1. Your twenties are a period where you're constantly questioned about your plans for the future, even though life itself is confusing.
2. Especially when it feels like everyone around you is reaching signficant milestones, and constantly documenting them on social media.
3. But your twenties are all about learning that relationships come in many different shapes and forms.
You may think you have experienced love, break up, feel heartbroken, never see how you'll move on, only to meet someone new later down the line who makes you happy in completely different ways. It's good to try people on for size. It's the only time we get to be young and reckless, after all.
4. You know that heartbreak is so called for a reason. The pain can be all consuming.
5. And you've had times where you've questioned the point of relationships when it seems they all end badly.
6. But every relationship – and breakup – you experience, teaches something about yourself.
7. So when you do finally have a date that goes well, it's pretty awesome.
8. But then there's the weird stage where you're not quite sure ~what you are,~ but you keep going anyway and hope that it works out.
9. Eventually you'll have the ~conversation~ and suddenly things will be even better than they were before.
10. Because that's when you really start to get to know each other.
11. And that goes for sex too. Because it's always better when it's with someone you actually like.
12. However, you know by now that relationships aren't like the stuff we see in films.
13. In fact, they can be pretty damn hard.
14. And if someone walks away from a relationship, the chances are they aren't coming back.
15. But, as hard as it is to forget the memories and move on, you know you should never fight for someone who hasn't fought to stay with you.
16. You learn that soulmates aren't really a thing. There can be many potential "The Ones" depending on where you are in your life.
17. But it's important not to let the scars from your past dictate your future.
18. Because your twenties are a time for fun, before you have any real responsibility.
19. You understand that a relationship is worth the hard moments when you know you're happier together than you ever were apart.
20. Grand gestures don't constitute romance. It's in the small moments.
21. And soon you're reaching milestones of your own.
22. But just because you're in a relationship, it doesn't mean other areas of your life should be neglected.
23. However, with all the changes that inevitably happen during this time in your life, it's nice to have someone who is just there for you.
24. And life is just that little bit better when you know you have someone on your team.
25. And when your significant other becomes your BFF too, it's pretty special.
26. Ultimately though, whether you're with someone or not, you know who you are. And you're perfectly fabulous either way.
