I thought I would dread the death of my twenties more than I actually do.

This goes out to all my friends in their late twenties and early thirties. Do you remember when we were all young and thought we knew how the entire world worked? I specifically remember adults at my age now telling my young twenty year old self that I would change. I remember being told to not worry about certain situations and people, because they probably were not going to be there in five years.

I remember thinking that they were just old and boring and didn’t have any idea what they were talking about. I remember thinking that I would never change. I would always be my young and spry self.

Let’s all take a minute and laugh here.

BOY WAS I WRONG. We were probably all wrong. And if you were right, well congratulations! You are the first person that I have met that didn’t evolve through their twenties. You are a unicorn.

I thought I knew everything. I thought I had all the time in the world and I did, but I wasted some of it. My mindset was that I could always lose the weight tomorrow. I could always start saving tomorrow. It was always tomorrow. Never now. I procrastinated everything. I spent money like a Kardashian and I lived life day to day. No plans for the future.

It wasn’t until I hit 25 that I was like, oh hell. It’s here. I am now closer to thirty than 20. I am now going down the slope. I am getting old. It won’t be long and my body will start to hurt. I will stop remembering small things here and there. Were talking about some dramatic world ending thoughts. I look back now and I’m stressed thinking about myself at 25. Like who are you?

I got worried at 25 and then I panicked at 26. Don’t ask me why I did. I don’t have a reason for it. I guess my mindset was once you leave your twenties, you die. I don’t know. I was pretty dramatic. I was also going through the worst depression of my life at this point so that could of played a large factor in this, as well.

You may’ve approached your late twenties with grace or you came sliding in sideways head first and unprepared like me. Either way, we all starting learning this new perspective. You wouldn’t touch an electric fence, would you? I mean I wouldn’t; it hurts. So why would you keep people that hurt you in your life? Why would you stay in situations if they hurt you? You know what you do, right?

You get rid of that crap. All of it! Throw it out with the trash. Move on.

A lot of situations and people that caused me pain or negativity, I just got rid of. I was no longer entertaining negativity. If an individual has nothing to offer me but stress and anxiety. It’s time to go, buddy. Don’t let the door hit you on your way out.

I also developed this mindset and I could be a unicorn for this. When I hit 28, which was last year, I wasn’t scared anymore. I actually motivated myself to start doing activities that I love. I had this urge to be healthy. I wanted to be a better version of myself. So I thought why not give myself the ultimate birthday present? I could be healthy, happy and enjoying the hell out of life. I could do this. My thirties are going to be badass.

My biggest piece of advice that I could give to someone in their early twenties is live a happy life and take care of yourself. I thought I was invincible in my early twenties. I thought I was smarter than all the older people. I thought I knew what I was doing. Truthfully, you really don’t. You are still learning.

Experience life and learn from it.

Evolve into a better human.

I promise getting old is actually way more fun than you think.
