First, you have made it! You have successfully gone through your childhood and the
adolescent stages and are now and emerging adult! Now that you are breaching your 20’s is maybe
already there, here’s some important information. To start, claiming your 20’s is one of the simplest
and most transforming parts of your life, and most of your defining moments will happen in your 20’s
so hang on tight! [ CITATION Meg19 \l 1033 ]. All of these decisions your making now will affect you in
the future, so choose them wisely. Adulthood comes on quickly which now is the time to define
exactly where you want to be in your 30’s.
Adulthood is hard to define, but it is part of life. The choices you make after adolescent will
create your future, whether you are getting married, going to college, having children, this will be the
deciding factor time for you! If you dream it, do it! Make yourself a safe and secure future. Take time to
protect yourself against the areas that can harm you, but instead use it to your benefit. Search your
heart and lead by your heart instead of following your body. [ CITATION Dav19 \l 1033 ]
Are you struggling with questions? Like why is growing up so hard? Think about the world
today and what it is compared to how it was. Growing up in the earlier years was much different then it
is today. Do not be discouraged by what the world has become, but stay focused on what you want in
the future. Now is the time to stay positive and hopeful! While you could want it just to hurry up and
get there, remember that it is a process and what you choose during your emerging adulthood will
affect what happens in your adulthood. There is nothing wrong with taking time to prepare yourself in
order to have a successful future! [ CITATION Jef19 \l 1033 ]
Use this time to find yourself, and what you love to do. If you wait after you have already made
commitments, it will be harder to do these dreams of yours. During Emerging adulthood, it is your time
to shine so take it and enjoy it!
