I lived and learned and learned nothing, too

“When I retire, I want to retire to Brooklyn…
       it’s my favorite place in the world so far that I’ve seen."
- Marilyn Monroe



he ennui of being in your 20s
and having ambition about what you want out of life
but this sort of aimlessness at creating it
all the while grappling to see if it even exists,
because you're not sure that it does yet
and sometimes you're discovering that it doesn't
and then you're having to pivot
and you 'go what is life?'


oftentimes that creates a lot of boringness
and loneliness and reflectiveness.


as I reflect on my 20s
I can condense it into a bunch of really wild stories
or whatever, but most of the time
I think I was alone and just working jobs
and wandering through how
to be a human being.
