About Being in Mid-Twenties.

I'm a hypocrite.

Since I was younger, I'd been aware that I was being programmed to want plan A (college BA), plan B (marriage), and plan C (house/kids). The full on American Dream by the time your 30. And I was raised by young parents who'd made sacrifices, so the pressures of completing these steps always lingers in the air. How unfortunate that my unconventional spirit caused me to drop out of the "program" early if not prolong it.

If you're anything like me in your mid-twenties, then sometimes you browse fb photos of your friends in moments of themselves in steps A, B, and/or C. How could it not be impossible to consider whether or not you're falling behind on goals and in ‪#‎LIFE‬.

Anyway, I’m a hypocrite because I scold programmed pressures and then behind closed doors I get way too bent out of shape for not having my degree yet. And I share this about myself because I'm pretty certain I'm not the only one in angst over doing TONS all the time and hardly reaping any benefits. Not only is it the struggles of wanting instant gratification, but also the struggles of this damn quarter life fucking crisis lol.

The best thing to do, is to say to all the doubts and fears that come with your age is just BRING IT BITCH. And to remember that the only reason your road is different from others is NOT because its the wrong or failing one, but because it has YOUR name on it. ;)

A love transition.

I think the hardest part of loving you was knowing you were never going to stay. You never actually wanted to stick around and I felt it, but I loved you anyway. I loved you when you blamed me, and loved you when you said you were scared of me. I loved you though you’d leave in the night, and loved you even more when you’d call to come back. I’m not angry that you left for good this time. I’m angry that I knew it all along, and loved you anyway.

And now I’m on my own with not a whole lot of energy to direct toward finding new love. I haven’t decided if it’s a good thing or bad thing, but in the mean time I’m getting by taking care of things. It’s actually feeling pretty nice...

Getting stuff done is nice. Picking up the pieces of me I thought I’d lost, is really nice.

How to Choose People

Let’s talk ideas because I have this theory.

There are three reasons why people want to be in a relationship with you or be around you (your friend). These things are, the idea of you, the knowledge that he/she could gain something from you, or they genuinely like/love you for you. Maybe it’s 1/3, 2/3, or all three at the same time that you encounter but based on my personal experience, these are the significant reasons why people have wanted me in their life.

If these reasons are true, then the challenge ISN’T to train yourself to avoid those who only like the idea of you, or want to gain something from you/use you. Sounds crazy right? But it’s not though because you really CAN’T avoid these types of people, because you CANT control other people’s actions. And a lot of times you can't decipher someone's intentions right away. So taking this “avoid certain people” approach will leave you forever paranoid about other people. Plus, even you yourself, is responsible for making or having made decisions to keep people in your life because of one if not all three of these reasons.

So, the wisest thing to do is to focus instead on being aware of why YOU personally want someone in your life. Don't question others, question yourself instead. Think about the people your welcoming into your life right now. Who are you spending time with? Do you want them in your life because you want to gain something from them? Do you like the idea of them? Do you genuinely like/love them? Take control of why you’re choosing people. If you welcome people into your life because you like/love who they are, flaws and all, you’ll feel most fulfilled. Choose friends and lovers who YOU accept completely for who they are, and the boomerang of the universe will start sending you people who want you in their life because they like/love you for who YOU are.
