the choice of marriage
in our twenties we are still young. people who choose to wait until after their twenties to get married do so because we now have the option to wait. many have chosen to save marriage for later. to focus on careers. to travel. to have the freedom to do as we please when we please. i respect this choice.in our twenties we are still young. people who choose to get married do so because they want to, not because they are forced to. i respect this choice as well.
in our twenties we are still young. some are just trying to figure out if marriage is even a choice they want to make. i also respect the choice in weighing out our options to carefully consider what's truly right for our own life path.

twenties
i am...
in my twenties.
what i am not is stuck, even though i think i am.
my twenties has allowed me to carve out the life ive wanted to live.
it was daunting at first when i took that first step at age 18.
it was scary & liberating & rewarding all at the same time.
its still scary but freeing.
i am my own boss.
i remember...
the nights where i crawled up into a ball in bed crying from my first real heart break.
ramen days in exchange for shopping trips.
clubbing nights with girls, car barring, pre-drinking, & getting home at 5(am) only to be awake 3 hours later for work.
the nursing pre-requisite classes & the horrid commutes.
the nursing program & the sleepless nights & the horrid commutes.
more drinking, partying, quality time with loved ones.
release.
sowing real connections & letting go of what wasnt detrimental to my growth.
constantly learning how to deal with situations & people outside of my comfort zone.
what im not willing to tolerate & what deserves my patience.
what makes me feel good.
what hurts me.
it all equals to the constant addition of wisdom acquired through life lessons.
even though at times i want to be somewhere other than my twenties, i know one day i will miss all of this. ill be nostalgic for the days where sometimes none of it made sense. ill think back on those car drives & late sleepless nights wondering, worrying, & feeling the thrills of being in my twenties all at once.
