The Expectations Of Being In Your Early Twenties.

There are many expectations that fall upon us in our twenties, Whether it is from society, Your family and friends or even expectations you have for yourself because of comparison to the people around you. We compare ourselves to people all around us,even strangers! feeling the pressure of going to university because many of your siblings have been and your friends are going and you don't want to miss any of the experiences.

From 18-20+ these are the crucial years where your friendship will get tested, where everyone you know goes down a separate path and the path will never intersect ever again. So here we are in the twenties where you still have those friends that are not really your friends. Those internet friends that you don't know why you keep because you barely even spoke to them and still don't! The constant need to show people what you're doing, where you are, and who you are with, when really you're should be living in the moment and cherishing the experience.

The Expectation of having a group of friends and going out and having fun. Socialising regularly and trying new things. Getting a good Job. Keeping up with trends when lets be honest every trend goes out and comes back in fashion. Travelling the world with all your friends or even by yourself. Buying a car. Having a dating life. Buying your own place. Have an up to date phone preferably an i phone because god forbid you have an android. Eventually getting married and having children.

Truthfully is the list could go on and on as it really is never ending so that probably means these expectations only get bigger as you age, but it is time to put an end to any expectation you've had from any single person that is not you!

It should not be called an expectation, that word holds too much pressure. Set your goals, attempt your best to achieve them. If you fail it means you tried, never ever stop trying. Try not to compare yourself to people whether you know them or you do not, because it is most likely that they are in the same shoes as you and are good at hiding it. Breathe and pick up some hobbies, slow down to inhale the flowers around you. Do not let anyone make you feel inferior. Make mistakes, Grow from them and adapt. live your life the way you want to, not for anyone else.

The point is, Nobody has it all figured out and that's okay. No one is perfect. The only '' Expectation" you should have, should be a Good one (to yourself and from yourself)
