I'm an 18 year old girl and I love Transformers. I love the shows, the movies, and the toys.
I recently got a Starscream Transformers Prime actions figure and want to save up for a G1 Starscream action figure.
I don't have a job, I don't feel like I'm ready for one, and I only get an allowance of ten dollars each week.
Today, my Mom told me that I should be saving my money for stuff for collage since "An 18 year old shouldn't really be playing with Transformers toys."
Her comment really hurt me and I'm not talking to her for the moment. I know I'm 18 and I know that collage is coming up and I know it's expensive. I just....why is it that I can't enjoy my obsessions any more? Because I'm now 18? Because adults shouldn't play with toys or admire them?
If that's what I have to do, then I really don't want to be an adult.
So...what do you guys think? Should I squash my obsessions and start focusing on "being an adult"? Or should I continue to enjoy my obsessions and move along towards adulthood at my own pace?
Move towards adulthood at your own pace, we all mature at different ages, plus you can still be obsessed with Transformers, theres nothing wrong with being obsessed with transformers when you're 18 years old.
I'm 17 years old and I still love to watch Blues clues (It's an obsession that I've been obsessed with since I was 1 or 2.),read graphic novels and story books that are intended for kids,plus I still sometimes sleep with a stuff rabbit (I used to sleep with him every night since I was 5 or 6, but I decided I wanted to take better care of him since I had him for very long time and I didn't want him to rip. So I just sleep with him when I have a hard time falling asleep at night, or if I have bad nightmare.), and I still do other childish things. (The moment I decide to type about them I can't remember all of them XO.) But like I said you'll mature at your own pace and you dot need to stop loving transformers.
