Being Twenty-Something [thread 2]

[tomatostellar]

Being 25..  lots of good and bad things happen..

At 21, been working with a multimillion company
At 22, got pregnant.. 23, gave birth..
At 24, I lost my dad..
At 25, I lost my mom..

At this age, I need to be more mature, stronger and have a positive outlook in life...
Wala ng parents na gagabay... 

rough past 2 years </3  sad, but I'm sure mas naging strong ka sis



Now 27, need to pursue and accomplish more

[blackgreen]

Sis eilegna, you'll be strong for your loved ones. I lost my parents at an early age too. 18 ako nung mamatay mother ko, 19 naman father ko. Me and my sister survived

[eilegna]

Yup.. Thank you sisses..
Mas marami pang challenges na darating..
Kakayanin.. especially for my daughter..

-Being 20something? I learned to appreciate things/people around me, was able to travel, able to buy things I want but with moderation.. hehe,because I am a breadwinner.
 Made me a wise woman  and lastly I was able to give some tips/advice to teenagers

Makatambay nga dito Last year ko na bilang twenty-something! I am completely happy, I have my own family. Simpleng simple ang buhay namin yet contented kami.

I think it's a must to decide to be happy whatever age group you're in. For me and best part of being 20 something (not yet married) is I have freedom to do/pursue a lot of things (Not that you cannot do these once you're married or have a kid) ~ especially mag travel. Di ako super lakwatsera, but since I'm earning na, and wala pang kid, mas madali mag lamyerda and try new things.
Nagka phase na ako na nagpupunta sa mga bar  and go "clubbing" (is clubbing an acceptable term? haha di kasi ako "cool kid")
Til now I still go to (rock)gigs and concerts.
Kumbaga walang guilt-feeling kung mag alot ka ng sweldo mo para sa mga ganon bagay unlike mga parents lagi kasama sa decision-making si baby.

Being Twenty Something, eto mas nakakatulong na sa parents. Mas naeenjoy yung life medyo afford na yung mga gustong bilhin esp. foods. 7 years pa ang dapat kong enjoyin, and syempre kasama pa din sa twenty something na magkaroon ako ng own family. Target ko kase eh 28 since I am 23 palang eto enjoy enjoy muna ako.

[missus13]

I'm starting to be more mature and focus myself on what i will do next, and keep asking myself what are my goals in life. But honestly, i'm not enjoying it, malayo sa mga sa mahal sa buhay.

Pahabol ako sa thread na toh, I'm turning 30 this month. 20s ko, puro work and got to be independent. I've met different kinds of people, have been in different relationships. I gave birth at 27 and settled down. I can say na I have everything I need. Syempre, there are still a lot of things I want to do and achieve. Kaya sa mga girls na nasa 20s pa, enjoy, go out, travel, meet new people and date. Habang bata pa kayo have fun, as long as you know your limits. Sabi nga, you can always earn money but you can never take back time. 

[may12]

Only time in my life where I feel I'm in control. Nasa akin na lang if magpapaka-responsable ako o hindi.
Of course, sobrang dami kong problem in my 20s. As in dito ko naranasan yung pinaka-lowest time of my life.
Pero siguro it helped na I was always depressed in my teens. Kaya ngayong 20s na ako, kahit may problems pa din, mas positive na ako.

Being twenty-something is the time where I showed the true me without hesitation
...being careless on what others would say
...where you can buy stuff you can't afford earlier in your life
...where you became more open minded and knows how to move on with life
...learned that things happen for a reason
...that things are part of life's requirement
...having the sense of independence

[Miss Taken]

Oh well being twenty-something is not easy but I've already learned a lot in this stage of my life. It's where we define what we would like to do with our life and with our future. There are times where I feel like I'm already an adult but then there are moments where I feel so small and clueless. I have to remind myself to take one step a time and make sure that I'm surrounded with loving and supportive people. When I go check my fb account, I can see that almost all of my close friends are either engaged or married/have kids. I am happy for them but I know that I'm still not ready for that kind of commitment, emotionally and financially. Well life eventually does settle and right now, I'll just enjoy the ride.

[nocturnalnerd]

Being twenty something, this is time of my life where I could fully devote my time to myself, where I could build my career, do my passion, and do whatever makes me happy. 

[tomatostellar]

Malapit na ko magpa alam sa aking 20s.
Natuwa naman ako sa mga experiences ko

[missyuko]

in my early twenties ~

The expectations of others sayo, yup. super nakaka pressure and the looks you get if you didn't meet your relatives expectations. yikes.

akala ko nga din makakapag travel ako, financial indepence agad pero hindi pala lalo na mag sstart pa lang ako maghanap ng panibagong career . hindi kasi ok ang salary sa dti kong career sa teaching industry kaya gusto ko mag shift. hopeful pa din ako na ma eexperience ko pa din ang finacial independence at 20 and other things 20 something gals experience.

[Faina]

Huhu, reading some posts in my thread makes me feel sad about myself

I turned 23 last July, and I'm still in university, studying. I expect to be finished by the time I'm 24 or 25, but the delay is my fault naman, there's no one else to blame. It just makes me feel sad because I feel like I'm missing out on a lot of things, even my friends have started to travel around the world already, and here I am, still worrying about exams and school work.

Oh well, there's no helping it I just have to get it over with.

[Miss Taken]

Now that I'm 25 and they think my bf and I are already stable, the most annoying frequent question is: "Kelan niyo balak magpakasal?"

I realized na when you're in your mid 20s, people will start asking you kung kelan mo balak mag settle down

[swtgrl_bee]

^Mostly ba yan from your relatives? Ako naman ang alam ko ngayon career driven na talaga ang mga tao. Yung SIL ko kaka 25 lang niya never kami nagtanong ng ganyan, actually tanong pa namin kela siya magiging supervisor.  Sobrang OA kasi mag-work yun. Saka traveller siya mukhang malayong malayo pa mag settle down.

[Miss Taken]

Relatives and friends. Yeah we?re both focus on our careers and our soon to be business kaya nagaalala daw sila na baka nandun na yung focus namin. Stable naman na daw so why not get married na din. Ewan ko ba sa kanila eh we both think na we?re still young so no need to rush.
