To keep it simple, sometimes life can get a little complicated when you hit your twenties. Life is hard. It forces us to make decisions we never thought we'd have to make. You're going to feel lost at one point or another. Feeling lost is different for each of us but none of us can deny that it's not the best feeling.
I'm at a point in life where I can admit to myself that I failed to assess myself and figure out what I truly wanted which ultimately led to me feeling lost. Sometimes you have to accept the fact that maybe you enrolled in the wrong program. No matter how far down that wrong road you are, turn around.
For some of us, our 20s are a time when we start to build our careers and begin making decisions that define where we want to be for the next 10 years. For others, this is just a time in life where a lot of mistakes as well as a lot of changes are made.
Regardless, here are some things we could all be reminded of every once in awhile. If you think you’ve got it all figured out, you probably wouldn’t have clicked on this post.
