20 Something…

A Series: Reframing the realities of the 20 somethings…

There’s so much advice online about surviving your 20’s. Step by step guides; “how to’s” all framing this period of life like surviving another world war, and it’s terrifying. I was expecting to lose all my friends and have some sort of “spiritual awakening” as soon as the clock hit 00:00 on my 20th birthday, and whilst some of that happened (lol), since turning 20 life has also been so much more. I’ve moved to a different country alone, graduated university, welcomed new relationships and honestly started to feel more…me, and that’s what people fail to share.

I wanted to reframe the nuances of this decade as I live through it; sharing all of the realities instead of just focusing on the horror stories that plague our feeds. This isn’t our regular advice, but instead a diary into life as I learn lessons, experience and in my true nature, ask too many questions!

Whether you’re preparing to enter your 20s or currently living in this chapter, I hope this series brings you peace and an avenue of relatability for life as a fellow 20 something…
