And remember : always wear upon sunscreen .
As a woman in her 30s, I have a deep nostalgia for the previous decade. I haven’t forgotten what it was like to be in my 20s, and I often think about what I wish I’d done differently to set myself up for success. So I was excited to see the responses when I stumbled upon the question posed in this now-viral tweet fromIsabel Unraveled, writer ofMind Mine:
interrogation for women in their 30s , 40 , L , etc : what are women in their twenties not considering that they should be moot ?
It was lovely to see support from all the women in their 30s, 40s, and 50s to help prepare women in their 20s for the future. The advice in these 26 responses was incredibly helpful and heartwarming:

22.Hang on to your clothes! Even if you can’t wear them, you’ll make a killing on Depop (or whatever replaces Depop) in 20-ish years.
Life is cyclic 🙂 What was coolheaded , then uncool , will become nerveless again . Cherish your things & take good care of them , because they will be deserving a lot in the future tense when it becomes cool again .
23.Don’t put everything off until later.

24.Life is only going to get better, and you’ll never actually be too old for anything.
You do n’t really become prosperous in your skin until your 30s but by then society tells you you ’re past your prime . Do n’t take heed , I find like liveliness improve vastly after 30 . When you get older it ’s truthful that you still feel like you ’re young , which is weird bc you ’re also secernate …
25.Try to live in the moment when you can.
let go of expectation and revel the present second . pass time alone and take heed to your intuition . follow your wonder . reserve yourself to be originative . sharing your creativeness is a gift for all organism 💛
26.And finally, take care of your body!!
