As someone just getting started with their twenties, I don't believe it's already over for me. And because I refuse to believe it, I continue to fight, one day at a time, until I eventually disprove the claim "it's over after 20."
I was absolutely miserable during my teen years, never fit in with my peers since i wasn't too keen on drinking (yes, i am from europe, drinking at 16 is the norm), along with my quarrel with my gender and sexuality (i didn't fully realise until quite recently, still ongoing)
And in the last few years, it has been slowly going up. Of course there were setbacks, failures, hurdles with no end. But dsspite that, I kept going, mostly because of momentum. And now I am considerably better than even just 2 years ago.
It gets better. You just have to be around to see it for yourself.
