If you feel too much. If you dream too big. If you’re building yourself in your 20s — this space is for you.
Hey, I'm Ayirah J. Adair. I'm a writer in my early 20s living in New York and a proud community college student majoring in accounting, with a deep passion for authentic storytelling. I write romantic, tragic, meaningful stories mixed with 2000s nostalgia and the tiny moments we don't say out loud. Each week, I share short stories, book reflections, young adult survival guides, inspiration, and the real thoughts that don't always get spoken out loud. If you’re looking for relatable, unscripted life content from a young adult learning what it means to live life fully in her 20s, you’re in the right place.

Read Never Find by Ayirah J. Adair
It’s 2009, and Summer is spending her last family vacation in Jamaica before everything changes. There, she meets a boy with beautiful brown skin, pearly white teeth, and a sweetness she doesn’t expect to find. But with the pressure of returning to the States, applying to colleges, and stepping into a brand-new decade, Summer already has enough weighing on her shoulders. She doesn’t expect to find her second half, she doesn’t expect to fall in love, and she definitely doesn’t expect to wonder if she’s ready to say goodbye. Dive into summer heat, first loves, and the aching nostalgia of the 2000s in this emotional coming-of-age story about love, change, and growing up before you’re ready.
