twenties.

As a teeny girl, the start of your twenties was when your life was beginning. you knew it all. you should have it all figured out. right? wrong.
Apart of me knew this was going to happen.

twenty.two. I am well set into that year. along with my closest friends, friends who I don't see as much( sad.) and those 'friends' who used to be friends. Set long time goals. finish up school and be on my way to my life of happiness. while i am doing that- I have the pleasure of witnessing the opposite side.

It truly seems as of today (and yesterday) twenties are pushed to make us way older than we are. All over social media (because we all know that it consumes life. - you know it does.) is engagements, weddings and of course babys. twenty.two?

It has honestly become the 'norm'. We tend to compare ourselves to others. whether you are the same age or not. It is just in us. (including myself). Its hard not to. Who has the most exciting life going on. well- look on their Facebook, instagram or twitter. It will tell you.

I have started to think about how easy it is to be changed by our age. (twenties). This molds each and everyone of us. It is sad actually. who is who to tell each other what and what not to do. to tell someone what exactly you should be doing at the age of (twenty. two.) um. not me. because I sure as heck change that mold.

it is very clear to forget that you are your own person. you do your own life. and live how you want to live it. no molds, no contracts, no 'suppose to's' or how people expect you to.

As I am at this very moment so content with my life and enjoying the lives of my friends and family around me. Its important to me to live in the moment. try to strive to do everything on my bucket list (plus some) and know that wherever life takes me. its TRULY okay not to always be dependent on what others are doing at the same time. Life is a hard reminder on how un-perfect each and everyone of us really is. no matter how much we pretend we are.


twenty. two. I'm just gonna do you.
