So, you're in your twenties and these are the days that drag the most but looking back, fly by the quickest (or so it seems). You have probably been in the process of finding yourself, losing yourself and finding yourself all over again for the past few years and that is okay. So, I'd love to share a few of my favorite quotes to encourage you on your journey.
