In Twenties not so early not so Late!


This post is not directly related to "Drop a Dream", but still I find it good enough to post it here.
These are surely not my words but very meaningful!

They call it the "Quarter-Life Crisis." It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realizing that there are many things about yourself that you didn't know and may not like. 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 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 they are realizing that too, and aren't really cold, nasty, mean, or insincere but that they are as confused as you.

You look at your job and it is not even close to what you thought you would be doing, or maybe you are looking for a job and realizing that you are going to have to start at the bottom and that scares you. Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what others are doing and find yourself judging more than usual because suddenly you realize that you have certain boundaries in your life and are constantly adding things to your list of what is acceptable and what isn't. One minute, you are insecure and then the next, secure.

You laugh and cry with the greatest force of your life. You feel alone and scared and confused. Suddenly, change is the enemy and you try and cling on to the past with dear life, but soon realize that the past is drifting further and further away, and there is nothing to do but stay where you are or move forward.

You get your heart broken and wonder how someone you loved could do such damage to you. Or you lay 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 are doing this because you know that you aren't a bad person.

One night stands and random hookups 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, and 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.

What you may not realize is that everyone reading this relates to it. We are in our best of times and worst of times, trying as hard as we can to figure this whole thing out. Talk to twenty something friends, maybe it will help them sit down for a while, take a deep breath and ponder for a while!!!

Morning Walk

Lot of things that go unnoticed in our daily lives!
But to me those are the things most noticed... I do not care what gifts I get what places I visit and what good food I eat. I do care about what nature has in store for me, what I have in store for myself and what good can I get out of all that happens to me in every second of my life. So many books that read about a fine living, perfect life, true happiness and so on so forth.
Do we really need to read books and practice happiness?
I'am sorry but if that's the case then its indeed a serious issue. Happiness is always surrounding us just like 'Oxygen' does. Its actually upto us how we perceive it. Beauty is in enjoying every moment of our life as OUR OWN GIFT TO OURSELVES.
Not always that we are in a stable state of mind but have we ever questioned ourselves as to why that Unstable state appear before us?

I questioned myself about all my worries and all my downs. To my surprise there was simply nothing for which I should be upset about.

Love a guy but he doesn't - Many more to love me and respect my individuality. If one doesn't cherish my presence can I be happy with him ever? No. Then why bother!
Lost someone dear - There are just 2 ways to it. Either we upset our dear ones by going away from them for that eternal peace or they leave us and we be sad. One way it has to happen someday. So why loose ourselves and our control over ourselves.
Lost a game a match a bet a quiz - Is that really the end of life? Nothing else that matteres?

And so many more such worries that we come across. One word 'Relax' Life ain't thisbad. All we need is prioritising the things that really matter in the right order.
Find things that inspire you and pursue them, even if there’s no money in it. Ultimately its our inner peace and our passions that we will be following. Let not others affect us so much.

I also prefer A lovely morning walk to relieve my senses and my worries.
Fortunately I have been blessed with a beautiful locality and amazing weather. One of my favourite timees of the day is my morning walk. The birds are chirping, the drizzle to sprinkle our face, the trees and the mud is wet and the cool breeze. Blissful indeed!
The air is fresh and everything is spectacular.

A view today from my Balcony. This inspired me to just step out of the house.
As it is said everything comes with an inspiration.
The balcony view inspired me to go for a morning walk. The fallen flowers on the road side further inspired me to put them on paper. A simple crayon drawing I did after the walk was over.

These I think are the little tidbits in life to keep us going to keep us happy and smiling always :)
To all have a great great Month start ;) Live life without a frown and cherish every second by making it beautiful for youself :D
