Life of Twenties Something !!

A super article i came accross, didnt want to miss it postin on my blog, for my readers and myself. Hope u'll all like it:

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.

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. 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. Send this to your twenty-something
friends... maybe it will help someone feel like they aren't alone in
their state of confusion...

We call it the "Quarter-life Crisis."
