i read this today and wanted to post cuz it's sooo fucking true!
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 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 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 out this whole
thing.
Send this to your twenty-something friends...maybe it will
help someone feel like they aren't the only ones in this
state of confusion....
well the new year is in and the old one is hopefully long forgotten...
lots going on, just got back from orlando tues night had a trade show- lots of fun, got to see some people I haven't seen in 2 years and the trip ended up being well worth it...
what can i say, i don't have much to say....
new years day was spent in the ER-
you gotta love stupid drunk people... known to fuck up a good time all the time! some people (ahem) had definitely MORE fun than me, (and apparently have the scars to prove it!!!)
hope everyone is great- the SG's are looking great.
i've got new pictures coming up- and i can't wait to post!
