Twentysomethings who don't feel anxious and incompetent at work are usually overconfident or underemployed. - Meg Jay

Choosing well comes not just from knowing who your loved one is but also from knowing who you are too.

Many twentysomethings assume life will come together quickly after thirty, and maybe it will. But it is still going to be a different life.

We think that by avoiding decisions now, we keep all of our options open for later — but not making choices is a choice all the same.
