At 30, we often find ourselves looking back at our 20s with a mixture of nostalgia and wisdom. If we could send a message back to our 20-year-old selves, there would be so much we would want to say. We would want to tell our younger selves to worry less about the future and trust that things will fall into place. Life isn't a straight path; it's full of twists, turns, and surprises, and that's okay. What seems like a big problem today might be a stepping stone tomorrow.
We might tell our 20-year-old selves to embrace failures as learning opportunities. The job you didn’t get, the relationship that didn’t last, or the plans that fell apart—these aren't the end of the world. In fact, they are the beginning of understanding what truly matters. At 30, we know that failures often lead to new paths and sometimes to the best things in life. For example, many of us have discovered new passions and careers after a door closed unexpectedly.
We would also remind our younger selves to take care of their mental and physical health. In our 20s, we might have pushed ourselves too hard, thinking we were invincible. Now, we understand the importance of balance, rest, and self-care. It’s okay to slow down and take a break without feeling guilty.
Lastly, we’d encourage our 20-year-old selves to trust their journey and be kind to themselves. Comparison steals joy, and we don't have to have it all figured out. Life is not a race but a journey, and every experience—good or bad—adds to our growth. So, dear 20-year-old self, enjoy the ride and remember that every phase has its own beauty.
