A little friendly Linsey advice on surviving your 20s: (not that Im turning 30 soon or anything. Still 21 folks. Just a wiser and richer 21.😘) 1) Youre going to feel unappreciated, defeated, and disappointed at times. It passes. There is always peace in the end. If there isnt peace, its not the end. 2)Youre going to find out a horrifying and sometimes invigorating fact, that nothing in life is permanent. Embrace change. 3)Youll soon realize that what you wanted to be yesterday isnt exactly what you want to be today. Maybe even tomorrow. So what. 4) Its not always going to be easy to be a good person. Youre going to misjudge people. Dont beat yourself up over trying to see the good in someone. 5) Your core values will not always align with those of the people around you. Youre going to have to fight for what you believe is right and sometimes, no one will seemingly agree with you. Thats ok. Stand by them anyway. 6)Your body is going to change just like everything else in life does. Roll with it but take care of your body. Its youre vessel. 7)Youre going to fall flat on your face more often than not. Learn to put your big girl panties on, knock the dust off and carry on. 8)Youre going to say and do things you wish you hadnt. Say sorry and when you say it, mean it. 9)Not everyone is going to like you and if you think that its possible to be universally liked, you will kill yourself trying. Just be you. The ones that love you will stay close. 10)Youre gonna be broke often. Dont worry too much about it. Youll find a way. Think of money as a result, not a goal. It will come. 11)Dont have too high of expectations for others. You can only really ever count on yourself. Yourself And Family. Appreciate those select few. Dont expect too much from the rest. 12) Distance yourself from drama and gossip. Avoid toxic people. 13) Slow Down. Spend time with ones who bring you peace and balance. Put your phone away. 14) Floss. Your teeth come with short term warranties. 15) Its perfectly fine to not know what youre doing all the time. No one actually knows what the heck theyre doing. 16) See your parents as just two flawed, vulnerable, struggling people, doing their best despite often not knowing what the heck theyre doing either. Theyre human too. Forgive them. Love them. Spend time with them. 17) You either wait or create. Choose to grow or shrivel. Its your choice. No once elses can make it for you. Sometimes you win. Sometimes you loose. But you cant grow unless you try. 18) Try to pay less mind to things, status, and opinion. Youll find a deeper happiness when you reorganize whats important from that which is not. Youre old enough to make the right decisions and just young enough to make the all the wrong ones.Travel, explore, fall ridiculously in and out of love, be untamed and wildly unsatisfied, take risks, dream irrationally big, give more than you take, do whatevers good for your soul. Cause after all, youre 20something. Be 20something. Love, Linsey Toole
