A Poetic Wednesday Morning

 No life changing advice or hard hitting topics today...just some thoughts I wrote down while journaling about being in your 20's that someone else may be able to relate to or find comfort in knowing there are others that are experiencing the same challenges as them. 

Being in your 20's is hard and confusing and I'm having the time of my life but always worrying about what I'm doing with my life. I try not to get caught in the rat race but I find myself asking why I don't love my degree like others do, why aren't I travelling the world, is the reason I can't afford to buy a house like my friends because I'm bad at saving or don't work hard enough? So I work so hard that I don't have any time for friends. 

I am strong and independent, but the company of a lover wouldn't be turned away...but how is he going to fit into my solo travel dreams? Is he even a he, or is a she what I'm looking for. 

Being in your 20's is love, hate, heartbreak, the most joy you've ever felt, followed by the most anguish you've ever felt. It is the highest of high's and the lowest of lows, as life undulates around you. You will find your best friends...and your worst and you will truly understand the phrase "nothing is forever", both in your favour and against.

Being in your 20's is an unpredictable roller coaster, and all you can do is smile and ride the wave.
