When you're 17, people ask you,
"In which university do you want to study?"
"What major do you want to take?"
Then when you're 22, they ask you,
"What's next?"
"What are you going to do?"
"What's your job now?"
Suddenly, when your about 25, the questions become,
"When are you getting married?"
"When are you opening your own business?"
"When are you going to have kids?"
Our society attaches these ideas to time and age and tries to put deadlines on when we should accomplish them. Then compare us with our friends, the daughter of their friends, or someone's daughter on Youtube, creating the image that life is a race.
"Whoops, you are left behind, your pace is too slow, whoops, wrong turn, you SHOULD have been at this location now why do you stop? keep going, run!"
But reality is..
The point of when you should accomplish anything in your life doesn't exist on the maps.
There is nit even a map LOL. We are just thrown away to this odd place called life, and we have to find our own way, meaning, and purpose.
So go ahead and run, jog, walk, make a U-turn, even stop and reiterate.
Goals and achievements are great things, but the path we take to get where we are is more important than where we want to end up in life.
Especially more important than where our friends are in their lives.
Please don't spend your twenties overthinking things you won't know the answer to until you try them.
And don't waste your time being stressed by the pressure to live up to the cliché that you "must" find yourself in you twenties.
Make every stage of your life an attempt to live your life to the fullest, and you will be sure to find yourself in the process because you are where you are supposed to be.
