Wisdom comes with age. So sometimes looking back at your past decisions, especially mistakes, can be really hard. Despite the fact that we can’t change the past, the future is still in our hands. When trying to figure out what we want this future to look like it helps to seek advice from the elder generation.
Writer and university professor Nyasha Junior turned to Twitter to ask women in their 40’s what advice they would give to their 20-something selves. The number of responses she received was overwhelming and all of them served an important purpose. The advice all these women gave not only allowed them to reflect on their own lives, but also gave young women the opportunity to learn some important life lessons. Scroll below to read some of these tweets and don’t forget to leave your own in the comments!
