.They call it the "Quarter-life Crisis." 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 isacceptable and what isn't. One minute you are insecure and then the next secure. You laugh and cry with the greatest force of yourlife. 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 yourfriends 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 everyone 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. I wish I was already 21.dannggggggggggggggggggggg

Wow. Is this an original piece? Interesting reading.
Don't worry. Those "indecisions" probably never go away. New ones come along!

So it IS your original piece. It is so good. This is NOT crap. There's plenty of CRAP here at Sajha that qualifies for, well, crap. And this is not it. Far from it. This is really good.
How OLD am I? I am o-o-o-ld! Check out my homepage. You will get an idea....

Forunately these are issues of not only young people. By the time you reach 50-55 you will wonder why you ever worried about "little things". By then you will begin to wonder how you wasted so many years and why you did not allow yourself to enjoy more. By then you will begin to worry more about your future:, relationships, if you have enough money to retire, why you chose the career you followed, losing friends to illness and death, anticipating your own, suspicion about being cheated, feeling that time is running out, regrets about all sort of things. Few people live their life without worry. You have to trust in God and do your best every day. That is what it is all about.

That was nice reading! I remember feeling that way at a similar point in my life. I began high school in Nepal, but ended up finishing it here in the States. There was a bit of a culture shock, so it added to the tribulations of being a teenager and later in college. I am sure a lot of people can find some way to relate to this piece.
