It’s really hard coming to terms with the fact that I’m 28 and having to mourn the life that I envisioned and literally nothing going to plan and feeling like I’m running out of time
High af. As a touch deprived child it took me so long to realize my dog just wants me to pet him for no reason sometimes. I’m like you are fed, housed, and appear to be fully functioning. Why r u in my face. I had not accounted for the rest of love. Love to me was only surviving.
Suddenly, you're 27.
You make your coffee, rush to work, come home around 7, and you're too tired to do anything except eat, scroll on your phone, and pass out.
Then you wake up, and do it all again.
And when Friday comes, maybe you go out, or maybe you're just too tired. Then, out of nowhere, it hits you.
How did everything pass by so quickly?
You don't even feel 27.
You still feel like that 17 year old kid who thought they had all the time in the world.
But somehow, 10 years just disappeared. And you start missing the past. The feeling of being young, excited, and clueless.
But then you realize, one day, you'll miss this, too.
Being 25, being confused, being tired, but still trying.
So maybe the trick is to slow down a bit and actually live this chapter before it also becomes just another memory.
The point is no matter age you are, you'll miss these days. Life gets busy sometimes and it's always a good time to stop and smell the roses.
Romance itself is dying because of illiteracy. When you read letters from the Civil War era, men were shockingly lyrical because they had heads full of poetry. Literacy fuels passion. Beauty, wisdom, empathy, passion are vanishing from the world because people don’t read.
I made a joke that landed with everyone in the clinic and everyone laughed and talked about it for like 5 minutes after that. There was at least 12 people in the clinic, including patients. I’ll be riding this high for the rest of night, thank you!!!
