Two decades have gone by. Two decades of decisions, regrets, accomplishments, and consequences. That means we have thousands of memories, but still are figuring out how to make better ones. While we'll never stop figuring this out, our twenties are a time to find ourselves and get some direction, eventually. These quotes might just help us find that.
On Fulfilling Dreams
1. Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not." -Dr. Suess
Dr. Suess put it simply, and with a rhyme. You are the only one who can make your dreams come true, don't expect anyone else to care as much as you do.
2. "It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live." -J.K. Rowling
Take the time now to have adventures, fulfill your dreams and take risks, rather than constantly putting off your dreams for a future date.
3. "We have so much time and so little to do. Strike that, reverse it." -Roald Dahl
Similar to Rowling's quote, Dahl stresses that time passes quickly, and there's much to do before it becomes too late.
On Friendships
4. "No friendship is an accident." -O. Henry
Every person comes into your life for a reason. Whether or not they stay there isn't always obvious and isn't always up to you, what matters is that you realize the impact they've had on your life.
5. "Find a group of people who challenge and inspire you; spend a lot of time with them, and it will change your life." -Amy Poehler
The twenties are a time for you to figure out with who you want to spend your time. It's not high school; you don't have to see anyone you have to put a fake smile for anymore.
6. "There is nothing like puking with somebody to make you into old friends." -Sylvia Plath
This is a fact. Enough said.
7. "Only a true friend would be that truly honest." -Shrek
This is just one of the many amazing quotes that have come from Shrek. Sometimes, being brutally honest is what's best for your friend
On Love
8. "But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best." -Marilyn Monroe
9. "What's meant to be will always find a way." -Trisha YearwoodDon't force it too much; things have a way of working out how they're supposed to.
10. "Love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction." -Antoine de Saint-Exupér
It's about moving forward in life rather than sitting in one spot staring at each other.
11. "Have enough courage to trust love one more time and always one more time." -Maya Angelou
Just because one relationship didn't work out doesn't mean you'll be hurt by all fo them. Keep your guard up, but give love a chance.
On Change
12. "Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself." -Leo Tolstoy
13. “It’s no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then.” -Lewis CarrollWe're always changing; don't resist it.
14. “To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often.” -Winston Churchill
On Hope
15. "There is some good in this world, and it's worth fighting for. "- J.R.R. Tolkien
No matter how bad things seem to get, there's always something good left to focus on.
16. “Remember, Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.” -Stephen King
Hope is never fully lost.
17. "I think it's a mistake to ever look for hope outside of one's self." -Arthur Miller
We're all strong, independent, powerful people. We have all of the hope we need to reach success within ourselves.
On Being Spontaneous
18. "Some of the most thrilling things in life are done on impulse. " -Syrie James
19. "Say yes and you'll figure it out afterwards." -Tina Fey
Some of the best nights come from these type of decisions.
