Feeling 23 is drinking wine alone on a Tuesday
Deleting Tinder once a month
and downloading it again the day after
Feeling 23 is coloring your own hair
and googling ways
to get rid of the green flair
Feeling 23 is thinking about love lost
regretting, remembering and realizing
it’s not worth the thought
Feeling 23 is looking down your body
praising it
loving it
and accepting it
Feeling 23 is wanting a cat for christmas to hide the loneliness
calling your mom up just the hear her voice
and drowning the silence with music
Feeling 23 is worrying about the future
worrying about the past
and forcing yourself to believe
it will all be over fast
Feeling 23 is understanding how much your parents did for you
wanting a positive pregnancy test
to start your own family
Feeling 23 is listening to your old favorite songs
old favorite movies
and feeling nostalgic about the early 2000’s
Feeling 23 is doubting your path
changing goals
and dreaming of new heights
Feeling 23 is choosing a night in
instead of the crowded club
prefering a close friends
over fake friends
Feeling 23 is wanting a boyfriend
but hiding under the covers
kissing strangers
and feeling the bad taste linger the morning after
Feeling 23 is a quarterlife crisis
a stopping point
before you reach the top
