20 Fears Girls Have In Their 20s That Make Life An Emotional Roller Coaster

by Alexa Mellardo

Most of us hope we'll be destined for greatness.

It's a deep, longing desire we hold close to heart, and we try to do everything in our power to set it as a life goal.

We want to make our mark on this crazy life... something that screams we were here, loud and clear.

We only have one shot, so why not strive for the best in everything we do?

Well, because when it comes down to it, we're scared AF. And fear has the potential to hold us back from greatness.

So many of us fear the unknown. For example, you may remain in a relationship you're not into anymore simply because you're scared of taking that leap of faith and cutting the cord.

You know what you have, and you don't know what you're going to get. So, you settle.

Settling for anything less than what you have to offer — whether it involves your career or your love life — only sets you up for a lonely life.

Here are 20 fears girls have in their 20s that make life a crazy, emotional roller coaster ride.

1. Never meeting your soulmate.

2. Falling for the wrong guy and getting your heart broken.

3. Settling for someone who you love, but are not IN love with.

8. Losing loved ones, and being forced to accept the reality that your parents and grandparents won't be around forever.

Learning to conquer any of the fears you have will set you up for greatness.

Never allow fear to be the boss of you: It's up to YOU to take control of your fears, and tell them to go where the sun don't shine.
