20s quick thought

In your early 20s, the absence of major responsibilities like marriage or mortgages, combined with the camaraderie of like-minded peers, can set life up to be one huge adventure. There's no better time to dive headfirst into the world. As we age and responsibilities began to pile, the fierce urgency and openness to radical ideas of our early 20s slowly diminish, making this period all the more valuable. There’s no better time to screw some things up, get your heart broken, stay up all night, take that road trip, or quit that job than in your early 20s. For the majority of us, real life hasn’t really hit yet; we still live in this bubble of carelessness, eventually settling down in the place between being a fresh adult and entering the real world. These experiences and period of exploration in your early 20s can be invaluable and priceless, I think it’s important to constantly remind yourself it’s not universal. Live a life that fills you up, for some people will live their entire lives empty, never getting the chance to fill themselves.
