Twenty-Something T___sday

“The best thing about life in your twenties

is the slow realization of endless possibility 

that seems to bloom under the skin,

imparting dewy confidence and bravado 

that suddenly mists your body

with a golden shimmer of prowess.

The best thing about your twenties 

is the slow, delicious awakening 

to the fact that you are indeed exquisitely, perfectly poised

to be absolutely anything and anyone you wish.”

-An Amazing Woman I Know

Can we just relish these words for a minute?  How often does one get to read or use such a phrase as "delicious awakening" or "dewy confidence"?  Being a twenty-something never sounded so good.
