10 Tips I Wish I Could Share with My 20-Year-Old Self

Ah, the 20s. A decade filled with exploration, confusion, and a ton of growing pains. If only I could hop into a time machine and share some wisdom with my younger self, I’d tell her a few things:

  1. Cut Ties With Toxic People: Life’s too short to hang around those who drain your energy. If a relationship doesn’t feel good, it’s totally okay to step back or even run away. Priorities change, and so should your circle.
  2. Embrace Your Unique Beauty: Seriously, the beauty standards out there are unrealistic. Don’t get caught up in the weight, makeup, and trends. Confidence and kindness are the real deal. So love those curves and let your true self shine.
  3. Stop Worrying About Others’ Opinions: You can’t please everyone, and honestly, some folks won’t like you no matter what. Focus on the ones who appreciate you as you are. Those friendships will last.
  4. You Control Your Happiness: If drama’s creeping into your life, take a good look at it. Cut the unnecessary stuff out of your life. If you’re still feeling down, adjust your mindset and practice gratitude. Remember, you can’t make others happy, but you can choose your own joy.
  5. Travel While You Can: Get out of your comfort zone and explore! Experience new cultures and adventures while you’re young and footloose. Trust me, it’s way easier (and more fun) before you have kids.
  6. Be Open to Learning: You don’t know everything, and that’s totally fine. Surround yourself with people who are smarter and more experienced than you. If you’re the smartest in the room, it’s time to find a new room. And please, stop calling yourself “old.” It’s not a good look.
  7. The Power of Forgiveness: Letting go of grudges is key. Admitting when you’re wrong takes courage, not weakness. Forgive yourself and others—it’s a big step towards inner peace.
  8. Watch Your Words About Loved Ones: Even if you think you’re just joking, saying mean things can hurt the ones you love. Opt for kindness and lift others up instead. You might be surprised at how much better that feels.
  9. Don’t Rush Into Marriage: Just because you’ve been together for a while doesn’t mean you have to tie the knot. Marriage should be about finding your true partner, not just ticking boxes before you hit 30.
  10. Put Yourself First: It’s okay to say no when you need to. Take care of your body—hydrate, rest, and find time to unwind. Whether it’s a meditation session or just a quiet moment, prioritize your well-being.

It’s amusing how I once feared my 30s, yet here I am, happier than ever. So, younger me, don’t stress too much—just be kind to yourself and maybe ease up on the partying a bit.
