Your 20s is a weird time. No one knows what they are doing. There are so many different options you can take but it can be so overwhelming. Its a bit of a nuisance when you speak to people older than you and they repeatedly say “your 20s are the best years of your life”. It puts a constant pressure on us that if we are not living our 20s to the fullest, then we are wasting this decade.
