Diary of a Mad Black 20-something🪶
i posted the first slide on my instagram story and got so many likes. so many swipe-ups, heart eyes, ‘hyb’s . . . the superficial validation draws nearer to torture 💔
none of that ever really mattered to me. i’m way more into the physical, precious, actually-real lives we have, and so often it feels as though I am the only one.
more about me as this is my 1st post!!!
333motional Scorpio ♏️ (my birthday is 10/26!)
I have severe ADHD so it’s really difficult to maintain old friendships (relationships were never supposed to be digital)
I’m 22 years old and no longer in college or working more than 1 day/week so it’s been so hard making new ones, aggravated by my over-literalness
Im very experiential and interested in yoga+wellness
I live in CT, about an hour away from NYC, where I was born and raised, if anyone can relate….lets be friends so I don’t have to cry writing a lemon8 post🫶 ps. I promise I won’t always be so sappy

In a world increasingly fueled by digital interactions, feelings of loneliness can amplify, especially for young adults. Many are grappling with similar experiences, feeling isolated despite being surrounded by social media validation. It's vital to focus on genuine connections and prioritize wellness practices such as yoga, which can help bridge the emotional gap. As a 22-year-old, I find that expressing my true self through creativity and vulnerability fosters a sense of community. Sharing our challenges, including managing ADHD and maintaining friendships, opens doors to deeper connections. This space encourages honesty and support, where we can learn from each other's stories and embrace our unique journeys together. We’re all navigating life’s complexities, and by sharing our authentic selves, we can create a stronger feeling of belonging. Remember, it’s okay to seek friends who understand and relate to your struggles. Embracing vulnerability not only liberates us but also lays the groundwork for meaningful relationships.


Welcome! So excited to see more from you in the future💛
