20 vs 30

This is that time most of us are forging into the work environment, establishing meaningful relationships, raising a kid, and all this seems confusing because you seem not to have a plan. I’m here to remind you that it’s okay, you are a work in progress.

Weirdly enough, I’m anticipating becoming 30 something, I don’t care about all that my 30s would bring, the extra bulges, stretch marks, cellulite, not forgetting building a family and career, anything that scares a 20 something is all I’m looking forward to embracing in my years ahead.

Your 20s are a dress rehearsal for adulthood whereas your 30s are the real performance, meaning that as much as you are having a hard time now doesn’t guarantee that your 30s will be easy. The good thing is, you will experience a new set of challenges but with a clear perspective and attitude than when you are in your 20s. They bring a greater level of self-awareness.

In your 20s you feel the urge to keep a bunch of friends, to feel loved and accepted, but as years go by you start finding your right tribe, people who share the same ideas as yours, people who push you to be better and do better.

In all likelihood, your love life, a soup of devastating heartbreak, a bunch of entanglements here and there, careless decisions. I would call it a mess. You see that confusion is all part of the formative process of being an adult.

In summary, every outcome of your life no matter the age or stage all narrows down to the decisions and choices you make, the attitude you put in no matter what that stage has thrown at you.
