Being 23

Why does being in your twenties feel so weird? Why does it feel like any time you mistep your life is over or that you're running out of time? I'm 23 and I'm so overly cautious about wasting my life and it's horrifying

Hi 😊 Being over double of your age at this time, I see the time when I was 20+ totally as NOT lost. That was the time when I was experimenting with education paths, jobs, relationships, friendships, getting to know myself better, finding the right path and... unavoidably making some poor choices or mistakes. But I would never say it was a waste of time. In my view it's the period when you still have a lot of life in front of you.

The good news is you can be 20+ through the next decades of your life, as long as you are active and open - the rest being just "system upgrades" with some new experiences 😊 

@modorange07 Your twenties feel like a puzzle with half the pieces missing and that’s exactly how it’s supposed to be. It’s less about having everything mapped out and more about learning to embrace the unknown.

So, don’t stress the missteps, they’re part of the blueprint.

Time’s not running out and it’s just getting started😉
