This Woman Explains Why Your Life Will Not Be ‘Over’ By The Time You Turn 30

ADVERTISEMENT

The 20’s is one of the most confusing and trickiest decades in everyone’s life. Once you embark into this decade, you suddenly begin to live as an adult, but only a few of us really know what that entails. While every young person frantically juggles newfound responsibilities, opportunities, and burdens, older generations rush to advise us on how to do things right and what we are supposed to be doing.

Every 20-something-year-old is told that this decade is for sorting out your life by picking a career path, getting financially stable, getting an apartment and finding a serious relationship. That’s the reason why many young people feel that their life will be ‘over’ by the time they will reach the age of 30 because, clearly, all these goals are unrealistic to achieve in just one decade when you have your whole life ahead of you!

Despite what your parents and grandparents may tell you, there may be more important and reasonable things to do in your 20’s. According to Twitter user @lovethediosa what you should worry the most right now is learning to be who you are. She encourages people to sort their emotional baggage, childhood issues and finally learn how to accept themselves instead of trying to find themselves. “You are not lost”, she says so righteously. Scroll below to read her thread of advice on what to do in you 20’s.

    Everyone is an individual and for some, dealing with "emotional baggage" in their twenties might be perfect. For others though, it's impossible. Others still may be still adding to that baggage in their twenties. All of these things (and a million other combinations) are normal! I like these posts because thinking about your mental health is never a bad thing but everyone is an individual.

    Change older, to younger. Same goes. Boomers like me really get slammed, but we really tried, and we never meant any harm, and we are sorry peace didn't take hold. We don't understand why you think we are dumb.

    I wouldn't worry too much, in a few decades the twenty and thirty-somethings who are dumping s**t on the 'boomers' will be copping exactly the same s**t because they'll also manage to screw things up and their kids and grandkids will be blaming them for everything.

    Being in a fixed relation for my entire twenties left me not learning that much. Now at 34 being single for the first time in over 14 years makes me realize I have a lot of learning still to do. Feels like I'm at 24 more then 34.
