My 20’s feel like a burr. A cocktail of parties, boys, university and day dreaming about the future. It wasn’t until my mid to late twenties that I started really questioning myself and wondering what I was doing which then birthed the confusion and the depression.
I have spoken to many ladies in their twenties and I find that although everyone’s story is different, the questioning part and the sometimes resulting confusion and depression is similar across board. I tell everyone I speak to that ‘every thing good will come’…it may take time but it will come.
Today’s vlog is a short summary of some of the things I wish in knew in my twenties. In truth, I still struggle with them even now in my 30’s. Are you 30 something? What do you wish you knew in your 30’s? Or maybe you are twenty something and you have questions? Please share and lets discuss!

Hello Glory! As a lady in my 30s, here are a few things I wish I knew in my 20s:
1. It’s okay to be different: I used to worry a lot about not being as outgoing as other people. I know now that there is nothing wrong with being different; we all have something unique to contribute to society.
2. Believe in yourself more: This will positively affect and improve the quality of your school work, career performance and even the kinds of friendships/relationships you find yourself in.
3. Be adventurous: If you can afford to, travel. Make friends. Learn a new language. Take a salsa dancing class. Create memories for yourself.
4. That low point will pass away: That heartbreak? You will get over it. That bad job? You will get a better one. Life is full of highs and lows.
Keep on inspiring others Glory!
Am 29 going on 30 n am so scared of it cos I haven’t achieved any major milestone yet. Well, God is in control. Let his will be done in my life.
I loved that you were very real. Thanks for the advice, they are real. I love how you said ‘that heartbreak, it’s not the end of the world. More are even coming’ lol. My heart was broken at some point but truly like you said, it has passed and I am a much better person now. I just turned 30 last month, was a bit sad initially and did not want to have a party even though it was a huge mark/turning point for me but one day, I heard Joyce Meyer say we should be grateful through life’s journey and have a party ‘cos God loves celebrations. She was turning 70 and she said she won’t have just 1 party but 3 parties!! I was like whaaat! and here i was having a pity party. So, I threw a proper party and told everyone it was the send-forth to my twenties party.
Now everyone knows my age but I really don’t care anymore. I am glad to have met me and am open to discovering, learning, unlearning and relearning.
Saving like you said is a bit tough but I am relearning. in all, thanks for the vlog, it resonated.
