It's often said that the hardest years of our life are the ones between the ages 20 and 29. For most that means they're finishing up college, trying to find a job, and even starting a family. As someone who is in the beginning years of this stage in life, it's hard to believe there's ever an end to anything. Between relationships not working out, work life going up and down faster than a ride at Six Flags, and trying to save money to make it in the real world, your early 20s are hard. The most important thing that you have to remember is there is always more to life than the problems you're experiencing right now. Some quotes help us more than others.
1. It Matters
Losing things in life is going to happen. Losing friends, family members, boys, and even pets is going to hurt the worst. It's never easy, but knowing it hurts means everything you're hurting for was totally worth it.
2. Dreams
You've had some of the same dreams your whole life, and now you're at that point of where you should be achieving those dreams. Don't let yourself down! You have been training all your life to accomplish what you want so keep trucking along and make yourself proud.
3. Will Not Pass
No, you didn't get that cool internship at that awesome company, but it clearly wasn't meant to be. And yeah, that boy broke your heart, but you know now that he wasn't the right one from you. Despite everything you may or may not believe in, if it was meant for you, you'll know.
4. Love
I'm one of those people who can be described as "too nice." It works out for everyone else, but for me it's sometimes a pain. This quote explains it all; I just have love for others, and that's never a bad thing.
5. Weaknesses
Despite the fact that some don't believe in God, this quote is still very relatable. We have to realize that our family and friends will always be there to help us through the toughest of our times, and it's good to learn this earlier rather than later.
6. Scary Thoughts
If you can reach your dreams with ease then they aren't high enough. Dreams are supposed to take hard work and determination, and if you aren't working toward your goals and dreams then you need to dream bigger.
7. Travel
If you don't dream of traveling the world and meeting a new best friend who speaks with an accent, then you're probably lying. Everyone has done it at least once.
8. All about You
Trying to search for the things you want in life is really hard when you don't know who you are as a person. No better time to find yourself than in your twenties when you have time to work things out. Never give up on yourself.
9. Work the Hardest
You can't change how much talent you were given, but you can change how hard you work.
10. Be There
If you aren't 100 percent into whatever you're doing, than why are you even doing it?
11. Not Yet
Nothing sums up life in your 20s more than knowing it isn't the end and everything will be OK, no matter what happens.
