Your twenties seem to be the time where the only thing that matters is to get to know yourself. Becoming your own best friend seems to be core to this process. You need to accept and get to know yourself.

The people that struggle seem to project an image of themselves into the world that is not who they are or how they feel. The difference between reality and self image creates a lot of emotional turmoil, self loathing and unstable mental health.

People who find direction seem to be happier. How do you find it? Ask yourself: ‘What did I do hours on end as a kid?’ As a kid you are honest, and you only do what you’re interested in.

What did you like as a kid? That is the general direction you should go in.
