Maybe IDK
I'm 25. Some days (and they seem to be coming more frequent) I look around and wonder what the hell I'm doing with my life. Life looks much different than the "when I turn 25" dreams my younger and more naive self had. Different how? In every way, except for the fact that I finally turned 25. Sure, that doesn't sound so bad. Life happens, right? Yup. But that's not the part that often sends me into a legit depression. It's this: I don't know what to do now that I am 25 and life doesn't look like what my younger and more naive self dreamt.

Getting Past the Stress
Stress? Screw. That. Shit. I'm serious, we don't have the time for that, I don't and I'm gonna wing it there and say that you don't exactly enjoy worrying non-stop. Its the extra baggage weighing down on your life. Trust me, it is so flipping unnecessary.

The Art Critic
I don’t find anything more beautiful than the mind of an artist. We are creators, dreamers, thinkers and more. What I’ve always heard about artists though, is how we are more sensitive to our emotions, whether we are more open to feel them or they are felt more intensely. This has been known for a long time, we know this from Van Gogh, Michelangelo, and so on.

Falling in Love with Yourself
I am a 32-year-old woman. My body feels older than that though. I know how that sounds to people who are older. However, unless you have several different medical issues going against you, you wouldn't know how it feels to be 32 years young and not feel energetic and full of life. You may try several different things to bring back your youth but in reality, there isn't anything that can turn back time. There isn't a magic potion or pill. In life, all we really have is a mirror and photos of the past. Yet, if we dwell on all the negative things that we have had happened in our lives, we become a shell of the person we use to be. That isn't good for anyone.

One Day Closer to You
So I was picking up my favourite Vietnamese takeout one typical Friday night, and the owner - who I know reasonably well since he is the one feeding my addiction- asked me why I was “so dolled up” and if I was getting up to some Friday night excitement. I laughed and told him I was going to eat my takeout order for one alone on my couch, but thanked him for the compliment… I feel like many single women destined to spend a Friday night alone would have been crushed by this comment. I’m grateful for the strength and humour I’ve gained over the years to help me laugh these things off instead of fleeing into the arms of an instantly gratifying dating app.

To My 30-Year-Old Self
As we age, we expect that our wisdom will come from the lessons that lie ahead. Society has conditioned us to believe that the older we are, the wiser we are. We don't ever imagine that our younger selves could teach us lessons even 10 years later. Here, in my mid-20s, is where I think my most valuable lessons will come. So why not share what I have learned so far with my 30-year-old self?

Keep Your Expectations Low
I always thought that life was this wonderful thing where you get to reach your limitations but there were also no limitations, that you can achieve anything in this world because it gives you what you want and the world is a fair and honest place. Damn, was I wrong.
