By my mid-20s, I was a total mess.
The '20s are a very interesting period to me.
I was having my teens in my 30s.
I used to love the '20s.
I had some wonderful times in my 20s, but your 20s are hard.
Now I look back and think if I'd spent more time enjoying myself instead of crying into my pillow over men, my 20s would have been fabulous!
You go through your 20s sort of like a chrysalis in many ways, stretching into your own skin and trying to bust out of a cocoon.
I have a very vivid memory of the way my parents spoke, and the 50's that I grew up in are closer to the 20's, I think, than today in many, many ways.
People idealize or reminisce about their 20s, but nobody tells you beforehand that it's hard and unglamorous and often very unpleasant.
My 20s were a completely and utterly different time in my life.
