Being in Twenties!!

It was on my bus journey back from ahmedabad to pune that my mind started thinking on the following lines. Maybe it was just sheer boredom of watching "DHOL" movie for upteenth time or just the rain pouring down washing away everything in its path.

It is in the twenties that you stop going along with the crowd. 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 maybe they are as confused as you.

You see what others are doing and find yourself judging more than usual because suddenly you realize thatyou have certain boundaries in your life which are constantly stretching due to addition of things to your list of what is acceptable

You feel alone and scared and confused. Suddenly, change is the enemy

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 your friends 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!

Maybe this relates to every one reading this. (definitely relates to me)
We are in our best of times and our worst of times, trying as hard as we can to figure this whole thing out.
But then isnt that the main aim of any puzzle - To see if you can figure it out?
