Since a kid, I've been fascinated with the idea that our 20s HAVE to be the best years of our lives. From my parents telling me to "enjoy the time while you can" or society painting this picture-perfect notion that this is our prime, I can't help but be bitter about it all. If my mid 20's are the best years of my life, then that scares the living shit out of me. Your mid 20's is an uphill battle. The Trenches. A beautiful storm. The constant pressure of fitting into this mold that the world has created for us is making me really frustrated. Maybe it's just me. But in the case that it's not, you're not alone. Oh, and then when I was drunk one night in Lebanon this summer I wrote on my notes app a list of rules at my funeral?? Don't get too excited though, I'm living till I'm 100.
