02 Oct 31 days to a better twenty-something-year-old…
I think I’m late to jumping on the band wagon, but it seems I’m finally aboard. I made the very last minute boarding call. The Nester is having a 31 day challenge to pick something that you love and blog about it everyday in October. Since I love October and love blogging, I figured it was a challenge worth accepting. The only problem was when I popped over to check out the Nester’s update, it seemed everyone was already on board and my original ideas chugged away with them.
That being said there is something that I do know a lot about…being twenty-something. So…wait for it…
31 days to a better twenty-something-year-old…
I think being a twenty-something is tough. Yes, it may actually be “the best time of life,” but it does not come free of challenges and broken things (bones, hearts, minds, spirits), you name it and it probably gets broken during your twenties. So for thirty-one days I’ll be attempting to talk about how to make the most of these crazy, wonderfully painful, testing, awesome, and confusing years.
As I began to ponder what I really know about being a twenty-something…the one thing I continued to come back around to was that…there is always more to learn.
Like for instance…today, I learned (was reminded) that it’s good to make new friends, that telling the truth always trumps telling lies, and that sometimes you just need to be moody…
Lessons from a three and five-year-old, mind you.
#1: Always keep in mind that you’re never too smart to learn something new.
This little one? Well clearly, she’s a little younger than twenty-something but she does, in fact, know everything. Or at least seems to believe so.
However, she hasn’t quite learned how to swing yet…
My point?
We don’t ever figure it out. Life is a process; an ever-growing, ever-changing, ever-shifting process. You move, adapt, grow, shrink to fit into the places you find yourself.
You have to start over, learn something new.
So as you navigate through your twenties, don’t you dare be so brazen to think that you’ve got it all figured out. Because that, my friend, is a huge mistake.
