Hello you guys, Welcome back to another episode of the Hawtgral Energy Podcast.
0:17
I'm your host, Kaylie, and this is your weekly reminder that it's a
0:20
new day, a new week, a new mindset, and another day for
0:23
you to become the hot Gral energy you want to attract. Hi, guys,
0:27
Happy Tuesday. Oh my god, I'm out of breath just from saying
0:30
my intro right now, Yeah, guys, Happy Tuesday, Welcome to a
0:35
new week. I literally can't believe it's Halloween this weekend essentially, like everyone's
0:41
doing their own little Halloween thing and it just blows my mind how fastball is
0:46
going by. And literally Christmas is going to be the start of next week.
0:51
I'm not even kidding, Like everyone's going to be posting Christmas content.
0:53
I can just feel it as of November first, like it's just gonna be
0:57
Christmas stuff. There's already Christmas stuff everywhere. But it just blows my mind.
1:00
How Yeah, we're coming to an end of October already. And little
1:04
life update because I feel like in the last episode we talked a lot about
1:07
mental health, which I think is always a huge priority to talk about and
1:11
just check in on yourself and all that, and this week, I really
1:15
wanted to talk about the reality of being in your twenties because I think there's
1:19
a lot of things that people think going into their twenties that doesn't actually come
1:26
true or it's not the case at all. So I really want to be
1:29
real about just some unrealistic things that you thought were going to happen in your
1:34
twenties but actually didn't. And yeah, just being real about my own circumstances
1:41
or just things that I see happen with my friends, or just the reality
1:44
in general that people face being in your twenties. So I thought it'd be
1:48
a fun little episode to talk about that. But before we get into this
1:52
episode, I did want to do a little recap just on things that are
1:55
going on with me, because I know you guys like to get little updates
1:57
of just things that are going on in my life. So I'll keep it
2:00
short and simple, but wedding stuff. Wedding stuff is probably the only thing
2:06
that's been going on in my life right now. I feel like I haven't
2:08
really been active on social media as I would like. I feel like I've
2:14
been really good on TikTok, but like Instagram, I really haven't been posting
2:17
much like stories and posts and all that. And I just feel like I've
2:21
been so focused on just like finalizing things for our wedding, Like that's the
2:24
biggest priority to me right, Like it's just making sure you know, the
2:28
venue is locked in, the dates locked in all that. So there definitely
2:31
is some huge updates that I'm so like, oh, I'm so happy about.
2:38
Like just like a huge stress has been like lifted off my shoulders just
2:42
from like making progress in the wedding. It's just a huge, huge,
2:46
Yeah, weight lifted off my shoulders. That's what I meant to say,
2:49
weight lifted off my shoulders, not the stress lifted off my shoulders, but
2:52
same term. But yeah, no, definitely a huge weight lifted off my
2:55
shoulders. Just finalizing some details. It's making me feel so much better going
3:00
into this week, and I'm feeling so much more motivated to get work done.
3:04
I just feel like last week I was really struggling mentally with just some
3:07
wedding stuff going on and all that. But this week I'm feeling so much
3:12
better about a lot of things. I also am planning a New York City
3:15
trip with my sister and mom to go find my wedding dress, which I'm
3:21
so excited about. I'm gonna be planning a dress appointment here in Ottawa first,
3:23
just to do with like my bridesmaids, my fiance's mom, my mom
3:30
my sister, maybe my grandmom, not sure yet, just to really figure
3:32
out, like what style I like. Obviously I have like a certain image
3:37
in mind of what dress I want. But you know when you have this
3:39
mentality where you think you're gonna wear this dress, but then you try on
3:43
different dresses and you end up going with something completely different, Like I don't
3:46
know, it could be that type of circumstance, or it could be exactly
3:50
what I pictured. So I thought it might be a good way to start
3:53
figuring out, like what type of dress styles I like before going to New
3:57
York. That way, I know what I I'm looking for, you know
4:00
what I mean, Like what style I like, because this is obviously so
4:02
many different dress styles that you can select, So I want to be like
4:08
a bit more prepared. That way, when we go to New York,
4:11
we know we're looking for all that. So hopefully that will be in the
4:14
next like week or two, because we literally leave for New York in like
4:16
two weeks, so we're planning a rushed trip. I feel like that's always
4:19
a case. It's always like rush trips for us. But that's okay.
