More often than not, this isnt the case.

More of our long lasting friendships are built as we get older.

In your 20s, youre much more mature.

You know who you are as a person.

You have developed into someone completely different than the 15, 18, even 22 year old YOU.

If you havent grown and evolved, there could be a problem.

This is the reason serious, deep, friendships are built in your 20s.

Youve grown up.

Friendships go past going out and drinking every weekend.

You want people in your life you’re free to count on.

People who make you better.

The people in your inner circle are a direct reflection of you.

double-check theyre good ones.

You know what you want out of friendships.

Theres no use settling for one-sided friendships, or friendships that leave you tired all the time.

Nobody has time for that.

Not in this day and age.

Thats why you end up letting some friendships go.

That friend that drains all your energy?

Yeah, shes gotta go.

You want people you’re able to be yourself around.

In our 20s, we really grow into our true selves.

More than ever, most of us feel comfortable in our own skin.

And we should, its taken years!

Thats why its more important than ever to be around people you are comfortable with.

People you dont have to tone yourself down for.

Nothing is better than being comfortable in your own skin, and feeling completely comfortable to be yourself.

Your friends should bring out the absolute best in you.

You dont have time.

We are all busy.

We dont necessarily see our friends every week.

That is why its important that the ones we have, theyre worth it.

You want friends you are excited to see, catch up with.

Friends who are equally excited to see you.

We dont have time for people who dont really mean that much to us.

Our time is precious to us; double-check your friends are too.

20s are a period of growth and change.

I feel that in our 20s, we truly develop into ourselves.

Its no wonder that our past may not make it into our future.

I feel that Ive changed immensely as a person from my early- mid twenties.

Almost to the point where I dont recognize myself sometimes.

As we grow, we adapt.

Our interests, what is important to us, and overall life goals may change.

If we stay stuck in the same place, we wont grow.
