Moving out from your home town, staying away from the comfortable zone, not playing out by the rules of the society we live in, making a change in your life , leaving your people whether your family and childhood friends and trying out something new have always been so risky. It has so many ups and downs that it finally can end up with you having existential crisis. Am I doing right things? Am I making right decisions? Am I trusting my gut right and doing what I want to do or its just the influence of the society and the peer pressure to been able to experience it all makes me do all of that. Having a great job with good paycheck at 25, having a settled lifestyle, having constant friends , meet the love of your life at 23, get married at 25, have kids at 27, travel to atleast 4 exotic foreign places till 30, buy home and mostly be satisfied and happy, how people do this all? I am trying to solve this mystery since very long now and I am not able to crack it. I am still 24 and unsatisfied and didn't tick mark any of those things above or even close to ticking it. It's not like I don't want to but it is not happening to me. I am still looking for a good job, haven't met love of my life, binge watch every single series to consume my loneliness, cry about almost everything now and haven't been to Goa also yet. So basically I am having existential crisis or I am just being 4 out of 7 human beings ? Well I guess we can never know that for sure. People who get figured out everything, 3 cheers for you and who haven't just like me, I hope the only thing we can do is to stop procrastinating and work hard to meet our ends in the present and be hopeful that everything is going to be fine one day and you are normal okay. Age is just a number. Maybe not 30 but 40 is our lucky number? Well I hope so.
Something in life is worth letting go of but you will only know that after you had experienced it before and we can predict the possible outcomes. Like - Arguing with parents or anyone on anything. Or arguments in general. You can't change anyone's opinion in one argument. FOMO. Trying to connect with the ‘friends’ who haven’t been there for you and you lost touch. Sad about getting a dream job but honestly not working for it. Prioritizing your career over EVERYTHING. Go to family functions because you mostly never have that option. Take up a job which you are not passionate about but good money. Seeing other people doing what you wanted to do but couldn’t. Expecting something from anyone just because you think you are closer to them. Something which is happening and we don’t have any power to change like aging, politics, natural calamities, etc. Other people’s opinions on you. It anyways shouldn’t affect you at any point in time. You are not supposed to compete with anyone for...
