I’m in my 40’s. Here’s 3 thing that I wish I knew in my 20’s.

After reading several posts on Reddit from people who are in their late teens to early twenties and think they’ve wasted their life, here’s a few things (of 11) I wish I had known sooner.

#1 – It’s not “just in your head.” (How I loathe that sentiment.) If someone made you the butt of a joke, it’s alright to be unhappy about it. Your issues aren’t someone’s punchline.

#2 – You’re not lost. You’re figuring out who you are. You might not had the chance to learn who you are as a child. IYKYK

#3 – What you’re going through is meant to teach you something. When life is really kicking your booty, ask yourself, “What’s this here to teach me?”

Anyone interested in the rest of the list? Let me know in the comment section below.
