Great Start For the Day

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. 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.
