BEING IN TWENTIES - SOMETHING









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.












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're 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 every one 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.



This is called as "Quarter-life
Crisis."
