My 20s were a completely and utterly different time in my life.

People idealize or reminisce about their 20s, but nobody tells you beforehand that it's hard and unglamorous and often very unpleasant.

I think your 20s are the hardest part of life. I mean, everyone goes on about how hard it is to be a teenager, but actually I think it's tougher to be in your 20s because you're expected to be a grownup and expected to earn your own living and be successful and I think you feel like a kid still.

My 20s were a lost decade. I didn't do much of anything.

My 20s was a time for self-exploration and, okay, a little self-indulgence.

Even though I am in my mid-40s, I live like I am in my mid-20s.

The '20s are a very interesting period to me.

By my mid-20s, I was a total mess.
