being in your early 20s is crazy bc there’s people who are literally married and people who’ve never even dated and people who are trapped in their childhood bedrooms waiting to get out and people who are trying to live out romanticized dream lives and people who are completely on their own and people with multi tiered support systems and we’re all supposedly peers and none of us think we’re doing it right at all

What do People want? Is it the new Phone that just came out, a pair of sneakers, Good Skin or that one fairytale-rollercoaster like true love. I want to know what do we strive for what will make us want to give are all. What is worth it?
for my lonely girls: i remember fka twigs said when she was in her early 20s/in uni she had literally no friends and spent most her time alone or with her mom…idk its very comforting to think abt if you feel like you’re unsatisfied in friendships rn (because, as you can see in her album, twigs found her people finally 🥰)
we’re still young and sometimes that’s hard to remember
”At times failure is very necessary for the artist. It reminds him that a failure is not the ultimate disaster. And this reminder liberates him from the mean fussing of perfectionism.”

I’M A SLAVE FOR YOU
Every time I feel the need I envision you caressing me, over and over and over again.
