Mid-Twenties: Lessons Learned

I'm a woman in her mid-twenties and I definitely don't know it all. In fact, it feels like I thought I knew MUCH more about life ten years ago, than I do today! Isn't it funny how ignorance is bliss?

I’m a twenty-something year old bookworm who is always seeking new experiences.
