Contender

Somebody I know and somebody who is very close to my heart wrote this. I could not believe my eyes when I read it. It was as if I had written it myself. It was a much much bigger paragraph and I agree with 90% of it. These are the statements I could relate to most. Isn’t it amazing that 2 different people feel almost exactly the same thing? 2 people in different places, at different phases in life, having different lifestyles…

They call it the “Quarter-Life Crisis.” It is when I stop going along with the crowd and start realizing that there are many things about me that I didn’t know and may not like. I start feeling insecure and wonder where I will be in a year or two, but then get scared because I barely know where I m now.

I laugh and cry with the greatest force of my life. I feel alone and scared and confused. Suddenly, change is the enemy and I 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 I’m or move forward.

I worry about loans, money, and the future and making a life for myself…and while winning the race would be great, right now i’d just like to be a contender!

What I just realize is that everyone reading this relates to it or related to it once. We are in our best of times and worst of times, trying as hard as we can to figure this whole thing out.

I have asked this person to start blogging on a regular basis. His blog would be very very interesting to read, don’t you agree?
