In a way, I do believe that the 20s are the most terrifying, unstable, edgy, and full obstacle years. I've been through so much since I turned 20. For the past 3 years, I fell in love with my hubby, got treated like a queen by him, gave birth, graduated college, been lied and hurt dramatically by my hubby, continued to be lied to, became a mom, realized that I treated my mom somewhat bad, realized that I've been a bitch sometimes, found out that my mom's turning me into a very pessimistic person, and just lots of dramatically things. Learning more about myself and realizing how life can be an adventure or it can just end right away. Being in the 20s, it's like a roller coaster ride. You have ur ups and downs in life. You get hurt, get revived and fall in love. In the 20s, I think, it's the real time to learn about yourself and shit happens in the 20s that will change your lifestyle or attitude in the future. I was stupid and naive in high school, but when I turned 20 became a little more alert every year, I started to realize that things aren't as happy-go-lucky as I thought it seem when I was in high school. U can't find a job right away after college and you can't really see what u'll hit on the road to your success or throughout life.
That's what I think. Older is wiser. We get wiser through the experience we take and have throughout life and the 20s is the time to experience and learn what is life after all.
sometimes i wonder if older is when you get more sober or even bitter rather than wiser. just because you have all this reality forced on you at one time and it sort of changes you. i feel i am such a different person compared to who i was freshman year of college. i'm not as happy go lucky as you appropriately said earlier.
your 20s definitely condition the person you will be in later years!
my intent for this lj post was to try to find some light, some laughter in the struggles of our twenties. it is a tough time as you and i know. i'm trying to laugh at some of my experiences. like the time i taught high school for one week. i felt horrible to quit, but i had to because i was inadequately prepared and developing a horrible rash and stomach cramp from the stress. i jumped on as a teacher thinking it would be a "cool summer" job, and i'm not a ed major! whoa! talk about education because those kids were really difficult 14 year olds! but as i look back i realize i had more control over those kids than i thought. on monday i was all: "hi i'm miss t. welcome to my class, we're going to have fun!" and by friday i was: "SIT IN YOUR SEAT. don't mess with me or your ass is in the vp's office." but they listened! i just had to look at them and they would snap to attention! it's funny cause i'm less than 5 feet tall and they could snap me in half if they wanted to, but they jumped when i looked at them!
i fulfilled my 2004 resolution to be more of a bitch! you see! it wasn't a total disappointment!!
