Yet life moves forward, regardless of our feelings. Scary.

They call it the "Quarter-life Crisis." You may find yourself straying from the crowd more than any other time in your life. You start realizing that there are a lot of 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 some 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 do not realize is that some of the ones you have given up on are realizing that too and that most of them are not really cold or catty or mean or insincere, but that they are as confused as you are.

You look at your job. It may not even be close to what you thought you would be doing, or maybe you are looking for one and realizing that you are going to have to start at the bottom and are scared.

You miss the comforts of college, of groups, of socializing with the same people on a constant basis. But you start to realize that while some of them are great friends, others weren't so special after all.

You are beginning to understand yourself and what you want and do not want.

Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what others are doing and find yourself judging a bit more than usual because suddenly you realize that you have certain boundaries in your life and add things to your list of what is acceptable and what is not.

You are insecure and then secure.

You laugh and cry with the greatest force of your life.

Sometimes you feel great and invincible, and other times 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 maybe you lay in bed and wonder why you can't meet anyone decent enough to get to know better. You love someone but maybe love someone else too and cannot figure out why you are doing this because you are not a bad person. One night stands and random hook ups start to look cheap, and getting wasted and acting like an idiot starts to look pathetic. Maybe it seems like almost everyone you know is getting married, and maybe you really love someone too, but you just aren't sure if you're ready to commit for the rest of your life yet.

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 and money and the future and making a life for yourself. 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. Send this to your twenty-something friends...maybe it will help someone feel like they are not alone in their state of confusion.

Once you hit 20, I swear time speeds up x2 and everything becomes a blur. I don't even remember being 20. Never thought I'm old until now.

I'm assuming it gets worse from here, make it stop, I miss being youthful

[tightteeshirt]

fuuuuuuuuukkkkk

Cuz millennials put all their brain power into how many followers and imaginary likes they have on social media. Most 20 something years olds these days still have the mentality of children thinking they’ve got all the time in the world to waste. So much cringe.

[RollingStones]

Thread is suicide fuel (srs)

[meep316]

[TinySquats]

[CrookedDink]

Tick tock... The Reaper is coming. Make the most of your life while you still can.

[batmanman]

Life got way better at 24

[BohemianSlav]

Haha i'm only 17!

Lmao. Dude is 32 now, prolly has a wife and kids and most likely couldn't even remember ever posting this (but then again he is a miscer and red while at it).

It's messed up how fast time flies. Before I know it my twenties will be gone and somebody that's in elementary school now will be laughing at my age in another 10 year bump.

This hit me in the feels...

Hopefully I am atleast 275 10%bf all natty brah by then.

People always say that the 20s are the time for you to experiment, go travelling, go partying, **** around, buy stupid chit that you cant really afford on credit and all the rest.

But I completely disagree.

IMO your 20s will set the financial/lifestyle blueprint for the rest of your life.

I've just turned 26 and my plan is to smash the living chit out of my 20s career/finance wise, so when I have kids in my early 30s I can massively take my foot off the pedal and enjoy spending my time with them. Pretty much entering early retirement.

When you are in your 20s you are in the most alert sense of mind, you dont get tired, you can work long hours, youre motivated, youre awake etc etc.. In 30s-40s everyone seems to just half arse ****.

[.aeterna]

Strong bump. Found my post from 4/12/2013 when I was 25. I'm 30 now

strong join date. what is your life like now versus back then?

pls respond

Life has changed a ton but some things have stayed the same. One thing I learned is that the "quarter-life crisis" is simply a process of you coming to grips with reality.

[pellekuling]

posting in here for all the future kids who will browse misc in 15 years. I wonder if the misc will still be here and what im doin in 15 years. Hopefully a chad bilionaire
i am 21 now and was born in 96, future kids who are reading this post

Agree, plan on making my 20s the hardest working years of my life and being selfish with my time in the sense its conducive to my own personal goals.

Strong thread revival. Eerie compelling none the less.

I wonder if jonnyb is a ceo 10k/day or struggling with alimony payments and substance abuse.

[GravityLee]
