OH THOSE TWENTIES...

i’ve been a HUGE fan of @relevantmagazine for a while now + recently came across this article that i just had to share. FIRE, you guys..FIRE! written by paul sohn, the article is titled “5 things to stop doing in your 20s”..honestly, i know i’m only a 24 almost 25 year old, but his points go for ALL ages. whether you are a teenager, thirty something year old, whatever! he goes into detail under each of these five categories:

• STOP LOOKING FOR EVERYONE’S APPROVAL.
• STOP SETTLING FOR THE EASY WAY—IT WON’T TAKE YOU WHERE YOU WANT.
• STOP THINKING THE LIFE YOU WANT WILL COME WITHOUT INTENTIONALITY.
• STOP EXPECTING HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS TO JUST HAPPEN.
• STOP EXPECTING YOUR IDEAL FUTURE TO HAPPEN WITHOUT WORK.

some of his points that i could relate to the most this year:

• leave toxic people alone. never easy, but bad company corrupts good character right? 
• do away with casual dating. i get asked WEEKLY why i'm single or why i'm not dating or putting myself out there. honestly, i know that from some people it's coming from a good place, but i'll be honest and say it can get annoying AF. i meet men. i date. but if he isn't on the same page or isn't pursuing marriage..than sorry not sorry, boy bye! no shame in that. "dating with no vision is a recipe of failure" YUP! 
• work in pursuit of your calling, not just money. your gifts, your passions, your dreams, your goals. they matter. sometimes you need to pursue your calling + have faith that money will follow. 

i really recommend this short article! if you read it, what stood out to you the most? would love to hear!
