    Your twenties are thoroughly absurd

    don't take them so seriously, or yourself so seriously. This isn't a play, it isn't a film, it isn't an opera...it is just you. The same you that used to watch Buffy and Angel when you were a tweener, the same you that probably listened to boy bands when you were a kid. As one poster aptly put it, you are an identity waiting to happen. You like the drama and because you are immature you are more attracted to whomever has rejected you. It's textbook. Cultivate an identity, grow, stop pretending your life is a foreign film with an obscure soundtrack because it isn't. It's just you and you aren't very unusual or special, you are in your twenties. We all go through them and act like nitwits.
