Earlier today, I asked one of my co-workers, “Does life get better in your late twenties compared to your early twenties?” She confidently told me, “Life gets better as you age; because you know who are & don’t feel pressured by anyone else’s opinion.”
As I make the gradual transition from my early twenties & begin a new chapter of my life, I’ll have to remind myself to stop measuring my personal achievements with the mental timeline I’ve created & remember anything worthwhile takes time.
