Ok, let's start this Blog off right: With a good ol' Woe-is-me rant!
I am 22 years old. I'm an adult. When will the time come where I'm considered an actual adult and the term 'Cute' will no longer qualify as a label for me? Don't get me wrong - I've accepted the fact that I'm small-framed and face looks like a 15-year-old's (minus the acne)...hell, I have the word 'wee' to describe myself in my email address. What I wanna know is when other adults (even those my age) will understand that they're essentially talking down to me. Calling me 'Cute' when I've done something, Said something, WORN something that these people perceive to be 'cute' is belittling me, in my mind.
Now, I'm sure that to anyone else, I'm just over-analyzing this and reacting to something that, in their minds, 'didn't even mean anything' when it was said, but being called the same thing that babies, baby things, and baby animals are called just gets under my skin.
Do I look like a baby? Do I look like a 22-year-old baby? If so, I better reconsider my makeup regime, low-cut shirts, and ass-hugging, low-rise jeans. I'll alert the other babies, they should know as well...
