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 a
lot of 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 do not realize is that they are realizing that too and are
not really cold or catty or mean or insincere, but that they are
as confused as you.
You look at your job. It is not even close to what you thought
you would be doing or maybe you are looking for one and
realizing that you are going to have to start at the bottom and
are scared. You miss the comforts of college, of groups, of
socializing with the same people on a constant basis. But then
you realize that maybe they weren't so great after all.
You are beginning to understand yourself and what you want and
do not want. Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what
others are doing and find yourself judging a bit more than usual
because suddenly you realize that you have certain boundaries in
your life and add things to your list of what is acceptable and
what is not. You are insecure and then 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 lay in bed and wonder why you can't
meet anyone decent enough to get to know better. You love
someone but maybe you can love someone else too and cannot
figure out why you are doing this because you are not a bad
person. One night stands and random hook ups start to look cheap
and 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 and money and 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.
