Things I’m Learning in My 20s
I feel like your 20s are basically just realizing that nobody really knows what they’re doing.
You’re supposed to have dreams, goals, a career, relationships, money, your life together... meanwhile you’re just trying to remember to drink water and answer your messages.
♡ People may not always stay.
Some people are only meant to be part of certain chapters, and that
doesn’t make those chapters any less meaningful.
♡ I don’t have to have everything figured out.
I’m allowed to change my mind, take my time, and not know exactly where
my life is going yet.
♡ Outgrowing people is normal.
Sometimes you simply grow in different directions, and that’s okay.
♡ Being alone isn’t the same as being lonely.
There’s actually something beautiful about learning to enjoy your own company.
♡ I shouldn’t have to beg for love.
The right people shouldn’t make me feel like I have to constantly prove
that I’m worth choosing. This includes friends too and don’t forget to be a good partner and friend too to others xx
♡ Some things just take time.
I can’t rush every part of my life just because I’m scared I’m falling behind. You aren’t behind!!! Don’t compare your timeline to other people’s timelines
♡ Protecting my peace is important.
Not every argument needs my attention. Not every person needs access to me.
♡ I can love people and still choose myself.
Putting myself first sometimes doesn’t make me selfish. Choose YOU!!!
♡ The little things really do matter.
Good food, a call from your grandma, laughing until my stomach hurts with my siblings , getting my nails done, music I love, random conversations, pretty sunsets... life is happening in these little moments too.
♡ My worth isn’t dependent on becoming someone else.
I don’t need to be richer, cooler, smarter, or more like somebody else to be worthy of the life I want. I’m still figuring it all out. I’ll probably change my mind about some of these things a hundred times, and I’ll probably learn a hundred more lessons the hard way.
But maybe that’s the point of your 20s.
Learning. Changing. Making mistakes.
Losing people. Finding yourself.
And slowly becoming a little more you with every year.
Take this from a new 26 yr old,. ALWAYS keep these sentiments in your heart and close! It's going to get tough but one day everything will be worth it! Be kind to your self and give your self grace. You're going to make mistakes, but they don't define you. You can start over any damn time you want to! You are the author, the narrator, and the main character of your life story. Just make sure to always show up for yourself. Sending love frm Missus Twenty Sumthing <333