4:23
It's kind of fun and spontaneous, which I like. So yeah, and
4:26
then this weekend, as I said, it's Halloween weekend, I'm going to
4:30
my best friend's birthday party. She throws a Halloween party every year just because
4:34
her birthday's on October thirtieth, so she always does the weekend before Halloween,
4:40
or if Halloween's on a weekend, she'll throw it that day. And it's
4:42
always a costume party, and she's going really full out this year. She's
4:46
getting a bartender. She's actually borrowing my bar from my engagement party, which
4:49
is kind of funny, so that will be nice to get some use at
4:53
her birthday party. And yeah, just like doing a bunch of like specialty
4:56
cocktails. She's doing a casino theme in the basement where they'll be gambling and
5:02
all that. So just kind of a really fun Halloween party that I'm really
5:06
looking forward to. So Zach and I have our costume. It's so good.
5:11
I really really love what we're doing. I think it's gonna be a
5:14
really popular Halloween costume unfortunately, but we thought of it immediately whenever we wanted
5:19
to do it. So yeah, so I'll make sure to post a TikTok
5:23
of our costumes this weekend. But yeah, I love Halloween so much.
5:26
It's one of my favorite holidays or whatever you want to call Halloween. But
5:30
I love Halloween so much, like just being spooked and all that. So
5:34
we're trying to go to this thing in Ottawa called Saunders Farm. It's essentially
5:40
like a haunted house with like corn mazes and essentially you just go to get
5:44
scared. I have a love hate relationship with getting scared, but I do
5:47
find it fun, especially during the Halloween times. So yeah, we're gonna
5:51
have some fun with that. So that's like my weekend plans things going on
5:55
right now currently, But let's get into today's episode. I'm really excited to
5:59
talk about the reality of just being in your twenties and just some things that
6:02
you thought would happen in your twenties. Okay, the first thing when it
6:06
comes to something that you thought what's going to happen in your twenties is feeling
6:11
like an adult. I am twenty seven years old, and I still don't
6:15
feel like a complete adult. I still call my parents for help with things.
6:19
I still, you know, wish I kind of lived with my parents
6:23
at times, just because you think of all like adult responsibilities that you have
6:27
to do, like cleaning your house, booking a doctor's appointment, all that,
6:30
and just like you just wish you could be a kid sometimes and just
6:34
go back to not having so much responsibility. But at twenty seven, I
6:40
still feel like I'm not a full adult. I still feel like I'm this
6:45
kid that just doesn't have all the responsibility that I thought I would have at
6:49
this point in my life. Like I thought I would be so much more
6:51
prepared and so much more put together in a sense. In terms of being
6:56
in your twenties, I think there's this stigma where when you're in high sto
7:00
you think, as soon as you reach your twenties, you're gonna have your
7:01
shit together, you're gonna be a full adult, You're gonna have responsibility with
7:05
everything and all that. But I really feel like being in your twenties is
7:09
really just a whole learning experience where there's just gonna be so many different experiences,
7:15
if that makes sense right now, I see on TikTok. People talk
7:18
about this all the time, where you think you're supposed to do everything at
7:23
some point in your life. Like you feel like, Okay, you're supposed
7:26
to have kids, you're supposed to get married, you're supposed to be engaged
7:30
all before thirty, Like you're supposed to get all these things done. Another
7:32
thing is you're supposed to figure out your career. You're supposed to figure out
7:35
Okay, I need to be done school before I'm thirty and actually have my
7:40
career in place. Like there's all these things that you feel like you need
7:44
to get done in your twenties. I need to be in a serious relationship.
