i think a society failed its youth if they feel old (derogatory) at 20

perhaps a society has failed if it’s people ever feel old (derogatory) rather than old (complimentary)

YOU. YOU GET IT

the issue of tying youth to desirability, whether sexually or culturally, doesn’t go away when you expand what youth is

youth worship isn’t just beauty standards, it’s saying that only the young have ideas or creations that have worth. that age means withering and decay. don’t expand what youth is, dismantle the idea that aging degrades your value as a human being
