Hi,My name is ABC and I am a Twenty something!
Hi,My name is XYZ and I am a Twenty something!
..............MNL........................etc... ......................
Hello Fellow 'Tweens', today we all have gathered here,so that we know that we are not alone, and this torment can be faced and fought together.We can survive this,and come alive out of it. Its just a phase...and if you are brave...you'll be fine :)
Yeah...I wish somebody took this as seriously as Alcoholism or Drug addiction,we would have actually had the ever so needed Rehabs for the Twenty something crimeless sufferers.
Its fine till 21-22,you are happy( and if you are lucky,you won't know that you are gay),the leaves are green, the flowers smell good,you have no major charges against the phenomenon of sunrise-sunset.
BUT..my dear friend,if you have dared to cross the 22,you are up for a belt-less roller-coaster ride of your life!
The Earth rotates at a higher or lower speed,definitely not the usual,you are seriously sickened by the 'why me' widespread disease.You are maintaining a perfect balance between 'Mr. know it all' and 'yet so messed up' stage,its quite a task I tell you. You have been ditched at least once, ok fine! YOU dumped him/her...if at all that boosts your timid ego,go for it.You might have a job,or maybe you are looking for one,but your are certainly not happy,you are not allowed to be happy.Dude...you are in your twenties...its almost against the law to be happy.
You are now stuck up between two groups of friends.
Group 1.
Till yesterday,they were playing cricket with you in your self-acclaimed ground like park.You were roaming around together in your scratched and cracked car all over the city with the music loud enough to traumatize
not just your,but the whole universe's ear drums,and your playlist...well lets not even go there.
NOW,suddenly they hit some kind of jackpot and have landed in some place in 'Amrica' or 'Caneda' or some foreign land to be precise.Now your 'daaru' and 'sutta' has become boozing and fagging for them.
Your conversation starters have changed from 'kya haal hai launde' to 'ssup dude'.While you are struggling to maintain the one single chance at relationship that you have,they supposedly are too busy to even remember names!
Group 2
Married/Engaged!
They have suddenly chosen to run on a completely different tangent of life altogether.Apparently you seem all happy for them,but inside you are still wondering if they are more sorted than you ,or are they more screwed??Neverthless it is a mandate to curse them for ruining the singledom for everyone in the circle.
YOU...are too cool to be a part of either of the groups.So you have created a group of your own.
Your life revolves around 3 C's
Cribbing
Consoling
Confusion
You are doing your own thing,you are experimenting,exploring...and if I may say so...Living.
Don't try to push or fast-forward anything,it would be as nugatory as honking in the middle of a traffic jam,when the signal is red.
Right now it seems..messed up,crazy,Insane.
Einstein defined insanity as doing the same thing again and again..and expecting different results.
So my dear friend ...do a quick Insanity check...if you are atleast inventing a new method of doing it the wrong way everytime you experiment......then I guess,you are doing it RIGHT.
And as far as being in the twenties goes.....live it!...it won't last.
( P.S - obviously the 'you' here is 'I',but I am hoping its more of a 'we')
Peace!
