20 Tragically Unexpected Truths You Learn In Your Twenties

14. Health Can Deteriorate Quickly

Most of us expect to live long and fruitful lives. Unfortunately though, illness happens and your health is never guaranteed. As you reach your twenties, you're more likely to know someone who has suffered at the hands of a terrible illness far too soon, and may have even lost friends to one. Losing certain older family members is also far more likely as you move deeper into your twenties - a sad fact of life. Even menial health problems arise more as you reach adulthood; your teeth are already starting to deteriorate a little and you probably get the odd inexplicable pains, too. With adulthood also comes more pressure, and your mental well-being is almost certain to be affected by this at some point in your twenties.
