Being a twenty something...
Life is most complicated when you are in your twenties.Whoever said teenage years were difficult obviously didnt live through his twenties.
It is when you are in your twenties when you realize who your best friends are. It is actually when you are in your twenties when you realize the meaning of a best friend. And it is when you are in your twenties when your best friend lives half way across the globe.
When your heart was broken during your teens, it hurt but you knew that in time you would be fine and in time you would meet someone else. But when your heart is broken during your twenties you are baffled, cos this was not supposed to happen. This was not how you planned things. When you were in your twenties you were supposed to have met 'the one'. Now suddenly theres noone even close to that in your life and having to go through the whole tirade of meeting someone new, dating and gettin to know each other is exhausting to even think about.
You worked your entire 20 odd years in your life to get your dream job. You chose the subjects you needed to study and you burnt the midnight oil and went through the nightmarish time of exams during school and college, just to ensure that you landed that perfect job. And you realize that your job is not even close to what you dreamt about and now its too late to change anything.
It is in your twenties when existential agnst become a part of everyday parlance. It is in your twenties when you face your biggest fears. It is in your twenties when you have to battle lonliness.It is in your twenties that you hear someone say 'Life is unfair' and it cuts like a knife through you. It is in our twenties when you know that everyone considers you to be a grown up but it scares the shit outta you cos you dont feel grown up at all, like you have been thrown into this world of adults way before you were even remotely ready for it.
But for some strange reason we all still seem to hold on to our twenties dreading that day when you turn thirty.All this being said you'll can be rest assured that I'll be kicking and screaming when I turn thirty, which by the way is in the distant future or so I like to think!!!

I know you said all this in great sincerity and seriousness, and I fully identify with and agree with your thoughts, but for some reason this post made me G-R-I-N broadly :D
Commiseration? Sympathy? Empathy? Naaaah... perhaps it is just that I know your real age and I think you're too young to be having this particular mid-mid-life crisis! Psssst... you know my age is... my age is... well, you know it.
erm...sorry for the intrusion but I couldnt help marvelling at the truth reflected in this post.nice post!!
@phoenix: Thanks. Glad you could relate to it. Makes me realize that I'm not alone
@Prashanth: Oh, the things you kids these days say!! Dont you have some homework to finsh. Run along now.
*G-R-I-N-S even more broadly*
