Twenty Something by Ron Lim

At the age of 22, Ron packed his bags and bought a one-way ticket out of the place he’d lived in his entire life. Now, at age 29, he looks back at his twenties, writing out his thoughts, feelings and the lessons he’s learned while living on the road for the last 7 years.

“Twenty Something” is a collection of prose and poetry that tells the story of the most chaotic phase of your life. From making a life changing decision entirely on your own, continuing to move forward in spite of feeling lost and filled with self-doubt, to eventually finding peace in the unknown.

Although the collection is told through the perspective of a twenty-something-year-old, any person of any age going through a period of change in their life will find a story to relate to.

“maybe
what i’m actually afraid of
are the things i can do
if i allow myself
to really try”
