this may also help other people around the early 20's,it sure as fuck is true
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.
