Embracing Imperfection

You Don’t Have to Have It All Together.

Girl, you’re in your 20s. Why do you expect everything to be figured out by tomorrow? Your 20s are when your life begins. It’s a journey that’s uniquely yours. This is the time to figure it out along the way. Mistakes, heartbreak, and growth are moments to learn about yourself, what you like, and what you dislike, and to reflect on who you actually are. The present is your time to embrace everything around you. 

I know social media is the worst at times. Seeing people living this lavish, almost luxurious life, and you look in the mirror, not knowing what to do next, or wondering how other people your age are out living the life you would rather live. It’s okay to stand still in what you already have going on, because you are right where you’re supposed to be! Just trust the timing of your life. Stand still in it. No, you are not doing a horrible job; you’re doing your best, and you’re trying! Because you are moving at a different pace than others, your journey will not look like the person next to you. Slow down. 

You don’t need to figure it out by the time you’re 30. We are all human, and this is our first time learning. We will never have it figured out; life is about constantly growing from our mistakes, because without mistakes, how will we grow? How will we pass the lesson down to others if we don't make a little mistake? You have plenty of time to reach your goals and dreams; it’s not a race or a deadline. It’s an unlimited journey. We may fall and have to start all over again, but it’s never the end. Stop worrying about figuring it out and flow with life. Your future is already set in stone; just focus on where you are right now.
