If I Were 22: It's Okay

The world changes, you change but at 22, you are okay.

You are an adult but always someone else's kid.

You are working with a job that has a pretty paycheque attached to it, save money and be sure to donate some of your money and time to charity.

You want to be the best at all you are doing but you aren't sure exactly what it is you are doing, but you know it's important.

You want to be married but don't realise that simply means you are with one person for the rest of your life.

You want to see the world but you want to be close to your family.

You want to prove yourself but who are you? You are 22, and you are okay.

You made decisions, you will make more as they come and the end of the day, it's all okay. All you experience will help you find your path. Could you have taken different routes? Of course! But for what? At the end of the day, your path will be okay. You will survive. Sometimes you will wonder how but you will.

Do as you do and learn from everyone and everything around you. You are no better or worse than anyone else.

Remember, everyone knows something you don't and no matter how much time goes by, when you lose those that are close to you, you will never get that time back, so spend time with your grandparents and your parents, even if they drive you nuts. Keep your great friends closer and know that all you go through is just a phase. Everything bad will pass but so will everything good so hang in there, kid, you are okay!
