dear 20s

 Even though I crossed the threshold into my 30s well over a year ago, sometimes I still feel like I’m 20 years old. I feel young, and I feel like people are constantly looking at me, thinking “she’s too young” to be doing this or that. It’s not because I think I look like I’m 20 years old, it’s just that sometimes I have the….let’s see, what’s the word for it? Fear. Yep, sometimes I have the fear that I’m still 20 years old.
So why would I never want to be 20 years old again? Because I was also oh-so-stupid back then. And I’m not the only one. All of us were. Every single 20-year-old out there is nothing compared to the person they will be ten years from now. Justin Bieber? Ten years from now, he’ll look back on his peeing-in-mop-buckets and egging-the-neighbors-house antics and realize just how stupid he really was.
I’m 31 years old now, and I’m smart enough to know that although I’m smarter in my older age, I’m nowhere near where I’ll be ten years from now…and ten years from then…and so on.
So to anyone in your 20s, just know that life will be radically different 10 years from now, in ways you would never expect. You’ll grow so much as a person and the things that interest you now will most likely be just a mere blip on your radar (with some exceptions, of course).
