being 19

I loved being 19, it felt like the age I was supposed to be. I miss 19, I can’t wait to see what other years will feel like being 19 when I get older. Aging used to scare me a lot more, now I’ve realized the world is kinder to me as I’ve grown up, and I’ve grown kinder to myself too. I hope to smile enough that one day it’ll never leave my face again.

ignorance is bliss kinda thing

happy (early?) birthday!! 🎉 Idk what advice to give because i feel like the 20-somethings now are more emotionally aware than the 20-somethings from even as recent as a decade ago, but tune into your body, give yourself grace, and listen to others’ stories without feeling pressured to model your life after someone else’s. & if you don’t know what you want your life to look like yet that’s okay! ❤️ At 21 I was in my senior year of college and engaged to be married within the year after graduation. In the southern religious environment we were in this wasn’t abnormal, but in retrospect that was soooo young to get married and I don’t think I would have so quickly if I hadn’t been so desperate to get out of a problematic family situation that involved some financial abuse. Despite changing A LOT over the past decade+ my partner and I are still together, and I look back at 21 as a time when I most followed the social script expected of me and coasted on that for a while, until it all started to fall apart (in an ultimately good if devastating way) when I became a mom at 24.  tl;dr: my 21 was tame and mellow and happy but i had no idea who i was or what i could be and now i do have a stronger sense of that at 32 and that feels better

DOES NOBODY CARE?

the internet is teaching you apathy. now this isn’t an extreme opinion where i believe everyone is suffering a lack of caring. it isn’t everyone. but a very wise brooklyn dj once told me, “in a room of 40 [people], the one screaming is always the one to be heard”. the nonchalant epidemic is the screaming person in a room of people who once cared so deeply. i often ask my younger friends what their plans are for the future, i myself am someone who is in a constant state of “chalant”ness especially for my long term goals. i dunno. do you even care ? not really why? why won’t you care? when you were a child and someone brought up your favorite tv show- you cared, when you fell and scraped your knee on the asphalt- you cared, when you got your heart broken for the first time you were so so angry- you cared. where did that fervor go? passion, empathy, creativity, the essence of the human spirit, it all stems from daring to give a fuck about anything. caring so intensely is the most badass thing a person can do, so hug your friends, tell your girlfriend you love her, start a new medium. start caring about something so much that it becomes the center of your world, and then care a little more.
