Twenties, best time of your life they said.<\/p>\n
Twenties, young, wild, and free they claimed.<\/p>\n
No money, no answers, no time<\/p>\n
But twenties! It\u2019s all fun!<\/p>\n
No direction, no certainty, no love<\/p>\n
But twenties! It is fine!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Make sure to study, to go out, to make friends,<\/p>\n
But ensure that your time is well spent.<\/p>\n
Hit the gym once or twice,<\/p>\n
And give your driver\u2019s licence a try.<\/p>\n
But by the way, when\u2019s graduation? It\u2019s about time!<\/p>\n
And did you meet someone? We want grandchildren some time!<\/p>\n
But focus on your career, it is important.<\/p>\n
Independency is good, but loneliness is unpleasant.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
What an oxymoron to my ear<\/p>\n
We\u2019re supposed to be energetic,<\/p>\n
but we\u2019re just tired every day of the year.<\/p>\n
Be happy, ambitious, enthusiastic.<\/p>\n
Climb mountains, swim oceans, travel the word.<\/p>\n
Little did they know that pressure is a shark.<\/p>\n
And us little fishes drowning in the ride.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We\u2019ll eventually find our path in due time.<\/p>\n
And make the twenties a state of mind.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ll figure it out, I\u2019m sure.<\/p>\n
We just need to hold on, be brave, and endure.<\/p>\n
Take risks and make mistakes.<\/p>\n
And do it on our own time frame.<\/p>\n
And maybe one day, we\u2019ll say.<\/p>\n
That twenties were the best time anyway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
