Just some thoughts on turning twenty.
Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice (the fact twenty-one is the cut off, the time when women must become self-conscious of their age. It’s a different time, sure, but it’s still strange to be on this precipice...), Mitski, ‘Class of 2013′, extract of a poem I wrote (tormented by how birthdays sometimes seem an endurance test, it is a miracle to still be alive, to have outlived others, the privilege of growing up and growing old, and yet it is all so exhausting to know you still have decades of life to get through, joy and pain, etc.), Unknown seventeenth-century painter from the Veneto, Portrait of Angela Adorni Sbardellini, Prioress of the Zitelle (I like the contrast between her and her costume, the complicated creases and folds vs her still young face, she seems a girl peeking out of an adult body), Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals, Florence + the Machine, ‘Free’, picture of Marilyn Monroe at twenty, Luke Hemmings, ‘Diamonds’

Ok, I love how you can be friendly/polite to Jareth and Noir, and then go full flirt on them during the brunch and both of them are confused but also 👀 @ MC. Meanwhile, Twenty is so bashful. I love how different each one of them are.
noir is a great flirt with the MC when it's just for fun and he's not terrified they might seriously like him, jareth simply enjoys a fellow conniver. twenty is autistic and often doesn't even realise he's being flirted with and even when he does doesn't understand why

Twenty is OUT NOW!! i wrote this song a year ago after i turned, you guessed it, twenty. it was preceded by months of super intense growing pains as i straddled the line between childhood and adulthood. a year out, i can confirm that twenty's truly just the start of the line 🤍
listen here: spotify / apple music / youtube

I am rotting at 20
I still fight my tongue saying 17
My tea isn’t as sweet
Lying awake at 3am brings ache
I’ve outgrown a porn genre
But I’m still wearing my sophomore panties
brown soda hurts my teeth
calcium gone before I can move onto stronger juices
I am gorgeous
I’m trying to learn I always was
Never sexy
But pretty
pretty little baby
yearning for breasts
Now, also, still,
sit in a changing room for 2 decades
with padded cups empty
I’m not rotten
But feeling every sore muscle
7 hour school days turn into 16 hour shifts
even still there’s time to feel
I am not old enough please be patient
my prime hasn’t left my fingers
Prayers be damned I am still young
Hair soft
Perfume sweet
Newly 20
Three years past 17
- me