7:47
I can't be single. Like there's so many things that people talk about
7:51
that they feel like they have to get done in their twenties, and the
7:55
reality is there is no timeline in life. No one can compare them to
8:00
other people. There is so many people that are going through so many different
8:03
stages in their life right now. Looking at my friend group specifically, we're
8:07
all around the same age, whether we're twenty seven, twenty nine, or
8:11
twenty four, Like there're some younger, there's some older. There are so
8:15
many people in my friend group that are at completely different stages in their life.
8:18
Some who are older than me that aren't in a relationship at all and
8:22
aren't looking for a relationship currently and that's totally fine. Or there's complete opposite
8:28
where I have friends that literally just finish getting married and now are pregnant and
8:31
starting a family, And then there's people like who are twenty four who just
8:35
started their teaching career. Like there's so many different stages, and I truly
8:41
believe that everyone needs to realize that that's okay to be at a different stage
8:45
in your life. My sister, she's still single. Me I've been in
8:48
a serious relationship for ten years and I'm getting married. Like everybody is on
8:52
their own path. And I think, no matter what, there should be
8:56
no rush to start your life. People can start their life in their thirties,
8:58
they can start their life in her forties. There's no timeline. I
9:03
think it's really important to address that because I feel like people have this stigma
9:07
of you know, feeling like an adult and being an adult, like you
9:09
need to get all this shit done. Then the reality is no, you
9:13
don't need to get all that shit done in your twenties. You are going
9:16
on your own path. I truly believe in the what's meant to be is
9:20
what's meant to be, So don't ever feel behind in your life. Just
9:24
know that what's happening in your life is what's supposed to happen. There is
9:26
a path that is being guided for you. That's kind of like the way
9:31
I see my life personally. You also have to have that mindset as well.
9:33
I feel like, but don't ever feel like you're not in the right
9:37
timeline and that everything feels so far back and all that, and that you
9:43
know you need to rush in order to get married, have kids, all
9:46
that like, Please do not feel like that, and know that you're not
9:48
the only one that feels like that. Everyone is going through the same thing.
9:52
So more of the story is just don't feel like you're being left behind
9:56
on life. Just know that you're on your own timeline and everyone is on
10:00
their own path, and that you shouldn't compare yourself to other people, and
10:03
know that what's meant to be will be. The Next thing when it comes
10:07
to unrealistic things of being in your twenties is knowing what career you want in
10:11
life. So kind of touched on this, but some of my friends who
10:15
are twenty seven or twenty nine or twenty four, they still don't know what
10:18
they want to do with their life. Some have quit their jobs completely and
10:22
have decided just to take a break and you know, travel a bit,
10:26
just to kind of, you know, enjoy some time off and enjoy some
10:28
travels, and then you know, that might help them discover what they want
10:33
to do, or it might help them determine if they want to go back
10:35
to school or not and get a degree and a completely different career path that
10:39
they thought for themselves. It is okay to go back to school in your
10:43
late twenties or in your thirties if you generally don't know what you want to
10:46
do with your life. There is no harm in going back to school.
10:50
I know so many people that have either had a career for the first few
10:52
years of their twenties and then realize, yeah, this is not what I
10:56
want to do. I'm going to go back to school for two years,
10:58
get my degree or masters or college diploma, anything like that, and something
11:03
completely different, and that's the career they decided to choose. I know one
11:07
of my best guy friends, you know, he thought he was going to
11:09
take over his dad's company. He literally quit his job three weeks ago and
11:13
now he's a full time firefighter. Like, it doesn't really matter if you
11:18
don't know what you want to do with your life. You're allowed to change
11:20
your mind. You're allowed to feel lost when it comes to picking a career
11:24
for yourself. Again, it kind of goes back to the same topic about
11:26
there is no timeline on your life. People can change, and I think
11:31
it's very common for people to realize that. You know, sometimes you start
11:35
out with a career thinking that that's going to be your career, and then
11:39
you end up going with something completely different. Also, think about yourself as
11:41
a kid. Think about like what you said to yourself, what that you
11:45
were going to be. Like I remember when I was a kid, I
11:46
said I was going to be a nurse. Absolutely not. I hate blood,
11:50
I hate going to school. So I would have had to been schooling
11:54
for like another eight years in order to get my you know, nursing degree
11:58
and go to nursing school and all that and get into residence and anyways,
12:03
just like not something that I was passionate about fully as I grew up.
