I am overwhelmed. why? you may ask. I say this because at 20 years old, I thought I would have this free feeling and be doing whatever I wanted. this economy is basically laughing in my face right now. I'm a sophomore in university, I have two jobs that I work occasionally and I have to learn how to navigate the world on my own. it's tough out here, especially as a POC who's also a woman and queer. triple homicide.
luckily, the only thing in my name that I have to pay is a damn phone bill, and that's like $97 per month. I have classes twice a week, every Monday and Wednesday but the workload is so stressful. I feel like I never get a break sometimes. especially since most of my assignments are essays and research papers. I need to sit by the lake and just scream my lungs out.
I was able to do that yesterday tho, which I'm very grateful for. I went to the concert for J-hope (3/18) with my best friend. we have been friends since like 2018 but K-pop fans since before then. I was able to let loose during that concert and it felt like nothing mattered anymore at all, I loved it. I fear I'll be chasing that high for the rest of my life tho. hopefully, I won't.
i just hope and pray that one day, I can feel so free and have that feeling for the rest of my eternal being.

Hey buddy, you aren't alone! It feels like the cards are stacked against us. High school didn't set us up for the reality that is adulthood. You will have plenty more of those moments like the concert. 20's are hard, but there's solace in community.
