Weird thoughts and happenings in my life..Â
Job search, Life, Discovering yourself..
These all sound exciting until you do them. For example, job hunting could be exciting to find where your niche is, where you want to work etc, but then you get to the search, rejections, b.s requirements, entry levels that require 10 yrs experience, etc. Like what are you supposed to do when you just got out of school? But then there is a complaint about not enough workers in x field? Makes no sense. Â
Discovering yourself is a fun process that everyone should do, but what people fail to say is that it also involves confronting a lot of things that you have probably ignored. “Facing your demons”, but this is not an RPG and you do not get cool weapons or clothes and it is honestly one of the hardest things. Who wants to realize that you haven’t been taking care of yourself for most of your life, so you can get by or that some of the people you trusted in your life are actually toxic or further still that you knew that but just wanted to get to the other side of the situation? And let’s not get started on your previous misconceptions about yourself. And you somehow have to do the work to forgive yourself. This is all possible, but it is just a lot.
Basically, people say your twenties are the best years if your life, but honestly in many ways you are just beginning your life and no one gives you a manual or class. It can be overwhelming and hard, but it can still be an amazing time! Anyway, if you are having a tough day in your twenties, you are doing well sweetie! (At least, that is what I tell myself in the mirror).
