Okay I want to start off by saying, my god this was so beautiful. Easily one of my favorite substack reads. My 20s so far have been nothing short of what you just described. I am currently writing a similar piece about growing up. It has been so hard (and I’m only 21! lol!) but you summed up all the hellish and beautiful things about our 20s. So much of this resonated and so much of this made me feel comforted. So thank you! And here’s to our 20s! 🩵
Truly short of words because this is a lot to digest. I resonate with this deeply because sadly most of us if not all are going through this in one form or another. Thank you Hasif for speaking up, writing and being you. I strive to be this vocal, detailed and true; There's just a lot of things that needs to be spoken about. God bless!
i'm just in the beginnning of my twenties ,and l already cant take it anymore.i feel like we always want to be smth or someone ,but nerver ourselves,we dont look to ourselves as souls but as products,as projects,we're so obsessed with having it all ,with the potential we carry ,the things we could do ,that we forget to actually live.i do believe that age is just number,you can feel the chaos of your twentiess all over again in your forties. i chose to see myself as a soul ,who's just a baby ,constantly learning, unlearning, and learning again .let your soul dictate your path and not social media .
wow. I feel everything you just said. I'm 24 and believe me, it's a rollercoaster! I took a gap year in Norway, quit university twice, went to Costa Rica for 8 months, worked there, came back and became a flight attendant for 1.5 years, left again for México, just came back home after 6 months traveling. and now I'm trying to figure out my next steps. it's scary as hell but also fun and exciting!
Every word every sentence I second. While reading i felt someone has put all my heart out on words. It is now making sense that all humans feel same but we never taught or learn how to navigate feelings.
think our 20’s is the turning point that we need to get through and learn from in order to be real adults and deal with the real world
This is beautifully written. Thanks, hashir! 🫶🏼

life is not supposed to be "useful".
