your 20s can feel like a constant guessing game — and i've way more than mistakes than i'm willing to admit. well, no. i'm admitting them in this video 🫢. now that i'm 24, i wanted to share 24 thing lesson i wish i knew sooner (like, when i was 18). the advice, habits, and mindset shifts that have completely changed the way I look at life. no gatekeeping — just pure honesty.
when i first entered my 20s, i felt so much pressure to “have it all figured out” — from relationships and friendships to my career, confidence, and even how i looked. with social media and being chronically online, i found myself constantly comparing my face, my job, my relationships to other people. i struggled so much with self-doubt and letting other people control my life. i wasted so much time and energy on things that didn’t actually matter.
so to save you the heartache and hassle, these are the HARSH TRUTHS i had to learn the hard way. i hope this helps you feel less alone and more inspired to create your own path in your 20s — because you are in the driver's seat. 💫
💡 if you’ve ever felt:
→ behind compared to everyone else your age
→ burnt out from chasing unrealistic goals
→ stuck in toxic friendships/relationships that don't serve you
→ unsure how to balance self-care, money, and career
... this video is for you. ❤️
💭 in this video, i’ll share:
» the biggest mistakes i made in my early 20s
» tips that ACTUALLY helped me build real confidence & independence

2. Noone is coming to save you. You are the solution to your own problems.
3. Don't rely on a man, build up your own wealth.
4. Take your supplements. Start with-- vitamin D, Zinc, Magnesium, B complex.
5. Nothing is ever what it seems on outside. Just know that social media is not 100% accurate.
6. Consistency trumps speed.
7. Insecurity has nothing to do with other people and everything to do with you. You have to accept that you're the reason you feel this way.
8. Bloating and gut issues are not normal.
9. Struggle is guaranteed.
10. Be vocal. Nothing good can happen to you if your mouth is closed. You need to tell people what you need.
11. People will doubt you but it doesn't mean you should to listen them. Other people's fears have zero to do with you.
12. Clean up your sleep hygiene.
13. You are not your inconvenience.
14. Invest in higher quality basics.
15. You don't need so much stuff.
16. You and your relationship will go through seasons.
17. You don't need all that skincare! Stop using 20 products in one routine.
18. The quality time you spend with someone matters more than the quantity.
19. The challenges you are facing now are shaping for your future.
20. Be more mindful of what you are putting in or on you body
21. Alcohol is not a requirement to be a fun person.
22. Listen to the people who has the results you want.
23. A life lived in fear is wasteful. 99% of the fear you have, will never come true. Do not waste your time thinking what could happen. Instead, live your life doing what you want to happen.
24. Big risks yield bigger rewards.
