i turned 26 today, and as a matter of habit, that means it is time to reflect on 25. up until this point, my 20s have been both stereotypical and odd. there was the emotional year of graduating. or the awkward year of redefining life after college. there was the itchy growth year of looking for community and finding myself, instead. and the soft year of remembering what it’s like to live at home, sans the teenage angst. my 20s have had squares on screens and eyeliner-stained cheeks and aimless walks that tiktok made into a whole aesthetic.
Love a good birthday reflection - happy birthday!
Happy Birthday, Nat! I love that 25 brought intent. And that your favorite village is Riomaggiore. Keep enthralling us with your words.
happy birthday!!
