21

So, I’m, like, 21 guys.

And I have none of the crap I expected to have figured out by now… figured out!!! Woo-hoo!!! Life is so great and magical and being young is the motherfucking shit!!!

*and if you can’t detect the sarcasm you’ve misunderstood*

With that said, in all seriousness, I did grow a lot this past year. Weirdly, I somehow know both more and less about myself and what I want out of life than I did 12 months ago. It’s like things have become simultaneously clearer and murkier? Is this what being an adult is you guys? Cuz it lowkey sucks.

Usually I do a cute ‘lil roundup of fave photos I shot during the previous year… and while that’s great and all, I’ve found that it doesn’t actually say much about me, my experiences, how I changed, who was there for me, where I went and what I saw, etc…

That said I don’t actually have a better year-recapping idea so… here are a few photos (ones especially near and dear to me) I shot at the age 20. Woooo.

I also put on a pretty dress. I’ll have film pictures to share within 2-4 weeks, probably. Okay bye-bye.

  2. Happy Birthday, Abs!

    “I feel like I know more and less of myself” – If I had to describe turning 21/anytime in my early 20’s I’d 100% say that’s it. Haha, I’m 23 and still feeling that way. It’s so funny because you think you have it figured out when you’re 18, and then your early 20’s happen and you move out of home/ fall in love/ become some form of semi-adult and everything changes haha. It’s not bad mind you, just an interesting transition.

    Hope you have the best year ahead!!

  3. Girl sometimes I feel like the older I get the more confusing stuff is. But…it’s all relative lol. Some good stuff comes, too! Regardless, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!
