turning 20

note to self --
so now you're about to turn twenty and the world hasn't gotten any bigger for you. you're untouched, unloved, unprepared. your parents still pay for you. your friends all have internships, one has even started a business. you've got all this talent that you don't know how to share. you're about to turn twenty but you feel like you're fifteen. you sleep for fourteen hours and still need a nap. the world is shrinking one empty heartache at a time. you're scared you'll never find anyone to love you, not even well. you'll settle for anything. don't. 
you're about to turn twenty and they never remind you how young that is. falling in love does not make you grow up, heartbreak does, and there is more than one way to fall apart. you're about to turn twenty and it's okay if you aren't ready. it's okay.
