And the days went by

Reflections of a new adult.

Please keep in mind that english is not my first language.

It´s been almost a year since i turned 18, and i have been noticing a few things about being an adult: it seens that once you turn 18 everything had to be boring and basic, i have the feeling that this pressure to became a white piece of paper is more intense when you are a woman, of course this is just an assumption, but basically, once you turn eighteen you no longer can like anything that is colorfull, full of characters, all you talks need to be about "adult topics" such as marriage, children, college, and don´t get me wrong, we need to talk about these things, but why should it be only about that? why can´t we keep talking about TV shows and the new Characters we created like we used to do just a year ago?

A few days ago i was on instagram when i saw a post that brought a certain topic: Infantilization and female fashion, it was basically a critic about adult woman who wear hair bows, claiming that they were infantilizing themselves, the tihing is: this is not the first time i saw that discussion, it had became quite common in the instagram accounts of influencers in my coutry, and honestly it haunts me, bows, pink and lace has been part of woman´s fashion for centuries, why it sudently became a sign of childishness? Why once we turn 18 we have to became generic clean girls? Nothing agaisnt the clean girls, i´m just nos very founding of the slickback hairstyles. 

Honestly this is just me venting about something that´s been hauting me in the last days, do you feel this way to? Do you ever felt that wonce you turned an legal adult you had to abandon all your hobbies and interests in order to be taken seriously? Let me know. 

Abou the bow and adult woman discussion: It had became a common discussion here in my country, if you are not Brazilian you may not be familiar with such topic.