12:07
Like, you have this vision as a kid, and what you want to
12:09
be, but you end up not even doing that at all. But sometimes
12:13
you also have that vision in your twenties that you're going to be doing this
12:16
career, and again you end up doing something completely different. So it's okay
12:20
to feel lost when it comes to that and know that it's never too late
12:24
to start a different career path. I personally think choosing your career path is
12:31
really really important for your mental health. I personally think that if you don't
12:33
wake up every single morning and you don't love what you do, then why
12:37
are you doing it? I truly believe in that mentality. If you are
12:41
literally miserable at your job, then I really think you need to reevaluate your
12:43
career and really figure out, Okay, what are things that I love and
12:48
what can I do with the career that allows me to do those things.
12:52
I have always loved doing filming, doing editing, Like I think I've mentioned
12:56
this before in the podcast, but I remember when I was in high school,
13:00
well, I would literally like film videos on random trips with my parents,
13:03
and I would edit the video and everything, and then I'd show my
13:05
parents and my parents would be like, oh, you should post this on
13:07
YouTube, And I'm like, oh my goodness, absolutely not, Like I
13:11
just like to edit and I like to do that, right, So then
13:13
my mom was always like, You're never going to make a career out of
13:16
this, Like You're never going to make a career out of video editing or
13:18
anything like that. And at one point I thought I was going to be
13:22
like a director of movies in LA or like video editing for movies or anything
13:26
like that, just because I had such a strong passion for creating video content.
13:31
And then I realized that, you know, becoming an influencer as it
13:35
became, you know, more of a popular career, that was a really
13:39
good fit for me. And I genuinely do love my job, and I
13:41
love what I do, and I love waking up every single morning being able
13:45
to film and edit content every single day, Like that is something I truly
13:48
love and I'm so grateful that I am doing that. But before all this,
13:54
I was doing something completely different. I was managing projects like I was
13:56
a project manager for a health and wellness company, which honestly, I wasn't
14:01
in love with. I didn't wake up every single morning when I told my
14:03
job, to be honest, like, I really didn't love what I did.
14:05
I knew what I loved and I wanted to follow a goal and a
14:09
career that I personally loved and influencing was something that I was really passionate about.
14:15
So in my opinion, you should really reevaluate your job and see if
14:20
it's something that you truly love, because I think at the end of the
14:22
day, if you don't love it, then maybe it's time to change something
14:26
up. But also know that if you feel lost right now and you don't
14:30
know what to do, that is okay. You are not alone. There
14:33
is a lot of other people, including my friends, including my family,
14:37
that are very lost and don't really know what to take on for their next
14:41
challenge right They don't know what to do with the next steps in their lives.
14:45
So sometimes it's important to take a break and try something new. But
14:48
know that not every job is perfect. Obviously every job is going to have
14:52
their cons and that's just the reality of working. If we could all just
14:54
not work and just have free money and be able to do whatever you want,
14:58
I mean, that would be the goal in life. But obviously everyone
15:03
has to have a job in order to live a glamorous life. Just the
15:07
reality. But just know that it's okay to not know what you want to
15:11
do with your life in your twenty news and sometimes it's okay to try new
15:13
things and just yeah, take a break and try something new. Before we
15:18
get into the rest of this episode, I want to say a huge thank
15:20
you to our sponsor. I wanted to say a huge thank you to ag
15:26
One for sponsoring today's episode. Do you guys know I have loved this brand
15:30
for such a long time now, and I've recommended it to so many people,
15:33
including all of you guys. If you guys don't know what ag one
15:37
is, it is a daily foundational nutrition supplement that supports the whole body health.
