I’m stuck at my parents’ place past 20, so my writing’s basically ‘stoned’—everything feels surreal and like I’m a high school student being taught by my parents. Living at home past 20 is giving me that ‘stoned’ surrealism—my parents talk like teachers, I act like a student, and now my whole story’s got that weird high-school energy.

People sometimes use high schooler to mean an adult in their 20s who still lives with their parents and feels stuck in a student–teacher dynamic. Nonetheless, I’m basically a high schooler at home—staying with my parents longer than expected because I can’t afford moving out yet.
