I feeeeeel this - curl recovery included! It’s hard to remember a time I’ve felt this connected to myself. I mourn the time I lost to whatever it was that kept me from myself while I’m still happy about the timeline I’ve lived to be who I am now.
first of all i truly don’t believe those pictures of you are the same person 😭😭 you look so different. second of all this is a great read given i am 22 losing myself as i try (&fail) to find a real job lol
I think it’s so common and under discussed to feel that loss of self between 22 and 25ish — I definitely did, though for me that perfectly coincided with both the pandemic and an imperfect relationship, so it’s hard to untangle — as a soon to be 27 yr old I feel like I’m on the coolness/fun/youthfulness upswing too!!
my fave thing about being 30 is knowing myself. it's not something I feel like I had till recently
i felt the exact same way right before turning 30 a few weeks ago. i relate to this so much!!
