11 No-Nonsense Promises Every Girl In Her 20s Should Make To Herself

4. ‘My life is not a set of ‘set it right’ projects’

Your life is not a reality show. Chill and calm the fu** down. Things might turn upside down, relationships might fail and it is completely okay. Stop hyperventilating.

5. ‘I will embrace my inner child without feeling embarrassed about it!’

Craving an ice-cream at 1 AM is not a childish wish. Crying for something or someone isn’t immature. Cut some slack and give yourself these small privileges. No matter how ‘kiddish’ the world calls you, start doing everything that makes you happy without fearing what the world will think’.

6. ‘Travelling solo doesn’t define me, travelling does.’

Making and getting a plan to materialise with a bunch of friends is probably the most difficult thing in the world. If you always wanted to try cliff jumping or river-rafting, go solo. Ten years down the line you’ll realise that your solo trip was perhaps one of the best teachers of your life. Travel, go wild, go camping, do everything that crazy heart wants you to.
