20 things I learned by my 20th birthday
You already know I love my lists. In honor of turning 20 three days ago, here’s some sort of list of things I’ve learned about myself and the world (not in any particular order or by any ranking of importance).
The album I listened to while writing this: Hail To the Thief - Radiohead
I created this world to feel some control (destroy it if I want)
stream of consciousness about the inevitability of me turning 20, my love of Twenty-One Pilots, and whatever else.
Songs I listened to while writing: Bandito - Twenty-One Pilots, A Soul With No King - AURORA
i am my own worst critic (my brain is trying to kill me.)
your girl is going through it just a bit! a stream of consciousness type beat while i rant about feeling unmotivated in life.
the songs i listened to while writing are in this playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4dcYwRtRUIdgfMIXUxURAc?si=9b760b5554d24d38
a collection of poems
a collection of 9 poems i have written from 2024-2025. some of them are not as good as others, but its fun to see the progress when comparing the timeframes.
i’ve been writing poetry for 7 years, so perhaps this is the start of my book. who knows!
the fine line between life and death (nostalgia is a purgatory and the only solution is apathy)
i wrote about my experience of missing who you used to be but not the trauma that came with it. no beta we die like my sleep schedule.
the song i listened to while i wrote this: gilded lily - cults
the show i was watching that inspired me to write this: heartstopper season 3. you know the episode.
slight TWs for implied/references to SH
to be loved is to be Known (study abroad can’t fix your problems)
i’ve been in Sweden for almost 3 weeks and i think i’m depressed. anyways ilya rozanov this one is for you bbg.
my life is one long list
an ongoing list of my top 5 and top 10 favorite things. i love lists.
ramblings from a chronic over-thinker (interlude: i had a nightmare)
a collection of thoughts i had recently about being completely obsessive over something. (i just watched connor storrie on the ‘shut up evan’ podcast and spiraled) this is completely beta and has more run-on sentences than fingers on my hands, but hey, i never said my writing was good.
Merry Christmas, Watch Out for Speed Bumps
a short story i wrote around christmas time for a creative writing class. cue the sickly nostalgia.
Die Your Daughter
another story i wrote for a creative fiction class.
TW// Mentions of Suicide, Self Harm, & Abuse. Take care of yourselves!
