25 things I've learnt at 25

Adults are just big kids

Friendships are limited, but still worthwhile

Affirmation makes all the difference

People pleasing is unproductive

Nobody's coming to save me

Early retirement is achievable

Everyone has issues

I am risk-averse

I'm addicted to social media... like every other Gen Z

I gossip

Vulnerability that is curated and reviewed... isn't true vulnerability

I have a good life

I miss being the reliable older sister

I'm more similar to my mum than I'd like to admit

It's okay not to be career-driven

I need structure in my life

I'm adrift and yearn for land

I can only move forward if I meet myself where I am

Finding community is hard

People are neither good nor bad

The right answers are usually the most nuanced

You can't grow in comfort

If I can't fit into a system, I need to pivot

I need to treat my family better

I need to see my friends more often
