Marilyn Monroe (by Sam Shaw 1956)

Over it. Over it. Over it. 

At 25

At 25 I’m smoking cigarettes to cope with stress.

At 25 I’m smoking weed every night to cope with anxiety.

At 25 I’m taking 30 mg of Prozac to cope with depression.

At 25 I cry because I’m not where I’m “supposed” to be.


AT 25 IM A FULL TIME TEACHER IMPACTING THE LIVES OF URBAN YOUTH.

AT 25 IM A GRAD STUDENT FOLLOWING MY DREAM OF PR.

AT 25 IM LIVING IN THE APARTMENT OF MY DREAMS WITH AN AMAZING FRIEND.

AT 25 IM WORKING THROUGH MY ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION BY SEEING A PSYCHIATRIST.

AT 25 IM EXACTLY WHERE I NEED TO BE.

“She is a paradox. She is committed and yet relaxed. She loves everyone, and yet no one. She is sociable and also a loner. She is gentle and yet tough, she is passionate but also platonic. In short she is predictable in her own unpredictability.”
