contrary to popular belief i do not have my life together

[poetrylesbian]

i know that life isn't a race and that everyone does things on their own schedule and that i shouldn't compare myself to other people who haven't lived the same life that i have and overcome the same obstacles i have. BUT

you don’t need to have your life sorted out by the end of the season, year, school, college, your teens, twenties, or any other time limit.

it is a fact that you will always face problems in your life. imposing a deadline can help motivate, but often it’s just one more problem.

take a look at those problems, and your perspective. you’re doing good just by being, and you’re going to do good taking on problems too

Being a young adult is so strange. You enter a coffee shop. The 20 year old girl waiting behind you cried all night because she just came to a new city for university and she feels so alone. That 27 year old guy over there works a job he is overqualified for, he lives with his parents and wants to move out but doesn't know what to do about it. That one 24 year old dude already has a car, a house, and a job waiting for him once he graduates thanks to his dad's connections. The 26 year old barista couldn't complete his higher education because he has to work and take care of his family. The 28 year old girl sitting next to you has no friends to go out with so she is texting her mother. That couple (both 25 years old) are married and the girl is pregnant. The 29 year old writing something on her laptop has realized that she chose the wrong major so she is trying to start all over. We are not alone in this, but we are actually so alone. Do you feel me

we’re gonna be ok btw

[glowcowboy]

it’s ok if you’re scared. or tired. or unsure. or one million billion other complicated emotions at once. but i’ve decided things are going to be ok anyway. and i will hold that belief close to my heart no matter how scared or tired or lonely or depressed or one million billion other things i am. i will hold onto that. and if you’re scared, you can hold onto me. we can carry each other through

fast food, fast fashion, songs being sped up, tv show seasons being only 8 episodes long, replacing youtube vlogs with fifteen second “day in the life” tiktoks, people in their 20s complaining about being too old...everything is so rushed, we have lost the art of lingering.

i saw a quote that said “i feel like i’m constantly worrying about the next part of my life without realizing that i’m right in the middle of what i used to look forward to.” and i felt that.

So crazy how you have the worst day of your life but then the next day the sun keeps shining and the air’s just a little cooler w the onset of fall and you realize that there’s nothing you can’t come back from because the only time it will ever be too late is when we’re dead and not ever before

[stuckinapril]

I vividly remember talking to one of my favorite professors about how I’m scared things will fall apart after graduation and how I’m so unused to change and her just going “if things fall apart then they do and u just pick up the pieces and start over again and it’s fine. Things falling apart is not this mammoth fear u should be worried about” and I remember these words every time I want to pursue or seize something bc literally the worst thing that can happen is it doesn’t work out ….. and then I just pick up the pieces and start all over again

limiting social media was a blessing for me. like I am aware I have a pretty boring life - I don't travel much, I don't really party, I don't have "photo worthy" life, but most of the time I am content with how it looks and I wouldn't change much. but yesterday I opened up instagram first time in like a month and I saw that some people I know from high-school or middleschool posted things to their ig stories and I swiped through from pure curiosity what's up in their lives. and my mood dropped when I saw everyone hanging out in cool places, being on vacation god knows where, just having fun in general. and I always need to remind myself that those photos are just small percent of their lives and it's not like their everyday life is also photo worthy. and I am aware of that all but seeing those stories always makes me feel gloomy and disappointed by my own life. not using social media gives me less opportunities to compare myself to others.
