I think the 20s are a vastly overrated decade. We promise kids that once they get out of school, life will begin and their dreams will come true. But then comes the struggle.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I definitely would never go back to my 20s. The best is yet to come.
I used to love the '20s.
The Twenties have this sort of attitude where you never know what's around the corner.
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.
I feel like I experienced my 20s in all their glory and all their disastrousness.
The '20s ended in an era of extravagance, sort of like the one we're in now. There was a big crash, but then the country picked itself up again, and we had some great years. Those were the days when American believed in itself. I was happy and proud to be painting it.
The '20s are a very interesting period to me.
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.
Each decade, I've lived in that decade, so I could easily shed the '20s, the '30s, the '40s.
