Here’s the truth: your 20s aren’t about having it all figured out. They’re about becoming. And in that becoming, you’ll grow. You’ll learn. Sometimes the hard way, but always in ways that shape who you’re meant to be. 1. The Myth of Certainty For many, turning 20 comes with the quiet pressure to "get it together." Finish college. Pick a career. Fall in love. Move out. Save money. Be successful. But life in your 20s rarely follows a straight path. Plans shift, passions evolve, and people come and go. The myth that everyone else knows what they’re doing is just that — a myth. Everyone is winging it in some way. Learning to be okay with uncertainty is one of...
