23 is a weird age.
@maria_foto
it’s possible for you to drink.
You dont have to pay for your own health insurance yet (some of us have to).
Were no longer feeling like 22.
23 is one of those years where not all of us have a ton of responsibilities yet.
Maybe you just graduated college.
Or just got your first job.
23 is a year of fresh starts.
Take a job youll laugh about one day.At 23 youre still starting off.
Youre allowed to explore different careers.
Work at a bar, take a job youve always wanted.
We are growing as people still, and are allowed to have fun and enjoy life.
Drink what you want.Go out, have that drink.
Enjoy time with your friends.
When you hit your late 20s you may not be able to do this anymore.
This age is much more carefree.
Date the wrong person.Im not saying you should look for the wrong person.
But not everyone is right.
Find out exactly what you want in a person.
And when you are dating that wrong person, let them go.
But at 23, its expected.
you could make mistakes.
It will be okay.
Dont beat yourself up.
Buy that purse.Buy things you want.
But learn the value of money.
Just dont go crazy.
Credit card debt is hard to make up and catch up on if you fall into a whole.
Dont go credit card happy.
Meet new people.Some of them come, some go.
But meeting new people helps us grow.
Whether theyre meant to stay in our lives or not.
Move to that city.Go move to a city you always wanted to.
Youll only ever be this young once.
Discover yourself.Laugh, cry, spend time with yourself.
Travel, spend your money.If theres one thing you should do TRAVEL.
Travel, travel, travel.
You wont regret it.
Be selfish.Its okay to be selfish.
You have the rest of your life to be selfless.
I think our early 20s are meant to be somewhat selfish.
Have your fun.I mean it.
The 20s are such an interesting crossroads of life.
Friends, food, family.
Realize that these moments are fleeting.
Enjoy them all
14.
Eat that unhealthy food.But dont forget to take care of yourself.
The older we get the harder it is to burn those calories off.
Might as well use it to your advantage, right?
Send that text.Because why not?
Ignore the rules.Some rules are meant to be broken.
Figure it out.Mistakes will be made.
But youll get where you gotta be.
You will figure it all out.
Quit that job.If a job makes you miserable, quit.
No job is worth tears or hating your life.
Ditch that friend.That friend who makes you feel like shit all the time?
Theres no use to holding on to someone like that.
Forgive.take a stab at realize that life is short.
We can forgive people who wronged us.
Most of the time we feel better after too.
23 is a bit of a reckless age.
Were adults, but barely.
I honestly think it can be one of the best years though, because of this.
Its a period of extreme growth.
A period of self discovery, pain, joy, and enjoying oneself.
At 23, I hope you allow yourself to be happy.
I hope you grow.
I hope you let others into your life.
I hope you are open to experiences, and change.
I hope you realize that life gets better from 23.
Its just the beginning.
