Part 2/13:
Social norms have scripted a clear narrative—graduate by 22, land a job by 23, get hitched by 25, buy a house by 28, and start a family by 30. Yet, this path is not a universal truth. Most individuals in their 20s are actually experimenting with life, facing failures, and starting over, all while coming to terms with their feelings of insecurity. Rather than viewing this phase as a failure of plans, we need to understand it as an integral part of the journey.
