I’m meeting up with the housemates I had when I was 20 and we’ve not hung out together since we graduated and I’m nervous! Really happy to see them of course but I absolutely reel about some of my behaviour when I was in my 20’s. I was a little shit
I honestly don’t think my brain finished cooking until I was at least 30. My 20’s was me being broke as fuck, riddled with mental illness and undiagnosed neurodivergence and I spent the majority of it feeling broken and sad. You couldn’t pay me to go back to being 20 again
Jan 17, 2026 12:33I feel the exact same way about my 20's -- my brain didn't stop cooking until 30 either, but that meant my 30's were pretty excellent though! I'm 40 now 👵🏻 but I honestly know myself better than ever and am happier in my personal life than I've ever been 💛
