Your twenties are some of your best years when you truly learn who you are, what you desire, and what you're passionate about. In your twenties, you need to make mistakes; making mistakes not only teaches you lessons but also shows you what you are good at.

Every mistake, believe it or not, has a positive side to it. You also need to find who you are. This is a key factor of your twenties; aside from the growing you will do beyond your twenties, you grow so much in your twenties. Spend time in your twenties discovering yourself, your likes and dislikes, what you find appealing and not in people, what your preferences are, and what your interests are.

Find new hobbies that will mold you more into who you want to be and show you things you never thought you would like. Find the toxicity in your life and remove it; letting the toxicity stay is allowing the toxicity to win. Find the toxicity and don't allow to have a hold on you any longer. Find the things that make you a better person and do more of those things; volunteering at a humane society or soup kitchen are great ways to do this. Find someone to mentor or find a good leadership opportunity.

Spend time with your family, especially during these years, because you are becoming yourself during these years. Spend a lot of time traveling, whether it is to somewhere else in your state, another state, or another country; introduce yourself to different cultures and lifestyles of different places. Find something to believe in and grow in that; I'm a Christian and one of my focuses is strengthening my faith daily. Make plenty of memories during these years and make these years great.

Live your twenties to the fullest and don't look back!

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.
