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

Highly recommend Tavi Gevinson’s series of essays critiquing Taylor Swift, the culture of Swiftieism, the nature of becoming famous as a young person, and the concept of person-as-brand, from the perspective of someone who both became famous on the internet as a tween and was briefly friends with Taylor in her girl squad era

#hair pulling bc i find pressure on my scalp soothing

its so brave that you have such a 2012-coded url in this 2024 world

would you call a bear brave for standing in a new construction suburb or would you recognize the unfamiliar world they built around him

if i was a knight in medieval times i would be the guy who dies a gruesome probably accidental death that ruins the whole tourney for everyone

#goodbye to all my money… #i fear i will go into overdraft this term. it is okay though. we power through. #i do have savings but like. i think it is better to go into interest free overdraft as opposed to taking my savings out of their high #interest rate accounts #everyday i thank god that my grandad taught finance… telling me where to put my money into which savings accounts #is his passion
