It may sound counterintuitive, but most twentysomethings feel relieved, and even empowered, when someone has the courage to strike up a conversation with the parts of themselves, and the parts of reality, that they are afraid to talk about.

When twentysomethings hear what I have to say, the most common reaction is not “I can’t believe you said that.” It’s “Why didn’t someone tell me all this sooner?”
