Like this post if you are in your 20s

i’m 20 now. i never really imagined being here. but i am.

it’s an age old tale - the difficulty of navigating your 20s and making your way through the rest of adulthood.

nobody really know what they should be doing. anybody that seems like they do is just a great actor.

i think what we all need - what i need, and what anybody else in their 20s or about to enter this period, is courage. blind courage. the courage to run full speed at what you want, to grasp and claw your way towards it, despite any fears or doubts you may have. the courage to explore and learn and speak your mind - to not agree for the sake of piety or politeness. to question why. to really sink your teeth into an issue.

i think it’s important to have the courage to follow what you’re passionate about and to not be embarrassed or afraid. yes it’s hard. but it’s worth it. that’s the fucking point. you need to nurture yourself - part of that is engaging in your passions, no matter how impossible it can feel.

it’s important to be resilient. today might be awful. you might feel like today is the hardest day of your life, and that you’re gasping for any sort of relief. but it will pass. and you will wake up the next day and watch the steam from your coffee catch in the sunlight, and you will move forward. you will be courageous. you are courageous.

Ur 20s are for skipping meals and doing every possible thing to survive and barely skimming by

When Mary Shelley said - 'At the age of twenty-six, I am in the condition of an aged person. All my old friends are gone. I have no wish to form new. I cling to the few remaining; but they slide away, and my heart fails when I think by how few ties I hold to the world.' - I felt that.

I'm a cryptid in Stardew valley. I live on the outskirts of town. I disappear for days on end, purchasing daily one-way tickets to the calico desert. Nobody knows where I go while I'm there. Can occasionally be found fishing at random spots throughout town. I am never not running on at least one triple shot espresso. I take the abandoned minecarts to get around and am frequently seen disappearing into the sewers. I carry a sword for some reason. Once every week or two I will stride into your bedroom to deliver you your favorite meal. I'm a self-made millionaire. I attend all the town events and will go to your concert in the next town over. I have donated approximately 2583 items to the local museum and singlehandedly revitalized the town community center. There are rumors I can talk to junimos. I'm friends with the local wizard

"Yeah, but I don't think he's gonna transition"

your 20s feel like the point in which you pass the event horizon of a black hole. you stretch. and stretch. and stretch. until you’re pulled so thin you barely recognize where you begin and end. it is transformative, enlightening, and soul crushing. the other side is daunting and ambiguous. but you won’t really know until you get there. suddenly you’re 25 and things are finally starting to make sense. you stretch some more but now aren’t pulled so taut. it’s funny because i don’t think the stretching ever really stops.

favorite hobby when I'm driving is to catch someone trying to climb up my back bumper while I'm going a completely reasonable speed and just slowly take my foot off the gas. you seem upset, brother. why don't we slow down and enjoy the view awhile

and what if i cry?? what then?

RICK PERRY THE GENIUS YOU ARE

gorgug should autocrit on all future popularity rolls for his time at augefort because you can not tell me this school filled with teenage anarchists would see that video of him oinking at a cop and not think he's the coolest guy alive

True Sight

a dænce of roëmænce

depictions of the ace experience never seem to include the nightmare-borne skeleton creature from hell so kudos to the dimension 20 team for their commitment to accurate rep

That post about 30 year old coming of age stories?

I’ve been thinking about it all morning. What would the plot points be for that? What makes a 30 year old coming of age story?

Old folks sound off in the comments

did you miss your romance partner?

i like to imagine a sleep deprived riz opens his briefcase and a bony white hand quietly passes him the exact document he needed and riz is too keyed in to even acknowledge it

quick comix of the little creatures
