Maybe we all r going through this "Being Twenty-Something".
They call it the "Quarter-life Crisis." It is when you stop going along
with the crowd and start realizing that there are many things about
yourself that you didn't know and may not like. You start feeling
insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two, but then get
scared because you barely know where you are now.
You start realizing that people are selfish and that, maybe, those
friends that you thought you were so close to aren't exactly the
greatest people you have ever met, and the people you have lost touch
with are some of the most important ones. What you don't recognize is
that they are realizing that too, and aren't really cold, catty, mean or
insincere, but that they are as confused as you.
You look at your job... and it is not even close to what you thought you
would be doing, or maybe you are looking for a job and realizing that
you are going to have to start at the bottom and that scares you. Your
opinions have gotten stronger. You see what others are doing and find
yourself judging more than usual because suddenly you realize that you
have certain boundaries in your life and are constantly adding things to
your list of what is acceptable and what isn't.
One minute, you are insecure and then the next, secure. You laugh and
cry with the greatest force of your life. You feel alone and scared and
confused. Suddenly, change is the enemy and you try and cling on to the
past with dear life, but soon realize that the past is drifting further
and further away, and there is nothing to do but stay where you are or
move forward. You get your heart broken and wonder how someone you loved
could do such damage to you. Or you lie in bed and wonder why you can't
meet anyone decent enough that you want to get to know better. Or maybe
you love someone but love someone else too and cannot figure out why you
are doing this because you know that you aren't a bad person. One night
stands and random hook ups start to look cheap. Getting wasted and
acting like an idiot starts to look pathetic.
You go through the same emotions and questions over and over, and talk
with your friends about the same topics because you cannot seem to make
a decision. You worry about loans, money, the future and making a life
for yourself... and while winning the race would be great, right now
you'd just like to be a contender!
What you may not realize is that everyone reading this relates to it. We
are in our best of times and our worst of times, trying as hard as we
can to figure this whole thing out. Send this to your twenty something
friends.... maybe it will help someone feel like they aren't alone in
their state of confusion..... GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF US |