15:41
It's something I drink every single morning before breakfast. Before taking ag one,
15:46
I used to take so many vitamins in the morning, and to be
15:48
honest, I didn't have much knowledge on what I was taking, what are
15:52
the benefits. I didn't have a good routine when it came to my supplements
15:56
and vitamin intake. It's hard to know where to start when it comes to
16:00
taking supplements. So when I discovered ag one, I found all the benefits
16:03
to taking it and knew it was meant for me. It supports gut health,
16:07
recovery, focus, aging, and so much more. I've been using
16:11
ag one now consistently for almost a year and just love the way I've been
16:15
feeling. It supports your immune system and personally, for me, I've definitely
16:19
noticed a huge difference in my energy levels and just feel more energized throughout the
16:23
day. Ag one is the perfect replacement for your multivitamin and probiotic. It's
16:29
the perfect drinkable habit. What I also love about ag one is that it
16:33
has over seventy five vitamins, mineral, whole food source superfoods, probiotics,
16:37
and so much more in one daily serving. So if you're looking for a
16:41

17:00
next unrealistic thing that people think in their twenties is feeling ready to get married
17:07
and have kids. This one really affects a lot of people in my life
17:11
right now in terms of just being at the age of twenty seven, Like,
17:15
I feel like everyone again goes back to the stigma of feeling like they
17:19
need to be married or engaged or thinking about starting a family and all that.
17:25
And I just hate this stigma so much that people feel like they need
17:29
to get all this done before they're thirty. I mean, I'm being honest,
17:33
Like I personally feel like I see two of my friends who are pregnant
17:36
and it makes me think, Okay, I need to start thinking about starting
17:38
a family before I'm thirty. But Zach and I have obviously had the conversation.
17:41
Obviously, we have a house, We're financially in a very good situation.
17:45
You know, we are getting married, We're planning a wedding, like
17:49
we've talked about, Okay, when do we want to start thinking about having
17:52
kids? And I just personally feel like I'm never going to be ready for
17:56
that. I don't know why. I feel like we knew, you know,
17:59
going into a relationship after like seven years, six years, we knew
18:03
that we wanted to get married. That was something we talked about. And
18:07
I also think it's different when you're in a serious relationship, you know you
18:10
want to take on that next step, right, But I feel like being
18:14
in a relationship for ten years, almost eleven years now, and you know,
18:18
like, as I said, we have a house, we're getting married,
18:19
Like I still don't feel like I'm ready to start a family. And
18:23
I think that's okay. I think that's normal to feel that way. I
18:26
mean, seeing my best friend pregnant is like the most beautiful thing ever and
18:30
I'm so so excited for her. And I want to be a mother,
18:33
like I know that for a fact. I just like I'm waiting for that
18:38
day, I guess for me to feel like I'm ready, but I don't
18:41
know if we'll ever feel that way. And I think nobody's ready to be
18:45
a mom in my opinion, Like some people might be, but I don't
18:48
think there's any right time to be a mom, is what I'm trying to
18:51
say. Like you can feel ready, but I don't think there's ever a
18:52
right time for it to happen. Like I kind of just like want it
18:56
to happen when it happens, you know what I mean, Like kind of
18:59
like what meant to be, what's meant to be right, Like I don't
19:02
really want to force anything, but who knows, maybe in a few years,
19:06
I will have that feeling where I'm ready to start a family, but
19:08
right now I'm definitely not. But there's definitely been a lot of conversations with
19:12
like, obviously you guys and my parents about like you know, and then
19:18
Zach's parents were like, oh, like what do you guys think about having
19:19
kids and all that, and it just like stresses me out, and I'm
19:22
like, guys, there's no timeline in life. Just let us go with
19:26
the flow. Let us figure out this new era of us. I mean,
19:30
like getting into the husband and wife moment and era. I feel like
19:36
it's already a lot and obviously we're very excited about it and we're looking forward
19:40
to it. But I'm just trying to take everything step by step. And
19:42
I think that's important for everyone to take into their life is just don't rush
19:47
anything, take everything step by step. I think everyone in their twenties just
19:51
has this thought that you have to get married and you have to start a
19:53
family in your twenties, and that's just not true. You can do whatever
19:57
you want in your life. And as I said, everyone is at a
20:00
different stage in their life and everyone is just trying to find their own path.
