>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 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 bothers 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 lay 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.

>

>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.

>
