20's...

What do your 20's mean to you??

Almost everyone who reads my blog fits this age group. And yet, we are all so different. Some have marriage, some babies, some have both. And some like me, have none of the above yet are still content.

I want my 20's to be about me. All about me. I want to have late nights where I end up somewhere random (not to be confused by 'with someone random') I want to be able to spend money occassionally on materialistic things and not feel bad, I want to enjoy my body and eating whatever I want without putting on weight (at this stage anyway!) I want to have many jobs until I find out what I am good at, I want a childfree decade where I can be a little irrisponsible and have someone take care of me occassionally, I want to date and meet my soulmate, I want to travel and help the poor and more importantly I want to embrace the fact that I am lucky enough to have these oppourtunities unlike my grandmothers generation whereas marriage and children were expected at at young age.

I dont want to live my life in my husband/boyfriend/partners shadow, I want to create my own path. I want to be happy either single or with someone. Ultimately I want to be happy within.

Where have YOUR 20's taken you???

I got married and couldn't feel more free. We started our IVF journey and I couldn't feel more trapped. I'm fully embracing my photography which is starting to become my life line. I'm only 23 and I'm finally on a path to the real me and not what I'm supposed to be. I'm happy & lucky.

Hi Jacq,

I'm a phantom reader, bit too lazy to blog or comment but I enjoy the escapism of reading blogs. I'm 26, I'm married and very happy with that, but i've had lots of health issues over the last 10 years which keep changing the goalposts in terms of what I can do. So, while happy, I still dont know what I want to be/do "when I grow up". And I suppose because I'm in my 20s, I don't really worry about it, just chuff along until it comes out in the wash.

Love you, love your blog, Enjoy! xx

Hi Kelly and thanks for reading my blogs. I hope that during the tough times you can forget about your health and get engrosed (sp?) in other peoples curious lives. If you do ever decide to blog then please drop me a link.
