Being in My Twenties

I grew up with my mother always telling me to work hard for what I want in my life, and to never stop reaching for my dreams. As a child it seemed easier said than done. I didn't think that being an adult would be this much harder, then again, I was a child. 

The past few months made me realize how significant my dreams are, and how much I could relate to my mom's words of wisdom. 

Being in my twenties must the most challenging years I will ever face, and I have yet to reach the 'hard' parts of being an adult. At this age comes with much confusion, worries/anxieties, conflicts of interest, judgement from others, and many more I could think of. 

I became confused of my future, and how I want to get to where I want to be. Confused about what paths to take, and whether or not certain decisions will affect the outcome. I worry everyday of trying to make my parents proud of me, even when I think I haven't accomplished anything with my life so far. I have conflicts of whom in my life will make me stronger, and what friendships are beneficial or not to my growth. As well as being anxious of what others might think of the choices I make in my life. 

I am not going to lie about what I have mentioned above bothers me, because other people will most likely have the same personal issues. These are issues I am still afraid to admit to others. It is easier to type it out that say it out loud. I may worry about what other people may think about me, and what friendships I should rid of and not, but like I said, it's easier said than done, right? I think many people struggle with the same issues, and we shouldn't look down upon people who do have these thoughts. We're all human. We all have feelings. We all get hurt. And that's okay!

Being in my early twenties, I have dealt with mentally challenging thoughts that will break me down, and tear up my goals I have for myself. As long as I keep standing back up again, I know that my negativeness will never control what, and who I want to become. 

There are many things I want to do with my life, and so little time to achieve all those things. I just have to always remember, I am only in my twenties, and I have the rest of my life to accomplish my dreams. 

For those people who have lost their way, or feels like they are not achieving anything, just remember: You will get there. It doesn't matter how long it takes to follow your goals. What matters is the journey you take that will drive you to your dreams. Dream big, and your journey will be the best accomplishment you will make.
