I think the reason why twentysomethings are so
fixated on age is because we feel a pressure
to be a certain way at 23, at 25, at 29.
There are all of these invisible deadlines with
our careers and with love and drinking and drugs.
I can’t do coke at 25. I need to be in a LTR at
27. I can’t vomit from drinking at 26. I just can’t!
We feel so much guilt for essentially acting our age and making mistakes.
We’re obsessed with this idea of being
domesticated and having our shit together. It’s
kind of sad actually because I don’t think we
ever fully get a chance to enjoy our youth.
We’re so concerned about doing things “the
right way” that we lose any sense of pleasure
in doing things the wrong way.
Youth may be truly wasted on the young.
A quote that my girl BeiBadgirl told me the other night when I was questioning my direction in life. I can't think of a more accurate description of my current state of mind!
