Mack’s Guide on how (not) to be an Adult

Mack May 23rd, 2023

Hellooooooo and welcome to another one of my threadsssss. This one will feature my new journey as a (legal) “adult” xD Mostly just to keep in touch with all of my lovely teenie friends when I age up since that was requested. I will tag a few people but I’m tired and can’t think of a ton of usernames so feel free to tag anyone I miss :’)

Tagging- @ALeXaNdEe0712 @TabbyCat97 @OliveTree1728 @Axtyn @Astraeuss @DarkerPlaces @selflessSpruce1515 @Nomifordays @teenytinyturtle and anyone else I may be missing. Sorry if I did miss you and I hope someone does tag you :’)

Mack OP June 3rd, 2023

I know everyone wanted a formal “goodbye” but I hate goodbyes and I’m no good at them. What I can give you all tho, is a thank you for all you did.

Thank you to all of my lovely teenie friends for all the memories, all the support and for existing. I love you all so much and I already miss talking with you. You’re beautiful people and I know some of you may not believe that right now but I really hope someday you can see yourselves the way I see you. You deserve it.

While I appreciate you all and miss you all tons, a few of you made a really big impact on my life and hold a truly special place in my heart and I have a bit more to say.

@ALeXaNdEr0712 - Thank you so *** much for always being there for me, no matter what. You’re an amazing friend and I am so glad I get to consider you a friend. You’re a good person and I am so proud of you every single day. I cannot express how much I miss late nights in sr with you but hopefully we will both still be around cups when it’s time for you to age up. Please know I will always be here for you in the forums. You’re a special person Alex, the world doesn’t have many like you and the world is so lucky to have someone like you. You’re gonna do amazing things, I know it. Please be kind to yourself ʕっ• ᴥ • ʔっ ❤️

@OliveTree1728 - Oh Olive. Thank you so much for always being an amazing friend and always being there for me. I’m really gonna miss our TCR concerts and totally unhinged, off the wall conversations. You’re a beautiful person, inside and out. You bring such a light wherever you go, and you always try to be there for everyone else, no matter how much you’re struggling yourself. You’re a special person and I am gonna miss the middle of the night chats and chaos with you in the rooms. Remember to stay hydrated!!! Thank you for everything ❤️

@Axtyn - We’ve had our ups and downs but that doesn’t stop me from seeing how amazing you are. You’re a lovely friend and an amazing person (when you’re not tryna kidnap me and put me in your candy van 😒). Life is *** but you’ve gotten through a lot. I am so proud of you for it all. I am going to miss the never ending banter with you in the rooms that probably had everyone convinced we truly hate eachother, it really started some interesting *** 😭 Keep standing for what you believe in and keep being you. Thank you so much for all of the memories and interesting conversations. Be good, Big Mac with Extra Mac Sauce. Don’t get into too much trouble 🫶🏻

@Astraeuss - Just…don’t be an idiot? xD Nah you’re good, you’ve always been good. It’s been amazing seeing you grow so much as a person over the last couple years and I’m truly so proud of you. Thank you so much for all you’ve done to be there for me. You have so much damn potential to be anything you want to be, use it. I know you can do anything you set your mind to.

@DarkerPlaces - hello darkwr. or daeker. or farmer. or any other variation of your name that my autocorrect has deemed appropriate to call you 😭 I appreciate you a ton, you’ve always been such a supportive and caring person to everyone and you always treat everyone so kindly and it’s an amazing thing to see in the rooms. We need more kindness. Keep being you, you’re a good person. People may make you feel otherwise but your intentions are always good and that’s what matters.

@Nomifordays - My sweet baby teenie Naomi, you’re such a lovely presence in the rooms and on cups in general. Be kind to yourself, okay? You’re still learning and you’ve come such a long way from where you started. Keep pushing, I know it’s hard to believe and it takes way longer than anyone wants to wait, but things will start to get better someday. Thank you for being such a lovely friend and person. Here for you always. Be good and stay kind to yourself- you deserve it 🫶🏻

@mysteriousClover - I only have two things to say. 1. Thank you for being you and for being such an amazing friend. 2. Paws off my leggings, you can get your own 🙄 Be patient and kind with yourself Khester. You’re a great person and amazing friend and I hope if you don’t now, someday soon you can see that in yourself. Feel free to update me on any tree mishaps, I’d love to hear about them 😀 And I hope you have an amazing time at camp, I know you’ve been looking forward to it for a while ❤️

Heres my first lesson on how (not) to be an adult as well: don’t let others define you. don’t let others tell you who you need to be. don’t let others dull your sparkle or put out your flame. always be authentically you. that’s the best you that you can be and anyone who doesn’t like you for it doesn’t matter. at all. be sure to keep your own peace, put yourself first and show yourself no less love than you would show anyone else that you care about. and don’t wait til you turn 18 to start this. start today. and tomorrow and every single day for the rest of your life. you’re perfect just as you are and you don’t have to change for anyone. life sucks but maybe it can be a little better if you’re able to see that there’s nothing wrong with you. continue to work on the things you need to work on and do your best everyday to grow even more into the truest you. and if nobody’s told you today- or even if they have, i want you to know I am so damn proud of you. i hope someday if you’re not already, you can be proud of you too. be good my lovely teenie friends, and make sure to cause a little chaos in my honor 😌 if any of you ever need anything I’m always just a tag away ❤️

