It’s worth noting that despite all the “gyaan” and wordly wise, clichéd suggestions freely available and one being aware of them, it becomes highly difficult when one has to implement the same obvious things in their own lives. When a 20 year old something begins to lose the brashness that comes with the age and begins to feel disillusioned, then an alarm bell should ring somewhere.
Why is it that despite knowing that life is short, unpredictable and worth living in the moment, one keeps screwing up the present for a future which never seems to arrive. The future is like that elusive mountain summit, forever in sight but always out of reach. One keeps sacrificing and working hard thinking that now’s the time to do it. Let me struggle now for a better future, but when does that future come – Boards, college, first job, post graduation, good paying job, marriage, kids, kids marriage - when???
One talks about the mid-life crisis but I see a quarter life syndrome creeping in. One begins to feel the heat if by 20 something one doesn’t know what to do with his/her life. Listen to “the sunscreen song” and you’ll know what my take on this is. I think it’s time I stop writing and listen to the above mentioned song and pick up some useful advice.
