Adulting 

[turning 20 this year is scary asf]


Roaring 20s baby

Pinkies up as I drink my solo pint, true definition of modern new age lady

Savouring the last couple months I’m the hot topic on the over 30 male crowd’s tongue

They’ll find a younger version of me soon, they can’t help it I make them feel young


Fresh out of my mid-teen crisis

She describes me as sentimental and indecisive, but it can’t be right I’m not a Pisces

Bad dye job and even worse bed rot in my Pinterest inspired bedroom of a cavern

One day I’ll realise I’m not going to find true love at The George Tavern

And maybe I’ll stop looking, waiting, expecting

Can’t help it, raised on fictional rom com romance, fuck you Bridget Jones I can be just as unsuspecting


Fleeting infatuations

Can’t wait to leave behind teenage miscommunication

Delve into an idolised state

A life soundtracked by Lily, KT or Kate

Communication girlie by day

By night I’m Carrie Bradshaw in NYC with my Mr Big our relationship shrouded in grey


Work to live, work to spend a tenner on ‘cheap’ booze

Fill pages of journals with words trying to find life’s missing clues

Adulting is a boxers punch

It hurts more than a prick-punch and a little less than a credit-crunch


I spent most of my adolescence wanting to be blonde

And I fear I’ll spend my seniority running away from being grey 

But that’s life

Or so they say

  Girls You Want. [prada spring 2009] I’ve become really fucking good hearing the cruelty in your inflections Your slowed mind doesn’t hear the gait of your disrespect   I don’t object I digest- but I digress I was never going to impress you But I’m always one to try You’re always one to speak your wronged mind And I’m always the one at fault I’m sorry I couldn’t be all the girls you want. Those Hedi Slimane type girls Those sugar cube for breakfast type girls Those skinny scarfs, skinny jeans, skinny love type girls   Those white and white type girls Those I’ll praise you like the apple that bruised Newton type girls I’ll join you with your fanatic boy fantasies They won’t include me But have me along for the ride I got comfortable, I slipped up Forget the basic whatnots we both lack   For a second I noticed your eyes were not black Despite gazing into them a number of times before This time I noticed there was a light First time I didn’t stare back at my reflection...
