20s are not for the week

Twenties, the years to dream big, to have aspirations, to travel, to commit to life and for some who actually believe it, to live unapologetically, freely. It’s becoming almost redundant how often we hear these days, statements like “just be yourself”, “don’t let anybody stop you”, “you can do anything you want”, “these are your best years” and yet most of the time I find so hard to even engage with life. Every-day is a race against time, to do more, to be more alive, as we live in an increasingly fragmented society where the aspiration to achieve perfection has led to identity crises. Who am I? what is my purpose? What am I supposed to do with life? We expect our education system, social media, strangers to answer these questions for us, and we turn against them when they fail to answer.
