If you're in your 20s, I'm going to tell you the truth that nobody told me your 20s actually suck. Everybody tells you this is the best time in your life, but when you're in it, it feels like the opposite of that. You're hotter than you'll ever be. You have more energy, but you're kind of broke. You're a total mess. You can't figure out what you want to do with your life. You feel lost. You're dating somebody, you're not dating somebody. You have kind of a miserable job. You're single, often with crazy emotions. You're probably out drinking more than you should. But here's the thing. Everybody's been there. It, it's totally normal. And honestly, at the end of the day, your 30s end up being pretty awesome. Maybe not the first couple years, but coming into them is a blast. You finally have money, you kind of have an idea of what you want to do with your life. You're not so emotionally volatile, people are slightly more mature. You don't have to date idiot 20 year olds on either side of the equation. So just know it gets better. And if it sucks right now, guess what? It's supposed to.
