There's not enough time in my 20s to do everything I want to do.
Seriously, the decade between when you turn 20 and when you turn 30 needs to be at least 20 years.
You're young enough to have open horizons, endless possibilities and dreams and goals and hopes. You're beautiful and your body is young and fit and strong and healthy. You're old enough to do cool stuff like drive and travel alone and get into bars, and old enough to be role-models and teach others and take charge of some responsibilities, but you don't need to be a wife or parent or a boss.
You're old enough to fall in love and experience heartbreak but young enough to quietly believe it will happen again one day. You can study something, change your mind, study something new, work for a bit, head off overseas, see what you like. Free.
It's the perfect point of life.
I've been goal setting, and the amount of things I want to do before I turn 30 just don't fit on the page. There's not enough years. I've studied, worked, then travelled. Now I'm working again. I want to study again for two years, then work in a proper job for two years, then I want to head off and travel again. After that I'll work some more, and then suddenly I will be 30 and married with kids and a house if things go to plan (somewhere along the way I will find a nice husband.)
Luckily I've met some cool girls who are 30 but don't seem old- they're fun and still changing their minds and travelling and falling in love and starting new jobs. I know life doesn't end at 30 and they've inspired me not to get old too quick.
Here's to living every moment, fitting it all in, growing up, and feeling like you're mid-twenties forever :)
