There are few things more beautiful than a girl becoming a woman. Throughout our twenties, we are learning, growing, and shaping ourselves into the women we want to be for the rest of our years. Our twenties are the time to build a solid foundation, and it's a chance to discover what we're really made of. We have the ability to surprise ourselves, and by trying to new things, pushing ourselves to the limit, and edging outside of our comfort zone, we evolve. This is the time to grow our foundation. Although time is inevitable, not everyone makes the most of it. Let's not let this precious time slip through our fingers, lovely girl.
