Advice For Your Twenties

You know, you are not as weird as you think

Also, you are not as sophisticated

But if you can make someone happy

It doesn't matter

I know the wounds don't fade as quickly as you wished but someone will love you regardless

If you feel unable to open up wait till you meet that person

You will be ok

Brush your teeth every morning while you try to step on her toes

I know the bitterness still echoes and you are unable to hide it

Remember that you can forgive them and still hold them accountable

Watch her breathe silently

Watch her shadow touch the walls of your room

Sometimes you have to get outside of your head to leave room for healthier thoughts

It will take time to understand yourself

But If people feel loved around you then one day you will love yourself as well

Hold on to the carelessness for a little longer

Let novelty linger for a while

Don't let them take it away from you

Ask stupid questions

Cry to cliche romantic movies

Don't take yourself too seriously

Outsmart the paradox of the human condition

I wish you could see your eyes when you spoke your truth

Enjoy the time you spend alone

You will be your only friend sometimes

Explore ideas and ridicule the concept of our finite existence

Pause, And listen to the sounds around you

Stay still, And observe the colors making patterns

This world has a certain rhyme beneath the chaos

This absurd little planet has room even for you

It was here before you

And it will continue to orbit the sun long after you are gone

And trust me, It's beautiful
