I had to destroy a part of myself to survive. I had to leave her there in a burning house. She can never leave. She burns so that I can live.

[ID: Obedience in the wrong house is a kind of plague, / survivor’s guilt a sleight of hand. No outrunning / your blood’s calamity, so you gather your teeth / & dig your trenches, tell your stories but never come clean. END ID]

The therapist, always searching for meaning

The doctor, always trying to fix things

The actor, always hidden behind a mask

When I look into the mirror, I see myself, broken

All the roles a child shouldn’t have to play

All the things done to a mere little one

From one Gen-Z to another, let’s continue to deprogram ourselves from the idea that 30 is old and you need to have your shit together before 30.

You can go back to school after age 30!

You can fall in love after age 30!

You can find a best friend after age 30!

You can find a passion after age 30!

You can find a job you love after age 30!

You can recover from an addiction after the age 30!

You can pursue a large goal after age 30!

You can travel the world after age 30!

You can move after age 30!

You can change your appearance after age 30!

You can ask for help after age 30!

You can make discoveries about yourself after age 30!

You can come out after age 30!

You can fix your finances after age 30!

You can be attractive after age 30!

You can fix your life after age 30!

You can do anything after age 30!

Idk what so specifically about the number 30 has bewitched so many of us into believing that means your life is over, but it’s just so far from the truth!

You have so much more time after 30 to accomplish all that you want to do.

Your life isn’t over until it quite literally is over. Stop giving yourself a deadline that doesn’t exist!

Reminder that caregivers of children are, by definition, supposed to provide shelter, food, and clothing. They did not do you a huge favor by providing this. It was the bare minimum of the job description that they voluntarily signed up for. You are not indebted to your caregivers for giving you the very basics.
