This is honestly exactly how I’ve been feeling and I’m really loving it! And so true about the fact that we now don’t have a fear that we’re too basic, mainstream etc. this time around i’m very vocal about it and have no regrets/shame/whatever that was. Also love this and the lorde reference ‘Us teen girls in our 20s may be little but we’re coming for the crown.’!!! 💕✨
I am a 39 year old teenage girl and although many aspects of my life look like I am a full grown adult, I feel the me-ist of me when I am painting my nails listening to a playlist I made myself and messaging my group chat of school pals with some absolute crack up nonsense, and just generally doing my best to avoid doing any jobs or adulting
Loved this. And Luce SYSCA is such a big part of fostering this vibe for me. Every morning (or close enough) having you in my inbox joyously announcing what you're loving and letting yourself enjoy shit has really encouraged me to do the same. So yeah it's all changing but just personally for me, sysca has been such a driving force behind that xxxx
I often feel like I've been 17 years old ever since I turned 18. I'm 23 now, and I'm still dealing with a lot of the same issues I had when I was a teen, like depression and anxiety and insecurity about my body image. I feel like a lazy teen most of the time these days (partly because I'm still looking for a job after graduating college last year😅) and it sucks. But I'd be lying if I said I wasn't just a little bit nostalgic for it, too.
This is EVERYTHING Luce!!! Thank you for putting my exact feelings as a twenty-something into beautiful words that I will happily bookmark and come back to over and over again. Absolutely adore this and your writing 🫶
"we dont want mortgages we want memories" my version of this is "money is temporary but memories are forever" thats pretty much how ive been living my life this year and i think i have felt more emotions in the last 8 months than i have the rest of my life combined....
Beautiful words. So thoughtful. Definitely been feeling a desire to go back in time, so to speak. Nostalgia has been hitting me hard, which is so odd because I always looked forward to escaping adolescence as a teenager. Now all I can do is reminisce on moments when it felt like the world wasn’t falling apart, like there was still some structure to the universe.
A dangerous and jarringly uncritical manifesto at that - larping as empowering ideas - the encouragement of resignation and acceptance - or recession into the past - that is needed less than ever as we are faced with the challenge of constructing a new and alternative future.
“We don’t want mortgages, we want memories”!

sometimes reminiscing is all we can do, and be thankful that we made these memories in the first place 🫶🫶
Reads like a manifesto and I’m rowdy for it
ROWDY FOR IT IS SUCH A GOOD PHRASE
