This is for all of us twenty something year olds hustling ahead in the big wide world.
These are difficult times, we face our own wars, some of the biggest ones inside us.
We strive to build an identity, only to be broken and sometimes heartbroken. We figure out food, work, friendships and relationships alike, while also making sure to iron our clothes every once in a while.
These are defining times, our beliefs change drastically. We go from living with others and knowing ourselves through others to discovering what we’re really about and writing our own stories.
We encounter the tough challenge of learning to be happy in our own company.
Parents grow old and become kids again, we take on responsibilities left right and center.
All this to sometimes receiving no acknowledgement. To sometimes feeling this crippling loneliness returning back home, disappointing almost, as if it was all not worth it.
Every day there’s something or the other that can spiral into seeming like the world is about to collapse upon us. Some days are amazing af too, some days are the best days of our lives.
I don’t know how much saying this helps, but,
my dear dear friends,
you’re not alone out there, you’re definitely not alone in this journey.
It is still your own journey and your path to walk, yet everyone’s walking their own path, with you.
and even though we might not say it and it might not feel like so, we’re so so proud of you, and we love you so much.
