#in my 20s

[alittolatte]

sorry that its been a week since I’ve replied to your message. I was held captive by the 20 something urge to do both everything and nothing in life.

When you spread your wings and fly away from the home you've always known, rarely do you realize the depth of the fact that it would not be so easy to return.

I miss everything about my home. Now that I've left, all I want is to go back.

Crawl into my bed and fall asleep to the sounds of the sea.

The sea and its crashing waves, a lullaby that has sneaked into my life without me even realizing.

I cannot sleep in the silence of this new city.

I miss the waves.

And the comfort knowing that the sea is awake and keeping me company.

I got to wake up in my own apartment and I just made myself scrambled cheesy eggs and an English muffin and I’m about to do some grad school work. Even simple joys like waking up in your own place and making yourself breakfast, make me appreciate even more that I’ve started this living on my own era. 😊🩷

Listening to about you on a train is an olympic sport.

It’s just me and my emotional support tumblr against the world 🫶🏽

I'm a child, I love cartoons.

I'm old, I crochet.

I'm a child, I hold my pencils in my fist.

I'm old, I'm grown enough to decide to smoke.

I'm a child, I smile in awe and get closer when I see a pretty bug.

I'm old, I cook, I'll wash the dishes later.

I'm a child, I drink chocolate milk and do a little dance.

I'm old, I start my morning with coffee and a balanced breakfast.

I now make real phone calls, talk about documentaries and books I've read.

I then had a phone who answered "HI, how are you" it was pink and made of plastic, I watched Bear Grylls and thought one day I would be like him, I hated to read because my brother was always reading, I pretended to smoke lollipops, I jumped all around, I screamed in awe when saw a bug, I'm always me, little or not, we are the same. I'm only 20.

I realize as I get older. The more I crave privacy. I don’t necessarily need everyone to know what I’m into. I don’t need to be defined by the opinions of others. I can just be myself and that is totally ok. Growing up is not so bad.

It's finals week,

I took an Adderall in the morning to quiet my brain enough to do homework.

Around lunch time I called my mom [after my best friend and brother didn't answer].

I needed someone to talk about nothing with.

She stayed on the phone for an hour and a half.

I slipped her crumbs of what my life looks like in college.

Just enough to keep her from wondering but not enough to disappoint her.

She asked me when I went to church last like she always does [she knows I don't go anymore, I don't feel comfortable in a pew].

I talk to her about the things I don't want to bore my friends with [my class project, the leg warmers I knitted, what I had for lunch, how therapy was].

She responds with only excitement [unless I mention boys, or the bars I will go to this weekend].

She talks about the upcoming funeral for my grandpa, where she's been going for work, how little she's slept.

I see her in myself, yet I feel so disconnected.

I am my mothers daughter, I love it as much as I fear it.
