What I learned in my 20s✨

> There are times when we sit and ask ourselves,

"Growing up, why is it still confusing?" 🧐

But being with myself more often

I found something unexpected, I cried, I smiled.

So I wanted to write what 20-year-olds taught us.

1. Do not hurry to be as good as others

I used to feel lost when I saw people around me working, earning well, living the way they wanted, but we discovered that everyone had the opportunity to act and have a rhythm.

It's good to do something new.

2. Some people around them disappear for no reason -

And those people aren't guilty of anything.

Like in high school, used to be very close to a lot of people, have a lot of acquaintances, grow up and don't keep in touch, those intimacies decrease with time, if at all, may be a bit upset, think a lot, but now we understand that... some relationships come in for temporary and gradually disappear.

By the time

3. Don't be strong all the time - cry sometimes.

I've had terrible things, but I have to keep them because I don't want people around me to know we're weak.

Then he realized that "brilliance" did not have to pretend to endure.

But being weak doesn't mean not being good.

4. Money is not everything, but makes us happy.

It makes us understand that financial planning matters.

How much? If we try to find a job to make money, we will not starve to death, because every item that we want to visit requires money, and when there is more, we will know more value than when we have it, and make us live a happy life without suffering anyone.

5. Love is not the answer to everything.

Used to love a person so much that we felt that we could give him everything to forget for ourselves, and one day we decided to see that...How much less do we love ourselves for him?

Since then, it makes us love ourselves more. If someone has to be better than when we are alone. If there is, then make us love ourselves less, it is wise to be alone, live life first.

6. "Being with yourself to be" is a precious gift.

Of this age

Since going to college, we are people who are better at living alone, going to concerts, going to find favorite artists, shopping, traveling, going to movies, eating alone. All alone are happy but secretly lonely. Because the more we have to do alone, there is no one who can always go around with us. Each person has a different path to like.

To those who are confused, those who are tired, confused, or not as good as others, please know that...

"We don't have to be everything now. No rush.

You don't have to be as good as everyone else. Just being "ourselves" who is still trying to stay away is very good. "🤍
