The main thing is you realise that nobody should have their life sorted by 25.
Because the switch up between. 25 - 30 is BIG.
YOU wake up realising everything you thought you knew was wrong.
You were wrong and loud about it too.

Let's not even go to what happens in your 30s.
You also understand why the adolescent brain ONLY matures by 25.
It's just not possible to understand yourself, the world and how you fit into your own life in your 20s. Because you haven't seen enough to know it like that.

You literally wake up from the slumber that is unrealistic expectations, socialisation, post 25 and start unlocking your true self.
Your 30s will show you flames bc you realise a lot of what you thought would make you happy still hasn't made you happy.
That is a mindfuck

then you start scratching the surface and doing the real work.
And sadly it never ends. But at least we start learning who we are, which allows us to make better decisions tailored to who we are vs what we've been told we should want + need.

Your 30s is actually what we've been taught to think our 20s will be. Personally it's the real taste of adulthood bc for some reason something shifts in your reasoning and you stop looking outward for gratification + happiness and redirect that energy within.
The ages of 27 - 29 are intense bc this is usually when we realise we can't find equilibrium even if we have all we said we wanted on paper. AKA your first Saturn Return.
You feel unbalanced, your mind is constantly clusterfucked, you're never satisfied, despite getting what you thought would make you happy, bc inside we haven't done the work.
In fact this is usually when most of us start our journey of self discovery, self understanding and self forgiveness. Just realise a) we reach awareness at different rates. b) our paths are different. c) what brings "A" happiness won't necessarily bring "B" happiness.
d) every life experience has the potential to teach you about you. e) patience is key f) healing + understanding of self doesn't happen overnight or in a straight line.
And something I constantly have to remind myself, is that I have to be kind to myself.
I wasn't kind to myself in my 20s at all. Now I'm learning and to a degree it's making this journey of self a lot more bearable.

I'm learning to be vulnerable, with myself. This has allowed me to forgive myself for my past and allowed me to look towards my future with hope that not only will things get better but I will get better at navigating my reality.
