Wasted My 20s
Hi everyone!
I’m a 28F who I guess had just had an epiphany within the last month that I basically wasted my twenties.
I had never went to college due to no true support from the area of my hometown and family I had grown up around, so I missed out on that entirely and I was so focused on establishing myself in a career to the point I never made those “long life friends.”
I was a hair stylist for a few years until I realized I never made the money I thought I was going to, had a career change two years ago and still don’t make the money I hoped I would at my age.
I guess I really should’ve just focused more on making mistakes, meeting more people, making more connections and just doing what twenty year olds did instead of trying to become something that lead me nowhere.
TLDR : Twenties suck and I hope thirties are better.