@Mack

maacckk mackk that made my day (':

i hope the oldies haven't been treating you poorly, if they haaave just follow your own advice and bite them (:

how has the oldie side been :0

#1, thank you for being you too, i'm so so glad i was able to meet you, you're such a good friend too

now #2, i require those leggings, i have run out of all other black leggings, and since you are an adult now you must have big kid money to get yourself more leggings (: jooooooking but still. when i age up (yes i know that is 5 years from now and highly unlikely) i WILL get them (: no doubt about it

yess there will be plenty of tree mishaps, i guarantee that. and also yeeeesss camp is so so soon (:

and last of all before i leave you to the oldies, that is a good life lesson, tbh i'm surprised it doesn't involve biting peoplee xD

byee byeeeee mackkkk talk to youu sooonnnnnn

June 4th, 2023

@Mack

u are missed Mack I don't like saying goodbye to people or people leaving, I really do miss seeing u around and it feels different without u

I hope u are ok and know that I'm always here for u too, remember u have people n ur corner Mack people that do care about u. And I'm thinking of u always, hoping u are ok and safe and eating and that mochi and yoshi are good and Asher, that won't change not matter what, when u make such an impact n someone's life u can't forget someone just cause they ain't around like they used to. And if when things get rough cause that's what happens remember that there's people that really care about u and that think u are amazing and u deserve the best and all good stuff and even if it feels like it, u ain't alone

Nomifordays June 14th, 2023

mack come backkkkkkk you twerky turkey 😭😭😭

I miss youuuuu

what's up?

Mack OP August 21st, 2023

Hellooo my lovely teeniessss ❤️


Its been a h o t minute and I just wanted to check in on you guys and see how you are doing? I miss each and every one of you so freaking much 🥺 I hope you are all okay. I hope you have all been taking care of yourselves as best as you can even though I’m not there to harass you to do it daily hehe.


Here’s a little daily self care checklist for you all to follow (this is mandatory -_-)

  1. Eatttt foooddddd. It doesn’t have to be a lot or anything in specific, just be sure to eat a little bit everyday, food is important 🫶🏻
  2. Drink water- yes water. Plain old boring water. At least once a day. I mean it!
  3. Shower or take a bath. You don’t have to wash your hair or any of that good stuff. Just let the water run on you I don’t care if you don’t feel like it, just do it. If a shower feels too hard or feels like too much just sit in the bathtub. I promise it’ll help even if you don’t realize it right away.
  4. Say something kind to yourself. Even if you don’t believe it. You are wonderful people and I know you’re amazing, so if you don’t believe it, I will believe it for you.
  5. Take your meds (if applicable). It’s important!! Do not forget or put it off on anything like that. Just take them, it’ll only take a moment.
  6. Do something you enjoy, even if only for 15 minutes. I don’t care if it’s reading, writing, listening to music, some sort of art, going for a walk, watching your favorite TV show or movie, ect. Just do something you enjoy)


As for an update on how (not) to be an adult- do not base your worth on what others think of you. Do not allow others to tear you down or destroy you. Always remember the only person you will always have is yourself, be kind to you. Trust you. Stay true to you, and ALWAYS speak YOUR truth. These last couple months have been really difficult for me to apply that to myself but I’m getting there. If I can do it, I know you can too. I believe in you all.


Last but not least, just in case you haven’t heard it today or lately, I am so so proud of you. Don’t try to tell me there’s nothing to be proud of because there is. Even if you haven’t accomplished something big or anything like that, you woke up today and you existed and that’s huge. So I am so very proud of you today and always. And you can always find me here if you need anything, I’m just a tag away ❤️


Be good my friends, and stay chaotic 🫶🏻


@ALeXaNdEr0712 @OliveTree1728 @Astraeuss @Nomifordays @Axtyn @DarkerPlaces @mysteriousClover @BirdKing449 (I tried to remember everyone but it’s been so long so if I missed someone it wasn’t intentional XD)

I didn't end up getting the tag, but it did end up coming in my feed for the first time today which is awesome!

Hey Mack, hope you are well <3 I really really appreciate the reminders. I've missed you tons, and to be honest, before I saw this forum post I thought you might have deleted your account since I hadn't seen anything for you, and to be honest, I was too scared to check your profile. I know that sounds really silly, but what can I say? I'm a silly bird :p

Anyway, I hope you have been following your own reminders. I need to do these today. I've been struggling a bit, but wooooo 59 days clean!! I have a boyfriend, not sure if you were here for that. We've been dating nearly three months, and he is everything every guy should be. He accepts me for being trans, he makes sure everything is consensual including just kissing (he knows I have trauma from a past relationship), he's constantly making sure I'm okay, and that I'm safe and taking care of myself. I know it hasn't been three months yet let alone 6 months or more, but I love him so much. And I hope you find a partner (if you want one) that is like him, and who treats you with kindness. I hope everyone does, because that is what everyone deserves.

Sorry for that little rant, but I'm so glad to see you again, and I can't wait to keep up with more posts.

I’m so glad you found a partner who respects you for who you are and respects your boundaries, you deserve that. I hope everything there continues to go great, I’m happy for you 🫶🏻
