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 you
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........
Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has
genius, power and magic in it." -
