So yesterday (28/04), I turned 20!

I woke feeling somewhat sad. Sad that I'm older, sad that I am no longer a teenager, sad that I've wasted away my youth.. I tried really hard to hold back my tears as my parents said Happy Birthday to me.

However, I was determined not to let my thoughts ruin my day. I ended up watching comedy variety shows with my siblings the whole afternoon, afterwards we went church, then I had my cake! I'm now in bed trying to sleep for first day back at uni tomorrow.

I truly hope that my twenties will be fulfilling. That I won't have regrets. That I will never give up. That I will find myself and be happy.

Also can you guys give me some movie/book recommendations?

At 20 you still have your youth. You still have the opportunity to do and become whatever your heart desires. Don't look back, live in the moment and make good decisions in the here and now that will lead you to the type of future that you wish to have. Chase your dreams and make them a reality. At only 20 years of age you have many, many years ahead of you, and if you recognize that the decisions you make now while you are young will shape your life going forward. I look back at some of the decisions I made in my youth that were not good choices and put me in some bad spots. I recognize now that when I was young is when I was least prepared to make important life decisions because I lacked life experience. Make good decisions now and they can benefit you for a lifetime. Happy birthday! Celebrate your youth while you have it! :)

Wasted away your youth at 20? That's impossible as you are still very young.

Happy birthday and enjoy it without feeling sad. x

Happy birthday! You have a long lovely life ahead. I know how scary it must feel right now. I was at that point 20 years again and it’s frightening! But you have the chance to take what you have learned and the regrets and learn from them and move on from them. I know for me the greatest book I go to for self help is the Bible....then Utmost Highest by Oswald Chambers. There is so much wisdom in both. Take things one day at a time and don’t let the world suck you into things that in the end don’t really matter. Praying you have an amazing year! -Rachel
