\"Hey<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Forget all those teenage hormones flying around, hitting your twenties is when things get hella complicated.<\/p>\n

Whether it\u2019s a break-up, finding your dream job or flying the nest for the first time, you might have found yourself desperately searching for the instruction manual \u2013 or at the very least a map \u2013 to show you how the heck you\u2019re meant to navigate this decade.<\/p>\n

But I\u2019m here to tell you \u2013 hey, it\u2019s okay to feel lost in your twenties.<\/p>\n

Spoiler alert: NONE of us have got our sh*t together. NONE of us know what we\u2019re doing or where we\u2019re going and ALL of us ask \u201cWTF?!\u201d on a daily basis.<\/p>\n

When I hit my mid-twenties, I finally understood what Britney meant when she sang \u201cI\u2019m not a girl, not yet a woman.\u201d Sure I own my own house, have a good job and do all my own laundry\u2026but I\u2019m in no way a grown up. I still ring Mum to ask her how to get tea stains off the sofa and I still find myself dreaming of what I want to do when I\u2019m a big girl.<\/p>\n

And guess what? So do all my other twenty-something friends\u2026<\/p>\n

It\u2019s okay to not know what job you want to do forever.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s okay to make mistakes (putting a red top in a white wash\u2026happens to the best of us).<\/p>\n

It\u2019s okay to Google how to boil an egg.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s okay to not really know what you\u2019re doing or where you\u2019re going.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s okay to feel like a teenager one minute and an adult the next.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s okay to feel like you\u2019re still finding your way in life.
<\/h2>\n

\u2018Coz you are. Feeling lost is part and parcel of navigating your twenties. \u2018Coz if you were never lost, how can you find yourself? And how can you come out the other side a bigger, better, stronger woman?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s okay that things don\u2019t go to plan.<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s okay to ask questions.<\/h2>\n

Where do you want to live? Work? Who\u2019s the woman you want to be? Why do you suddenly have to make all these decisions? When did you get put in charge? N.B. it doesn\u2019t help that all your relatives tell you they were married with children at \u201cyour age\u201d. C\u2019mon guys \u2013 those comments only ADD to our confusion. <\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s okay to have a love\/hate relationship with social media.<\/h2>\n

One glance at Twitter or Instagram is enough to leave any lost twenty-something feeling like the only girl her age who doesn\u2019t have her shit together. But, that\u2019s okay. Those girls on Twitter and Instagram? It\u2019s all an act.<\/p>\n

Just like your awkward teenage years passed, so do your years spent feeling lost. You\u2019ll come out with some serious sass and amazing stories from those years and they\u2019ll all be worth it. If you don\u2019t feel lost, you can\u2019t find your way.<\/p>\n

So don\u2019t sweat if you feel a little lost. We all do.<\/p>\n

No road-trip is fun if you follow the map, so rip it up and make up your own path. You\u2019ll enjoy the drive a lot more.<\/p>\n
