20s

"It is in the twenties that the actual momentum of life begins to slacken, and it is a simple soul indeed to whom as many things are significant and meaningful at thirty as at ten years before." ― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Beautiful and Damned

20s

Being in your mid 20s are much complicated than experiencing adolescent stage.

Why? Because you're not that old yet you should act like one.

You're still young yet you already have responsibilities of an adult piling up to you.

It's quite pressuring isn't it?

It feels like a battlefield – more likely an assessment.

In that era you can tell if you could survive the future, or not.

It's like an investment, so that you can be more prepared for tomorrow's sake.

You can be responsible and irresponsible, at the same time.

It's like a trial and error stage.

You could make wrong decisions and make it right after.

You may lose something – it could be old friends from your teenage years or things you've treasured the most, or maybe someone that is special in your heart.

You'll cry a lot until you'll cry often.

You'll suddenly change and then became distant to everyone.

You'll realize that time has to be managed wisely.

You barely have time for everything you wanted to do,

You barely have time for your friends or family –

Even barely have time for yourself.

In this age, things could be more tiring.

You'll feel more intoxicated each day.

You'll be wiser and have your own words of wisdom too.

You'll barely have fun because you're busy focusing in other things that are more important than that.

Whatever it is – 20 should be limitless.

You can still be spontaneous just like when you're still a teenager.

As long as you're responsible in whatever consequences after – you can still do the things you wanted to do in life.

And most important, don't stop dreaming even if you're done being in twenties.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
