BEING IN TWENTIES - SOMETHING

I received an interesting email today. read on to have a look at it yourself.

what i read struck a cord. however the pecular thing is that many of the points mentioned in the email fit me a few yesrs back. so what is wrong in that you ask me? well i just turned 21years this year. so i was technically experiencing my "quater-life crisis" in my teens. speaks volumes about the kind of person i am.

however i would like to think that instead this explains the kind of difficulties i haved in relating to the other kids my age. i have always been at a loss as to why i could never understand the joys they seemed to get from the most mindless things, how they could never give a damm about their future, how they would be so superficial yet happy and many other things.....

looks like i have been ahead of my age. so i then go on to ask, is that a good thing or a bad thing? or is even asking this making me speak like a "twenty-something"? there are questions, and there are question. when does this questioning ever end? who has the answers? who has the authority to ask?

i personally believe that the moment we stop questioning and being satisfied with what we have we would have set ourselves for stagnation in life in every manner and every field. i strongly believe in this, where ever we may be and however old we may be...

anyways all this is just my point of view.. read on to see what you think....



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'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.

We call it the "Quarter-life Crisis."

FATE DETERMINES WHO COMES INTO OUR LIVES.....HEART DETERMINES WHO STAYS
