Also, my cousin said few days back and I quote "Our 20s - I feel, are a very delicate period for us, almost as delicate as our formative years. But in your 20s you don’t have your parents calling the shots for you. You become responsible for yourself, so it’s an entire learning curve. So, you should be very intentional about all your decisions and try to learn from them."
Also he said, you’re really just starting out, so be patient with yourself. Don’t be too harsh on yourself as well, instead trust in your ability to get better with time. Try to avoid a lot of unnecessary responsibilities so you can afford to make mistakes and really just enjoy yourself.
This is so good. Yes, this is a learning curve; for a lot of people, where we're truly learning to be our own people outside of our immediate influences. Thank you for sharing!
This was a really interesting article tbh 😂. But seriously the boys are also panicking, growing up makes us realise the responsibility that lies ahead are even bigger than the ones now. My additional take on this is to just let the pressure go, don’t pressure yourself. Because if you’re pressured you might be focused on the wrong things in life. This is coming from a 26 year old adult who identifies as a 19 year old 😅
I’m glad you could relate to this. Frankly, almost every “young adult” these days can 🥲 I don’t know what we did to deserve this, but you’re right, we have to accept it but not pressure ourselves. All we can do is our best. P.S: At least you know you’re 26; I’m constantly befuddled. Isn’t this 2023? Wasn’t 2020 just two years ago?💀😭
This is great!
I also think one of it is societal pressure.

And many more things he said.
Great piece Shuga❤️

Thank you for sharing these thoughts. Getting older is a process, but usually we can navigate this process and come out okay.
