Lottie Wilson — The Everyday

This time in isolation has really allowed me some space to consider my life. When did everything get so confusing? I’ve discovered that being in your twenties is tough.

PONDER

Is it a problem that I can't make up my mind?

Everything is a yes

and then it's a no

but I feel so guilty

I'm spineless I'm boring

so it's a yes again

whilst

now forever tainted a

no

I like tattoos

I should get one

no I shouldn't

there's nothing that I want

or am I just being a baby?

okay, maybe I’ll get one

I should lose some weight

I'd like myself more

but

that's just the patriarchy talking

Eat what you want!

Love yourself!

but now

someone else is persuading me

I'll just lose the weight

as planned

But,

how is it so easy?

how can they love themselves

and I can't?

how do they know what to do

and I don't?

Everything is okay

This is what it's like to be 24

Everyone feels like this

but they seem to have their shit together

better than I do?

It's probably just an act

as I said this is normal

for 24
