You thought your 20's would be great. You thought you'd meet the best kinds of people, fall in love, and land the dream job you spent your whole life planning for. Except it's not happening like that. Maybe your dreams have changed now that you've grown up. Maybe you've lost a few friends along the way. Some days your happy, but some days you're very sad, and wondering how it can be possible for everyone except you to have their life together. I hope you know that you aren't alone. Your 20's are great. But they aren't easy. I've made a lot of mistakes in a very short amount of time. I've cried, I've screamed, and I've wondered when things would get easier (I heard they don't). I've thought about giving up, I've lost friends, and I've felt incredibly broken. Except I've learned something important: Just because you feel broken does not mean you are broken. Broken spirits don't mean broken dreams. Broken hearts don't mean broken futures. And broken thoughts don't mean broken minds. Grab a cup of tea, let's share our thoughts and stop hiding. Let's talk about what it's like to be 20.
