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 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 they are realizing that too, and aren`t really cold, catty, 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
your 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 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
are 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!
what you may not realize is that everyone reading this relates to
it. we are in our best of times and our worst of times, trying as hard
as we can to figure this whole thing out.

The Art of Being Single....
The Art of Contentment. For most
of us, being single will be more of a phase than a final destination.
This is the best place to practice the art of contentment. Someday, I'm
sure most of us will fall in love and get married but the thing is,
love will always be tested. Someone more handsome, beautiful, more
charming, richer, funnier, sweeter would come along. If you have not
practiced the art of contentment as a single person, chances are you
would be tempted to want that and not cherish your chosen one.
Practicing the art of contentment as a single person means that you
take what life gives you. Good or bad, you're willing to see it
through. This means, you don't walk away every time things get tough
because it builds in you patience, perseverance, understanding and a
hundred different virtues that people in a hurry will never have. Being
single means you would find how it feels to be alone thus, allowing you
to cherish every moment you spend with your chosen one. The art of
contentment means you wouldn't mind if life had to make you wait for so
long to find the love of your life, because you know that the waiting
would only make the finding much sweeter.
A Time to Know
Yourself Better. Being single is a time in your life when you can get
to know yourself better. You can pursue different interest and passions
without having to ask another person's approval. It is a phase when you
can keep focus on other things, discover your potentials and talents,
and see yourself become more than what you expect to be. Allow yourself
to surprise you. Stop wasting precious energy trying to figure out why
you're still romantically unattached. It's all in the mind. Take the
time to go see your friends, spend time with your family, do charity
work and you will realize that you are not, and never for one moment,
was alone. Try to get to know yourself first before you try to get to
know other people. To be truly loved means to be known and accepted for
who you are. How do you expect other people to know you and to love
you, when you don't know who and what you really are?
A Choice
Between Good and Best. Sometimes the dilemmas we face are not between
what is absolutely bad and absolutely good. Sometimes, it's between
good and best. Treat this stage of your life as a phase to evaluate who
is good for you and who is best for you. Sometimes, you won't hear
music, or feel magic to know who's best for you. The heart just knows
and it doesn't need any romantically charged scenario to decide on the
matter. Trust in your heart, and trust that time will eventually lead
you to, not to the perfect partner, but to the most suitable partner
for you. Being single is a phase of life that we need to be thankful
for, because being single means our hearts have yet to choose the best
one for us.
Take your time, the world will wait. Being married
doesn't guarantee that it will make your life happy. It doesn't
guarantee anything at all. Sometimes, it only brings two miserable
people together only to make their life even more miserable. Without
the right intention, the emotional maturity, financial security and of
course, unwavering love, you're better off unattached.
Living
Life. Don't put your life on hold for Mr. and Mrs. Right but don't let
it waste away with Mr.or Mrs. Wrong. Life is about things that you do
and happen to you everyday. It's not about the things that could have
happened but never did, or things that you think would happen in the
future. Live life now. Live it to the fullest and stop beating yourself
up, trying to be perfect on a Saturday night date. Allow life to
surprise you with it's most wonderful blessings. | | |