20:03
So that's my take on that. I personally feel like, yeah,
20:08
you should be able to do whatever you want. And sometimes, as I
20:11
said, like, you might be twenty seven and you've never been in a
20:15
serious relationship or you've never even been in a relationship at all, and that's
20:18
okay, that's okay to be like that. There's nothing wrong with that.
20:22
You are going at your own pace and you're going on your own path.
20:26
So just remember that, because I know there's a lot of people that might
20:30
be going through that currently, and I just wanted you to know that you're
20:33
not alone and that it's okay to feel scared. Okay. Another one is
20:37
you will feel less alone in your twenties. I feel like, no matter
20:41
what age you are in your twenties, you were always going to feel lonely
20:45
at some point, whether you're single right now, or you're becoming a new
20:49
mom, or you can't get pregnant, or you're moving on your own or
20:53
moving into a new city, or you don't know what your future holds,
20:59
you're not having a big group of friends, or you're more of that kind
21:02
of person where you enjoy your own company and you just want to be alone.
21:06
I feel like we're always going to feel lost at some points in our
21:10
life, and that's just kind of the reality. I feel like there is
21:14
so much out of stress and anxiety when it comes to feeling lonely obviously,
21:18
because you feel like you're the only one that feels that way, when the
21:22
reality is, I think everybody feels alone in some way. As I said,
21:26
so everyone's going to feel some sense of loneliness within their twenties. Specifically,
21:30
I feel like because again going back to everyone's at a different stage in
21:34
their life, and this includes myself, Like I feel alone sometimes and I
21:41
think a lot of girls feel the same way. So yeah, you know
21:45
what, it's okay to feel alone in your twenties. And the reality is
21:48
is that being in your twenties is not easy. Sometimes people think that it
21:53
is going to be, but it really isn't, no matter if you're in
21:56
your early stages of your twenties or your late stages. Is just kind of
22:00
the reality. But that's okay. We are all going to get through it
22:03
and know that you're not alone. Okay. Another one is your whole life
22:08
will be figured out, Absolutely freaking not. There is no truth in that
22:12
at all. I feel like being in your twenties is such an obstacle.
