Being twenty right now is actually insane and I’m loving every second of it. I have a nightly beer with people I love in a co-op, I have people that can tattoo me for cheap, im learning Italian and I hate it

a little more than a week out from my birthday, the final year of my 20s which have been, to put it mildly, tumultuous. feeling so grateful to be constantly becoming more myself, to be in the healthiest loving relationship i’ve ever been in, and to keep trying new restaurants! i love aging!!!!!

I began my 21st year with my head in the toilet of a man I was seeing. He held my hair back as I repeatedly wailed “why don’t you want to be with meeeee”. Barely anyone had turned up to my party earlier. That year had many such sad moments like this, but it also transitioned into one of the most fun times of my life. I had a really bad depressive episode, but it was the first time I’d felt really heard by my family went home for an bit to be looked after, I also had a best friend at uni, Alice who looked after me so well and we’re still friends today. Eventually I graduated uni and I moved in with one of my best friends, Rohan. We worked at a bar together and the people at that bar became my family for a while, I stayed in Sheffield my uni town for 5 more years because of that bar. we still meet up a couple times a year for a reunion. I had purple hair and I was drunk a lot, I cried a lot, I had so much anxiety, I wrote essentially nothing but I read more than I had in the 3 years of uni prior to it. I had so much fun working at that bar, I met so many people and danced so much. slept with far too many musicians which was often traumatic but means I have some great stories and I learnt a lot about myself. 21 is really hard, but it’s also really fun, and it all counts and it all means something. I look back at 21 year old me with so much love and compassion, one day you will feel the same about yourself and you’ll be so proud of that person.

What’s stopping you from writing shitty prose on substack??? I don’t fancy myself a writer but I would love to be able to better articulate my points and I think writing consistently helps,,,,,plus It’s a fun little thing to do?
