Being in your twenties...
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, 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 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 lie in bed and
wonder why you cannot meet anyone decent enough that
you want to get to know better. Or maybe you love
someone
but love someone else as well and cannot figure out why you're doing this
because you know you aren't a bad person.
You want to settle down for good because
all of a sudden that becomes top priority.
Getting wasted and acting like an idiot starts to look pathetic.
You begin to think that a partner for life is better than a hundred in the shack and for once
you would not mind standing tall for that special someone.
You go through the same emotions and
questions over
and over, and talk to 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 are just a contender!
What you may not realize is that everyone
reading this
relates to it. We are in the best of times and our
worst of times, trying hard as we can to figure this
whole thing
out.
We call it the "Quarter-life Crisis."
