Things You Wish Someone Told You About Your 20s with Author, Cimber Cummings
Cimber Cummings is a writer, speaker, and new author who recently published her first book Twenty Something. I picked up a copy of her book after Cimber came to BrandWell for some branding design work. I fell in love with her witty, candid, and write-how-she-speaks style as she gives life advice from her 20s experience.
Where Cimber’s Story Began
Cimber always enjoyed writing but never had the goal to write a book someday. When she was 29 years old, she started processing that she was about to turn 30, and it freaked her out. “Personally, for me, I felt a little bit behind the curve of what my life should have looked like when I entered my 30s,” she explained.
To help her process through this change, she decided to write down significant stories from the past decade in her 20s. It was then she realized these stories really needed to be shared with other women around her. Although some details would be different, we all share the same themes in our 20s.
“Some” Things You Wish Someone Told You About Your 20s
Your twenties are a time to discover what you enjoy and you’re good at.
You don’t have to have it all figured out in your twenties.
You won’t get everything you want or desire, but it makes way for better Yes’ in the future.
When receiving a harder No to accept, don’t reject the Lord out of your anger.
Recognize what aspects in social media are producing unhealthy things in yourself. (Comparison, vanity, insecurity, pride, etc.)
How To Make Your 20s The Best They Possibly Can Be
Take advantage of your unique position in life because you have a lot of energy, a lot of availability, and the ability to try new things.
Get to know God better and you’ll get to know yourself better.
Live in the now. Don’t wish or waste away your current moments because where you are now is preparing you for the next place.
Your 20s are an investment, take them seriously!
