times (from extrovert to introvert !) I’m happy of the person I became.
Preteen: Didn’t know what I liked, had people issues, short and chubby, hated glasses, bullied a lot, didn’t want to be a know it all, had little friends and tried hard to impres people.
Me now: Has a lot of interests, trust instead of people issues(I’m working on it) has to wear glasses, a group of friends, flaunt my knowledge, tall and chubby, has a friend group, bullied still but will talk back at them.

Basically all that happened was I went half blind, grew out my bangs, and fluff up my hair more

Younger me
Young, naive girl. Don't know what else to say.
Older me
Finally understood how shitty the world is, got sick of selflessly helping everyone, not a fan of their biological parents, bad sleeping schedule, bad eyesight, self doubt and low self-esteem. Yeah, sounds like me.
