25... When you were a kid you thought that you would be married by now Have it all figured out The career The home The car The kids Now you're here and holy **** Do we ever really figure it out? Adulting is hard Your Facebook feed is filling up with engagements and baby announcements but your reading the newsfeed in the liquor isle of Safeway Beer or wine tonight? Hmm maybe ***** "Psh who wants to be a boring married couple" That's what you think to yourself Trying to convince yourself that it's okay Drown out that little voice in your head saying "you're gonna be alone forever" It's like walking on a tightrope One side you have it together and the other side you still might as well be that 21 year old college student ordering shots at the bar If someone has this figured out- hit a homie up Until then, I'm just doing me and I guess I'm doing fine

FuckBoi Academy is Accepting Applications
They say if you have to ask yourself then the answer is probably "yes" There's such a fine line between normies and the cursed Me? I've been on both sides I can tell you that a heroine addict is an addict I can tell you some people really are sick But I still look at myself and just think "?" My life isn't unmanageable Sometimes I do drink too much On occasion I do stupid things I regret in the morning Mostly though, I'm okay Then it happens... A trigger And I'm suddenly feeling out of control My life becomes a drunken blur and I can't see clearly anymore Then just as quickly as it started, it stops Normie life resumes as if I had never gone away But is it really stopping if a pattern is appearing? If I am would I be able to admit it? Maybe I've convinced myself to logically justify a problem Maybe... Or maybe I'm just young doing what young people do Here I am back at square one again The internal struggle that is me
