things I wish people told me in my early 20s
youโre so young and you have so much time - do not feel pressured to have everything sorted or figured out or make major life decisions please take your time and relax
how youโre perceived by others doesnโt matter and you have to live life for yourself and do whats right for you. most of the people whoโs opinions feel important now will be completely irrelevant in 5 years, they donโt matter at all.
you donโt need anyone to save you or take care of you, you can do that all by yourself
thereโs nothing inherently wrong with you, you arenโt broken and you donโt need to be fixed. you are loveable and wonderful. be gentle with yourself.
everyone has their own path and their own timeline. enjoy yours and donโt compare your journey to others. your time will come and itโs all part of the becoming and unfolding of your story and who you are
you will make mistakes and bad decisionsโฆ doesnโt mean youโre irredeemable or your life is unfixable. there is no wrong path or bad version of the story destiny will flow where itโs meant to always
many things which feel like a huge deal now will fade into insignificance in a few yearsโฆ it may hurt for a moment but long term it really doesnโt have a major impact on your life. youโll be okay
