I focus on later adolescence through early adulthood, roughly, ages 18 to 35. This stretch of life is full of transitions. While exciting, it can be harder than expected.

The lotus flower is a powerful symbol of faith, endurance, and resourcefulness. They are revered because these delicate and beautiful plants grow deep in the murky swamp.
