The 20s, the best time of your lives. There are many articles telling you what the best part is and that's all dependent on personal circumstances. Maybe this is the year you finalize your career plans, maybe this is the year you become 100% confident with yourself, maybe this is the year you discover a passion you never expected to have, and maybe this is the year you filter out people. People will come and go, and looking back, that could not be more true. There are the ones who are there for you since day 1 - the ones who are truly irreplaceable - but, there are also people who don't have your best interest at heart and these people aren't meant to stay in your life forever.

Aside from the beauty of your 20's, no one ever told you that this would be the start of pure confusion. The real world is a few steps away and there really isn't a class to prepare you for that. However, there are 20 quotes that aid in the right direction. Through the highs and lows, words have so much power. Positivity presents such historic moments; picture yourself achieving your goal and it will come your way. I promise.
