Twenty – Something Does Not Have To Be Twenty – Everything!

You don’t have to have it all figured out by 30 (or really by any age because life is a constant journey).  During our twenty-something years, there can be a tremendous amount of pressure to figure everything out.  We search for answers to important questions like “What do I want?” and “What do I want…
