Your 20s Are Your Selfish Years

Finding Yourself

Your 20s Are Your Selfish Years

We've all been lost before. Every last one of us. We think we're supposed to have everything figured out in our twenties--our career path, who we'll marry, where we'll live, how many children we'll have. The pressure of choosing the right path to follow lays heavy on us every day.

Your twenties are supposed to be your selfish (you) years. Find yourself. Buy a one-way ticket to a foreign country with a hundred dollars in your pocket. Fall in love. A lot. Get your heart broken. Break hearts along the way. Stop being scared of what could happen and just enjoy yourself. How will we know what the right choice is if we don't take risks?

Fuck planning things out.

Embrace spontaneity. Feel out vibes. Make decisions when it feels right. I promise you that you will find yourself amongst the chaos. And trust me, there will be chaos. Always remember that everything happens for a reason. Things will work out the way they are designed to. You will amount to something great. Something magnificent, actually. Someday you will wake up next to the love of your life and there will be a ray of sunshine splashed across their face. You'll then know in that moment that this is why God put you through all the hard times, the "I don't think I can do this anymore" days, the "when will things get better?" days. We have to have those days to make us appreciate true happiness within the good ones.

The hard times we are put through shape us into the people we're supposed to be.

Things will get better.

Trust me

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
