had to really get off my ass to start writing again. After school and motto of "with professional life comes greater laziness" inspiration was lost out to me.! Which got me thinking: how do things turn out for you once you turn 25. Yes yes, the silver age when you have to tell yourself that everything comes with a silver lining ;)
25 - the age at which people say everything is gonna go downhill from here ! Yeah buddy ;)! I seriously wonder now at the truth behind these words. When I tell people at my office that I am a old 2* year old they look at me with a look "Are you serious"!. Of course the people i talk about here are the 40-50 year old's!. The 20 year old ones tell me themselves that yeah you are a senior citizen ;) Do you see the perspective change! Ahh the 20 year old's.. When will they grow up :P!
But going back on the main topic: After 25 what meaning does life really hold for you? The most common symptoms for some of the normal average folks like me include:
- Am I really where I want to be? I have to achieve so much more but but but I am no where close to getting it. For most of us, we are at that stage of our career where we are given "some" responsibilities but need so much more. And getting there seems to be a long way off!
- In a hurry to get settled: OMG! Everybody around me is getting married :-O or having kids! FB and Parental pressure put together can really make you want to get settled soon even if you don't want to!
These are the main highlights. Of course you feel all this when you are kind of in the middle and do not know what to expect next! Well, for now I'd say it's a kickass time to rediscover yourself and start with something that really interests you in case you haven't already! As they say " live life QUEEN size" ;)
Happy to read you again =)
ReplyDeleteReading your post, I remember a poem wrote by one of my favorites poet, Mario Benedetti.
Syndrome
I’ve still got almost all my teeth
almost all my hair and only a few cavities
I can make and unmake love
climb stairs two at a time
and run forty meters behind a bus
what I mean is that I shouldn’t feel old
but the awful problem is that until now
I’ve taken all this for granted.
A big hug from Chile!
