This "you're too old for this" mentality is making me angry to the point I want to cry. There's this Stitches plush toy I want to get on my birthday next week but I feel like again, it won't happen thanks to that dumb mentality. May I ask, what is wrong with having one? It's not like it's going to hurt me or anything. What you're doing is literally blocking me from being happy on the day that I'll celebrate on my birthday. Sure, there may be some things that could make me happy on that day, but it's not going to be enough to erase my sadness. I don't ask for stuff very often and those times where I do, I'm denied on wanting so harmless? It's ridiculous. Life is already gonna get bumpy and adult life will be something else. I'm gonna be leaving my teen years very soon and this is how it's gonna be wrapped it up... I really want to cry so hard right now but I have to hide it because I could be seen as "overdramatic" over something so little. Maybe I should cry myself to sleep instead and just mature into a boring adult. I know, it's silly but can't you make a guy be genuinely happy?
