Dude on God but like I was not prepared for how fucking lonely it's gonna be in your early 20s. You have your friends, you even get a boyfriend but damn does this loneliness ever end?

#idk #what tags do i even use #there is absolutely nothing lonelier

i’m realizing that i have so much time. i have time to grow my hair long. i have time to cut it all off and then to grow it back again. i have time to discover new hobbies and give up on things that no longer serve me. i have time to grow and change and travel and change my opinions and live differently than how i am now. i have so much time. take a deep breath and slow down

All the parties you spent

watching the room

from a balcony

where someone joined you

to smoke then returned.

And how it turns out no one

had the childhood they wanted,

and how they’d tell you this

a little drunk, a little slant

in less time than it took

to finish a cigarette

because sad things

can’t be explained.

Behind the glass and inside,

all your friends buzzed.

You could feel the shape

of their voices. You could

tell from their eyes they were

in some other place. 1999

or 2008 or last June.

Of course, it’s important

to go to parties. To make

life a dress or a drink

or suede shoes someone wears

in the rain. On the way home,

in the car back, the night sky

played its old tricks. The stars

arranged themselves quietly.

The person you thought of drove

under them. Away from the party,

(just like you) into the years.

- The Years, Alex Dimitrov.
