10 Mistakes I Made In My Early 20s (and How To Avoid Them) by ibuks12(m): 6:14pm On Oct 24, 2023 |
My early 20s were a hot mess. I made enough mistakes that can fill an encyclopedia page. Sincerely, I wish God would give humans the ability to go back to the past and right our wrongs. Well, now that I can't change the past, I can only share my experience and ensure upcoming generations don't make similar mistakes. What am I talking about? Well, here are the mistakes I made in my early 20s. 1. Not Building Strong Relationships (Isolating Myself) This is one of my greatest mistakes that somewhat affected my growth as a person. Oh! if you knew me back then, you would understand what I mean better. Have you ever met someone who wouldn't mind spending 48 hours indoors without any issues? I am that person. Being a freelance writer didn't help my case either. I would remain inside my room all day, scrolling from one website to another searching for resources for my articles. In my quest to build my career, I often turned down invitations from friends and found excuses not to socialize. I told myself there would be time for that later. Consequently, I felt very alone and missed out on building valuable relationships. Prevention Don't overlook your social life while pursuing a better future. I understand the need for discipline and focus in your quest for success, but ensure you regularly connect with family and friends. Strike a balance between work and social life, build strong relationships with people, and you will live happily. |
