being in your early 20s is crazy bc there’s people who are literally married and people who’ve never even dated and people who are trapped in their childhood bedrooms waiting to get out and people who are trying to live out romanticized dream lives and people who are completely on their own and people with multi tiered support systems and we’re all supposedly peers and none of us think we’re doing it right at all
middle aged women giving compliments will be like hey i like your jeans :-) when i was your age i couldve worn jeans like that but now im an old fat ugly worthless sack of shit i hate my body so much i should just kill myself right dont you think i should just kill myself.

I get a fuckin degree in Marine Science and go back the fuck out there.
