Quarter-Life Crisis

It’s this stage in life where no one was being warned about. You were shaped into this standard of ‘go to school-graduate-find a job-be successful’ by the people eyeing on you. If you went outside of the box, the world will make you feel that you’re doomed forever.

In reality, a lot goes in between of those stages of career and profession growth as well as your growth in all aspects. Say for example at work, you’re not just expected to earn good money, but you are also required to maintain good reputation, meet or exceed your manager’s expectations, and professionalism towards your clients and colleagues. In the family, you will be expected to balance your time for them. For the friends, you don’t want to miss any catch-ups and gatherings to keep your bond strong. When it comes to love and relationships, there’s that pressure of taking it to the next level-marriage.

Making a shift on your choices and beliefs about anything can be stressful and sometimes, heart-breaking. You have no choice but to do it because it’s for your own growth and for those very important ones to make way into your life. You will be bent, tested, and crushed. It’s no easy feat and only the strongest and the fearless survives.

At this time in your life you may experience betrayal, dishonesty, competition, security at work, get fired from work, pain from chasing your dreams, pressure of having it all figured out, getting that bread for your loved ones and so on.

Quarter-life crisis is something that shouldn’t be taken lightly of. It can get you on you down your knees and makes you question about your life choices. At this stage, you will discover the best and the worst of people, prioritize yourself above what other people will think, brave the uncertainties, and so on that this world requires for you to exist. It’s too much to take with only little resources for a shift of the old life you have towards the life you wish to be in the future. And it’s too much to bear that you want to take your own life. It’s a true story and it’s no joke. If you’ve experienced this, you’re not alone. Acknowledge it, accept it, seek help as soon as possible, and believe that you can overcome.

To all the youngsters below 20, don’t freak-out and panic. Enjoy where you are right now and don’t put to much pressure in yourself. Take one day at a time and remember to celebrate even the smallest victories. It takes a lot of time thinking what you want to be in the future. It’s not wrong to aspire for success but remember - success is a journey, not a destination.

I can still remember this day-you left me. You left me with no answers to the question 'why'. I went out with the hopes to find the light to all the darkness of what you did. And where did you go? I couldn't find you. I did everything in my power to look for you. But I guess you just disappeared and ran away from the hurt you felt. I hope you're doing well even if I'm wishing you ill sometimes.. Just wondering if you can still remember this day as much as I can't forget it. I just want you to know that despite everything that you did to me, I still respect you as a person but it doesn't mean the I still trust you.

I’d still pray for you; even if you don’t talk to me and even if you have someone else to hold every single day. I’d still pray for you because that’s the only thing I can do to love you and take care of you even if you’re far away from me.

One thing that scares me the most is to outgrow some of my friends. Those were the people who were a part of me and never, ever thought of losing them. I just want them to be with me along with this journey. However, I realized that having them is not healthy for my well-being. They're not mad but everything of them has changed. Loyalty isn't there anymore and honesty, they'll be waiting for it to use them against me, to destroy me. It pains me to let go of them but it'll be worse if I keep them. This is how you outgrow friends; let go or see yourself low.

He loves me that much that he's thinking about the future with me in it. But I can't understand why I'm freaking out and scared at the same time.

The Dream Follower

The joy of being followed by your dream follower because you have common interests, awesome isn’t it? You get so motivated and inspired to log in everyday, compose quality posts, and interact more! However, you’d be very careful in writing posts because you might trip off and he/she might unfollow in a snap. You’re scared to disappoint him/her. But when likes are freely given, why that’s much more satisfying!

In a modern world, the competition is brutally a tough one. It's not enough to be just who you are, you need to do everything to reach the top. Work hard, enroll post-graduate courses, enhance your talents, and do everything to put your name on the map of the most prominent personalities. However, you cannot put those qualities into good use if can't learn and master the importance of humanity. If you don't give the same respect they give you, they will take it back. If you will treat people like they're uneducated only to uplift your whole being and brag about your wealth, you've already destroyed alliance in less than a minute. If you think you can have what you want because you have all the power that education, wealth, and qualities that has made you invincible, that's nothing to the eyes of those humans you've insulted. Being the most wealthy and educated person doesn't give you the license to abuse anyone. And think about it, when you insult and abuse people, you will never have friends. Stop acting so dominant if you don't want to attend to your own funeral; no friends and families will be there because they don't have anything to say something nice when you were still alive.
