Twentysomething✨️
I know I talk crap on being a twentysomething, but I’m only half-kidding. In actuality, there’s no age I’d rather be. Besides, maybe 5 years old because they don’t do anything besides eat and poop themselves. (That sounds like an ideal life to be completely honest.)
Maybe. I don’t know. How would I? I’m just a twentysomething, remember?
This is what your twenties are for : to feel and see as much as you can, to take advantage of not being tied down to anything and anyone You’re a raw nerve. You hate getting upset over little things about being constantly unraveled by ignored text messages, parents, grades, and friends, but you have to remember something: you don’t know yourself entirely yet.
Before the age of 20, you were mostly under your paren' s care, a reflection of what was going on around you. You didn’t have the option to make your own choices. You were merely living the life someone set out for you.
Being in your twenties allows you to start carving out the life you want for yourself. Everything is on your terms now which seems daunting but is actually liberating. For the first time in your life you’re the boss.
It’s important to talk about why your twenties are great because it seems like we spend so much of our time wanting to be somewhere else other than where we are. Think about it. Why the hell are we in such a hurry to live some boringgrown-upp adult life ? Because once we do get there, we’re stuck for a long time. The novelty’s going to wear off, we’re going to get married by men ( sounds scary) and have babies, and everything will be amazing I imagine but don’t think for a second that you won’t be nostalgic for this time. Don’t think for a second that you’re not going to miss those nights you spent putting on your make up, changing five million times, drinking wine, smoking cigarettes out your apartment window, and going to some silly party, a party that feels like all the others you’ve been to but still has the right to feel special.
You will miss all of this. This is a luxury. It’s going to leave us eventuall, so you better freaking enjoy it. You better enjoy every lame ass party, every awkward kiss, every 5 A.M hangover, every drug experience, every crappy apartment, because one day it will all be gone and you’ll just be left with the pictures and the bruises and nothing else. Youth is fu**ing magic.
Don’t you get it? Look at your skin! Touch it. Look at your smooth legs and stomach flat as the Authors tummy before liking a man in her early 20s (Grab it). When you’re older, you’ll want all of this again so bad. You’ll possibly spend so much money to get some semblance of it back. Now it’s yours for free.
As twentysomethings, we’re constantly moving apartments, relationships, cities and jobs. Anything is possible. People are ready for you. They want to hear what you have to say. They look at you and are curious about what words are going to come out of your mouth,What do you have to say? Don’t bite your tongue. One day you’ll be pushed aside for a younger “fresher” perspectiv, so you better get it out now. Make a mark. Make a stain. Make something.
This is your time to do everything you want , a decade of doing anything and learning.
So , date people you like , in relationships or not , beat your ex ( I am not condoning violence) have that baby if you want , don't have it too if you don't want , date those friends am not saying get STIs am saying have fun and make calculated moves that;makes you happy, whatever you do now will be memories you carry in your next decade which are your thirties.
I’m going to be a twentysomething because that’s what I am and all I know how to be. And you should too. You should love every single moment of this hot mess of a decade. Chances are you’ll miss it before you even get to say “I’m 30.”♥️
