From dating disasters to fashion flops (low-rise jeans, we’re looking at you), every facepalm moment built the fabulous, fierce, and gloriously unbothered woman you are today. This is the letter your younger self desperately needed—and the reminder your current self deserves.
Dear 20-Year-Old Me,
First of all, put down the tweezers. Overplucked eyebrows are not the move, and yes, they will take a decade to grow back.
You’re trying to get everything “right”—the job, the man, the timeline society handed you like a sad little starter pack. But spoiler alert: none of those things will go as planned. And that’s the best news ever.
You’ll date people who think ambition is “intimidating,” wear shoes that hurt in the name of style, and say yes when you should’ve screamed hell no. And through it all, you’ll learn.
You’ll learn that peace is more powerful than being liked. That rest is not laziness. That you’re not too loud, too weird, too opinionated—you’re just right for the life you’re meant to live.
And most importantly: you’ll discover the quiet joy of being child-free by choice, waking up to a life designed by you, not defaulted by others.
So thank you, younger me, for fumbling and figuring it out. Your “mistakes” were actually the blueprint. I wouldn’t be this fabulous without your faceplants.
Empowering Takeaway
Midlife isn’t a crisis—it’s a climax. A celebration. A reinvention. You’re not behind—you’re exactly where you need to be, with wisdom, boundaries, and unmatched energy for becoming your own damn hero.
