20 Things We'd Tell Our Twentysomething Selves
20 Things We'd Tell Our Twentysomething Selves | Kelli Worrall, Peter Worrall
8 posts
Foster good habits. Press into pain. Never, ever get another perm. Despite what many think, our twenties arent that dead space between youth and real life. Done right, they can be among our most important years. In 20 Things Wed Tell Our 20-Something Selves, college professors Peter and Kelli Worrall look back on it allthe good, the bad, and the miserableto give you the best of what theyve learned. With humility, warmth, and brilliant storytelling, they invite you not only into their wisdom but into their lives, sharing about faith, marriage, drawn-out adoptions, dark nights of the soul, and the God whos in it all. 20 Things is more than a list of advice; its a book that can change your life. Let the trend of your twenties be sowing wisdom, and who knows what the rest of life will bring? Includes action steps, discussion questions, and ideas for further reading at the end of each chapter.

IheartYA I'm always cold too. 😫 Not good for me, working in a diagnostic unit of a hospital where it's extra cold. 5y

Daisey The hammock! So my happy outdoor reading place as well! 5y
BiblioLitten Great list! 💚 5y
Itchyfeetreader 😂😂at number 8 - I get that a lot no one sees the quiet time at home to recoup! 5y
Kaye #11. Do t blame you ! Great answers. 💕 5y
sammisho @CouronneDhiver It is a long list. Mike n Ikes, Hot Tamales, Milk Duds, Starburst, gummy worms, pink laffy taffy. I am on a twix kick right now. Paydays are delicious. Reese's. 5y
Purrfectpages I‘d say I‘m a pretty outgoing introvert too. 5y
sammisho @Itchyfeetreader @Purrfectpages It is hard, because people don't always understand when I have had enough and need to be alone. 5y
sammisho @monalyisha @Daisey counting down the days until hammock season! 5y
Purrfectpages @Purrfectpages I think being an only child has made me comfortable with a certain amount of alone time that‘s higher than most. 5y

I had so much fun with this! Thanks to @LibrarianRyan ♥️ #20ThingsAboutMe
@Courtneycc09

LibrarianRyan No pizza!!! 😢 5y
blithebuoyant @LibrarianRyan it‘s so much bread! And tomato sauce! Ick. I can sometimes tolerate it if it‘s thin and Alfredo 5y
tracey38 I am the same with #3 - it's hard, a rollercoaster of emotions. And we had a similar year as your #12 a few years back. Hugs to you! 5y

@Trashcanman thanks for the tag! Sorry y‘all will have to use a magnifying glass to read!! #20thingsaboutme

Smrloomis #18 😂😂😂 also lovely that your spouse makes you laugh on a daily basis 👍🏽 (edited) 5y
EleniKara Love 1920s fashion! 5y
Carolyn11215 @EleniKara have you seen the Miss Fisher Murder Mysteries series on Netflix? Must see if you love 20‘s fashion!! 5y

Carolyn11215 @smrloomis, apparently I looked around sheepishly hoping there were no witnesses. As soon as I got into the house my neighbor was on the phone letting me know that at least one person had viewed my little run-in with the tree. 5y
Trashcanman Super cool answers. Don't be a stranger, feel free to tell me weird shit or to shut the hell up anytime. Lol 5y
LeahBergen # 18! 😂😂 5y
Kaye Too bad you live so far away. I‘d teach you to crochet. Did you like living in NY or where you‘re at now more ? 5y
Carolyn11215 @kaye I loved living in NYC for most of my time there but last 10 years were hard. I fell in love with Santa Fe about 30 years ago and it fits my late 50s life much better than NYC did. Slower pace, better work/life balance. Need a crochet mentor!!! (edited) 5y
Kaye I‘d think the weather would be better out there also. I‘ve never been there before. Have you tried watching any of the YouTube crochet videos ? Some of them are great. Go very slow, show close up what to do. Just stop the video if you need a repeat or need to slow down. I‘ll try helping in any way I can. (edited) 5y
Carolyn11215 @kaye, I actually joined Blueprint so I could get beginner tutorials and project supplies. I just need to set aside some time to work on basic stitches. 5y
Kaye Good luck. Share some photos when you get a start. 🙂 5y

Crazeedi Thanks for the amazing list about you! Really neat about your website, I'll have to check it out! (edited) 5y
wanderinglynn I love to color too. And badminton is so fun! I wish I had someone to play with. 👍🏻 5y
Karisa I read every night before sleep too and sometimes keep dreaming about the stories. Have fallen asleep with Kindle still clutched many nights, and had it slip/smack me in the face while sleeping a few times.😂 5y
readordierachel Badminton! How fun 🙂 5y

TheBookAddict @LibrarianRyan @TheReadingMermaid thanks 😊 @me_myshelf_and_i I can watch it any time of the year. @Lynnsoprano right, me too! 5y
BarbaraTheBibliophage We loved Kauai also. Next trip is France! 🙌🏻🇫🇷🌸 5y
Crazeedi It's so fun to read everyone's answers 5y
TheBookAddict @BarbaraTheBibliophage it‘s just so beautiful and calming. I hope you have fun in France. Are you just going to Paris? I think I enjoyed Lyon and Grenoble more than Paris, but I don‘t like cities that much even though I was born and raised in Chicago. 5y
TheBookAddict @Crazeedi it is! 🙂 5y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @TheBookAddict We‘re going to Paris and then a little village called Les Aires, which is in the South. Our friend just bought a house there. 5y
TheBookAddict @BarbaraTheBibliophage that sounds wonderful! 🙂💕 enjoy! 5y
Kaye You‘ve gotten to visit lots of places for being yet so young ! Nice to learn more about you ♥️ 5y
TheBookAddict @kaye yes, I‘ve been very fortunate to have supportive parents who wanted me to see and experience the world that they haven‘t been able to see nor experience. I haven‘t traveled much after getting married, but we hope to be able to do so sometime soon even if it‘s just to a different state. Thanks, it‘s so nice to be able to get to know more about our fellow littens. 🙂💕 5y

@LibrarianRyan

This was fun! Welcome to all new Littens!

LibrarianRyan Yeah. I love to play games too but have no one to play with. 5y
wanderinglynn @LibrarianRyan me too! I‘d love to join a game group, but introvert. 5y
wanderinglynn Genealogy is something I‘d love to get into. I‘ve started a little bit using ancestry.com, but really need to make a better effort. Any tips? 5y

Karkar I love board games! 5y
Sresendez12 Love bunco! We were just talking today at work about getting a bunco group together 5y
LMJenkins @wanderinglynn I could give you some tips! Probably better in email or something....I started with a tree and then took a DNA test. I‘m obsessed! 5y
Kaye Same. # 7, 8 and 16. Was gonna ask if we can hang out. We could walk off the poundage and do the other things together. Sing and be snarky. 😁 5y
LMJenkins @kaye That would be fun! If you‘re ever near Williamsburg, Virginia.....⭐️ 5y
Kaye Sounds great. Williamsburg is beautiful. I was there twice on vacation many years ago. 5y