22:18
Course, there are so many highs and there are so many lows. There
22:21
is a lot of great moments, but there's a lot of sad moments as
22:25
well. But I think all the lows that you have experienced in your life,
22:30
I really think you should take it as learning opportunities. How can you
22:34
learn from this shitty situation? I think we can learn by telling ourselves how
22:40
can we avoid this from happening in the future. I think it's just important
22:42
to really evaluate these lows in your life that potentially really impacted you and how
22:48
can you avoid this for the future. It's all about changing your perspective,
22:52
changing your mindset. You guys know I always talk about trying to shift that
22:55
mindset to a positive one, and yeah, I just think it's important to
23:00
really take those lows and change the perspective into how can I learn from this,
23:03
how can I avoid this in the future, and how can I turn
23:06
this into a positive one. Just know that we're all figuring out our own
23:10
life and things are going to come your way where you're just going to realize
23:12
that, Okay, this is what's meant to happen, and this is what's
23:15
meant to be, and you just kind of got to go with it,
23:18
you know what I mean, You kind of go with the flow. That's
23:19
the kind of way you gotta That is the mindset you've got to have in
23:22
your twenties is just you have to go with the flow. I don't know
23:25
how else to describe that, but I think that's like the best way to
23:27
describe your twenties. And lastly is you will have the same friends since day
23:33
one. Sometimes this can be true. I definitely have a few friends that
23:37
I would say are still by my side, but there is a lot more
23:41
friends that are not my friends anymore. Obviously, friendships come and go,
23:45
and the real ones will always stay by you. Sometimes you grow apart,
23:48
sometimes you move away. Sometimes you guys have different interests and that could be
23:53
really hard to lose a close friend. I can think of a lot of
23:56
close friends that I had through high school that I do not talk to at
24:00
all. And you know, on like Facebook where you get those like Facebook
24:03
memories and it's usually from high school and they're always so cringe. But anyways,
24:10
a lot of those Facebook notifications are from like my core high school group
24:15
and it's just like so weird to see those things, and I don't know
24:18
how to feel about them, Like it's like, should I feel sad?
24:21
Should I not? But at the same time, like I am happy with
24:25
the friends that I have right now, and I am happy with where I
24:26
am in my life. But it does feel weird to have a flashback of
24:30
where you were ten years ago or eight years ago, like in high school,
24:34
and just seeing that different side to you and different friend group and all
24:38
that, and it's a weird feeling. Like I'm sure you guys can understand
24:41
that, but know that the people that are in your life now are so
24:48
so important to you and have made a really positive impact in your life.
24:52
I think of also, making new friends in your twenties is not easy,
24:56
and I think a lot of people struggle with that. I think I think
25:00
social media can really be a huge benefit to that by finding new friends and
25:03
just really like telling through social media that you might have a lot of similar
25:08
interests to someone. It's really amazing how much social media can make you see
25:14
the interest that some people have and how similar it is to you and really
25:18
help you make a connection with someone. So I think that's really important to
25:21
someone who is struggling to find a new friend. I really think social media
25:23
is a huge benefit to finding friends that might have similar interest to you.
25:29
But also another way of meeting new friends is going through another friend. Like
25:33
I met a lot of my friends now through my best friend through a trip.
25:37
She booked a trip for her twenty first birthday. We all went to
25:41
Vegas or was a twenty second I think it was twenty second. We all
25:44
went to Vegas, and she literally invited the most randommest people, Like,
25:47
she did not pick any certain friend group. She's just like, Okay,
25:49
I want to invite everyone that I love and just all come on this trip
25:52
with me to celebrate my birthday. And a lot of the friendships that I
25:56
made that trip are my good friends now. So it just shows that you
26:00
can meet your friends at any point in your life, and some are going
26:03
to come, some are going to go, and that's just kind of the
26:06
reality of being in your twenties. And as I said, sometimes it's true
26:10
that the same friends can stay by your side since day one, but know
26:12
that the reality is is that some are going to not be a part of
26:17
your life forever, and that's just kind of the reality. And know that
26:19
the ones that are staying by your side are the ones that truly mean the
26:25
most too, in my opinions. So that's my take on that when it
26:29
comes to friendships. But yeah, those are some of the things that kind
26:33
of just came through my head this week in terms of just unrealistic things that
26:36
I thought would happen in your twenties. I think at the end of the
26:41
day, we are all feeling the same way. I think. I think
26:44
everybody feels lost, feels lonely. Sometimes sometimes people feel like they had their
26:49
shit together and then you know, two years later they may not feel like
26:52
they have their shit together. Like I think, being in your twenties is
26:56
a rollercoaster. There's going to be different phases in your life where going to
27:00
be so high and so good and then there's gonna be times where you feel
27:03
so low and so lost. And that's just the reality. So anyways,
