Real Talk

My uninspired ass felt inspired by how uninspired I felt today! IFKYK.

Anyways. I wrote this on my Instagram today and then shared it on Facebook.

“One size does not fit all when it comes to being in our 20s.

I’m 25. This is the weirdest age I’ve ever been. People are always telling me the same thing about being 25. That is has to be the best time of my life. My 20s.

I found this article that articulates the most relatable facts about being in my 20s.

“We are growing into ourselves across a whole lifetime, not just throughout one decade. Let’s all retire the idea of our 20s as a #bestlife—and just strive for a good one.”

COVID happened. Life is happening FAST. This idea that our 20s has to be “a golden age of rootless freedom and fearless exploration and, somewhat contradictorily, the time when you’re meant to figure out your career, your relationships, and your life goals…” creates immense pressure and has felt unrealistic.

Being 25 is f****ing hard and weird and exhausting. There are beautiful moments & cherished moments.

But there are also days I wish we could forget or days where confusion and sadness creep in with the insecurity of what the world will be like as time goes on.

For anyone who needs to hear this, your whole life is a journey. The now is simply the now and life is indeed what you make it… but your 20s DO NOT have to be the most amazing part of your life. We are loving, learning, working, creating, and struggling. We’re looking forward and doing the best we can, your best is all you can do sometimes and that can look different day to day.”

I drew inspo from an amazing article from a freelance writer. Check it out here!
