18
I just turned eighteen. I’m not sure why, but I just never wanted to turn 18. It seems like such a solid and final number. The end of an era, the closing of an age that contained childhood, adolescence, teenage fusses and everything in between. There was drama, friendship, love and infatuation; tears, overwhelming emotions and overriding obsessions. But nothing serious and nothing daunting. Just a freedom and seemingly endless youth. But 18 marks the end of too many adrenaline-filled years and I think it’s funny that I’m an adult now. I don’t think I’ll ever think of myself as an adult.
I know this is slightly more depressing than your average “OMG I’m 18!!” posts, and I’m sorry for not updating and then posting this crap. It’s just been some tough long days full of studying and I think my brain is holding too much redundant shizzle. Talk to you again when I’m sane, lovelies. kisses.
happy happy 18th! x
hah i know what you mean. but then again, i'm turning 17 soon… 17 is like nonsense age. it's not 16, and not 18. just right in the middle.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY (:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! Wahooooo 😀
(love that photo) Don't worry you never have to be an adult, I'm 22 and I'm still a child 😉

18 is not bad. Wait till you turn 20. Then the adulthoodness of it all will dawn on you.
Wow!
You look really gorgeous!

ohh happy birthday! i thought the same thing when turning 18….so over-hyped. my initial thought was, i never have to worry again to be asked for my ID, but in fact, nobody had wanted to see it for the past few years now, so it really doesn't matter.
18 is great, it's the 'just got legal' thing, so no adult-pressure! 
hah, just think of the big ol' 20! i recently hit the weak spot, marking the END OF THE TEENAGE ERA, it was terrifying. being asked "how old are you?" – "20." gahh. it just gets downhill from here.
oh screw me, what kind of depressing shit am i writing here? be happy and celebrate!
happy happy birthday again! :~) xx
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEAR!! and don't worry, life gets only better
we also thought it will kind of "end" when we turn 18, but as u can see, we are still here and we still don't behave like adults :))
you look gorgeous on the photo, as always!
have a lovely birthday!

Oh yes, turn eighteen is overwhelming (for me it was).
Good luck with your exams
Don't worry about not being a kid… and 18 isn't exactly an adult haha.
As a 20 year-old, I can assure you that the best is yet to come.
I don't find it depressing at all to be honest!
You do have a point, and I think all of us ponder about this sometimes when the time of the year comes to remind us that we are reaching a certain age…
Hopefully, you'll find a lot of new doors open being 18, having less boundaries of rules and all.
Congratulations! and nice picture
happy birtheday, and I get what you mean. I'm scared to turn 18 too, even though it's not for a few years yet, haha x

Happy Birthday! If it's any consolation I felt exactly the same, and still feel too young to deal with some of the stuff I have to x
Happy birthday Jin!
I know, it's scary, but just remember living young! There's no rush. It's just an age. I'm 22, and I still feel young as ever
Looking forward to your next posts
Good luck with schoolwork too btw.
oh come on … I'm 28 and I can't even begin to tell you how much better and happier I feel than I did 10 years ago. don't dwell on it, just enjoy it. happy birthday!

I feel exactly the same way… But hey, congrats! 😉
Felt the same way when I turned 18! Now I'm 19 and I finally got over the 18-thing (however: I sometimes forget I'm 19 and tell people I'm 18) but jeez… I don't wanna turn 20 this year!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GORGEOUS
Congratulations ! x
Happy birthday! Yeah, turning 18 wasn't the greatest because it seems like ages stop mattering after that, but honestly it doesn't have much of an impact on your day to day life. Plus, as long as you can't think of yourself as an adult, then you don't really quite become one, haha! Pretty sure being adult is more state of mind than anything.
I think it's great to be 18, can buy alcohol, legally go to clubs.. i'm more afraid to tun 20, because then you're not teen and this is not fair !
hell, a big girl
and happy belated birthday!:)
Happy (belated?) birthday!
I don't think it's weird you feel kind of mixed about turning 18 – I know I will, when the time comes.
But I once read a wonderful quote that said, "Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional."
And with that in mind, I'm sure you adrenaline-filled days are not over just yet :]
Happy 18th birthday!
I totally feel the same like you! I think it's kind of scary that I'm eighteen now, I wish that I was a little 6 year old girl

I'm 18 too, don't worry, you'll survive it!
Anyway, Happy birthday!!
You have such a nice blog and spectacular photos! Love it! I'm following you! Kisses 😀
Happy 18th birthday!!
I agree with the first comment on this post, turning 17 soon, too (well.. in case you consider 3 months soon) and it's just a weird age. :/

congrats on turning 18:) a whole other chapter is about to evolve.. growing is fun.. just need to get the hang of it:)
thanks everyone!
it's pretty cool hearing about your experiences/fears of turning 18
and i'm not implying it's old or fun-less at all. just that it's the start of the rest of a rollercoaster ride 😀

Happy birthday! I totally feel the same way when it comes to being older. I don't want to be 18 yet, haha! But I'm sure this year will be just as fun, if not better
xx raez
Aw, happy 18th! Hope you had a FABULOUS day x
Happy birthday! And cute picture!

happy birthday darling!
you look so cute in that photo
hope you're having a wonderful weekend

i had a mid-life crisis at 18; i spent 300 dollars on vintage boots from urban outfitters. despite beginning my 18th year behind on rent, it turned out to be a real run-through-the-streets time of life, and at 19, i can honestly say it just keeps getting better.
also: lovely picture
Happy birthday!
I was okay with turning 18.. just really not looking forward to 19.
