Sometimes we just need a little bit of inspiration during this crazy time that they call "the 20s." So, what better burst of inspiration is there than a few quotes?
"Live for the moment, because everything else is uncertain." - Louis Tomlinson
It's true. Everything is so uncertain. What are you going to do for a living? Where are you going to move? Will you get a job? Well, while you definitely have to start getting your stuff together, you truly never know what is going to happen. Enjoy each moment and opportunity that presents itself.
"Every time we make the decision to love someone, we open ourselves to great suffering... The greatest pain comes from leaving. The pain of leaving can tear us apart. Still, if we want to avoid the suffering of leaving, we will never experience the joy of loving. We have to trust that the risk of loving is always worth taking." - Henri J.M. Nouwen
There are many times when you may question whether the pain of possibly losing someone is worth it, but it is so important to be able to put yourself out there and trust that you will be lead to the right place.
"The worst mistakes are the ones you never learn from."
Sometimes you have to make mistakes and learn from them yourself, but if you end up making that same mistake twice, don't blame anyone else.
"The simplicity of it is this: give everything you have to give in every moment, completely." - David Deida
Whether it is in your classes, your job, your relationship, or any other aspect of your life, make sure to always give everything that you have.
"If nothing ever changed, there'd be no butterflies."
Change may be hard sometimes, but it is also necessary.
"You know, all that matters is that the people you love are happy and healthy, everything else is just sprinkles on the sundae." - Paul Walker
Always think about how important both your health and the health of those who are around you truly is.
"Good things fall apart so better things can fall together." - Marilyn Monroe
If a relationship fails or something just seems to fall apart that was once great, don't worry because something better will come along in time.
"Find a group of people who challenge and inspire you, spend a lot of time with them, and it will change your life."
Your 20s are a time of growth and change, which is why it's important to surround yourself with people who really do make you a better person.
"People are just as wonderful as sunsets if you let them be. When I look at a sunset, I don't find myself saying, 'Soften the orange a bit on the right hand corner.' I don't try to control a sunset. I watch with awe as it unfolds."
Be more accepting of people. Realize that, just like every sunset is different, every person is different, yet beautiful in their own ways.
"There are far better things ahead than any we leave behind."
Remember, as scary as the future may seem, it is also exciting and there is so much to look forward to in the years to come.
