Quarter Life Crisis is Real

Life must be so great and amazing when you turn 20. Having a boyfriend, going to college and thinking what kind of outfit you are gonna wear every day, or as simple as you have the freedom to go at night. At least, that was on my thought back then when I was younger before 20 was coming.

I never thought that being 20s means I am becoming way too emotional rather to when I was younger. I may have boyfriend at this age and flexing it to my family without any worries, or chill out with the buddies in every aesthetic cafe in town. But what's bad is those are my ways to escape from reality.

I may like the happiest individual when the day comes. But it doesn't stay longer. I may release so damn much liters of tears at night. Because nobody told me, even my teacher doesn't teach me this at school that the responsibility that I have when I turn 20 is so heavy.

Glad if you raise in a wealthy and healthy family. But for those who don't, it is like living in hell, but still breathing. Pay for your own bills, sometimes other's too ((sandwich gen must be relate to this)), watching the people around you growing so well. Going to the best university in town, or traveling the world. While you are feeling just stuck on a treadmill, moving to something that is endless, boring, and unsure.

But some say that this is how the 20s feel like. Everything in the world feels like against you. It prevents you from growing better and happy. But that is the actual point. This era is on its way to shape you to be stronger than before. It teaches you that it is okay to slow down, take a deep breath, and escape from this hectic world.

It may sounds old and cringe but "it is okay to not be okay" is so true. Let's think about our essence as human beings. Time unconsciously tells us that to be a qualified person, it's not about who reach the finish line first, but it's about who is survive in a hard time and take every lesson in every mistake and failure we did.

You don't need to look at other's achievments and feel insecure about it. You just need to look back to the hard times you have passed and say "It will pass" because this is how world is running. This world is not a race. It is kind of a marathon. No matter how long you will reach the end, you still need to be proud and get your own trophy. It is your life, no matter how hard this era of this age is ruining you, remember that you are the best for your own self and you always do great.

Sometimes, all you need to do is escape. Deactivate your social media and back to reality. Strolling the town a night with your best buddy or just do it by yourself and you will realise how many things you have wasted just to stay insecure rather than choosing to spreadyour wings wider. Set your happiness from something small and simple. This age may get you to set the happiness high but you forget that something big starts from the little first.

Take time to hug yourself and say "You are going to pass it and get the best of you". Go search for your own happiness and get that beautiful youth. Do all failures, take as much lessons as you can, and be as great as you can. Again, do it to yourself not to beat anyone.

Break a leg and cheers!
