Dedicated to those in their 20's

This phase of life once always looked so dazzling, so much filled with love and laughter, drop-dead gorgeous, right?

Yet when we look around, we learn nothing but messy people and messier lives, so much confusion, such a chaos. Life earlier seemed so simple but now it's nothing but overflowing laundry bags, pending bills, no time for hobbies...it is lot of work and never enough money. It is Freedom with Responsibilities.

People around you, do different things...best friend's getting married, your ex is happy in love, your close friend is drowning in drugs, few of them are hitting it with success...on the other hand, you are still struggling to get up in time.

This phase of life when you want to do so much, you go through every other day, trying to get better than yesterday and then the feeling struck you don't find this better enough. You start living by yourself, u start to guard the boundaries of deserted wall, among friends you find yourself friendless.

What went wrong, why u became different from everyone else, why would anyone find calmness in confinement..!
“Did I do too much too soon, Did I not do enough, Was there a reason, Why it was never me or Why it was me,  Is this going to be the rest of my life Alone Unsuccessful Filled with dreams that never come true” And your hands reach out to your phone. One text. One call. To that someone who might make you feel pretty. Who might make you feel important. And your need takes over.
The need to feel accepted. To feel acknowledged. To feel appreciated. To feel adored. To feel loved. To feel respected. To feel honored. And it is so intense that u feel the hurt in heart to be covered up, for some time though. And it is never enough, the other day when  you wake up, screams go louder in your head, more sorrow in your heart, and you blame yourself to fall for the ditch even when u knew better. You start cursing yourself and you wish if u weren't the same.

That time People....read these lines.

Pehle Breathe.

Breathe Deep. It’s not so bad. You might think I don’t understand. But I do. Because I’m there, too. I’ve made that call. I’ve texted that wrong person. I’ve woken up with regrets. I still do. I’ve felt the need to be held. I’ve felt that  silent monster towards a friend in love, toward a friend with success.
Yes, we all make those mistakes. And we all think nobody else does. But they do.

So please, don’t hate yourself. And don’t stop. Don’t stop loving with all you have. Don’t stop wishing on every shooting star. Don't stop dancing on your beats. Don't stop falling for your crushes. Don't stop laughing out loud in public. Don’t stop dreaming of fairy-tales, it may never come true though! But don't stop being yourself.

You have so much on your plate, to do. You have a world filled with life waiting to happen. You have books to be read. Steps to be taken. Places to see. People to meet. You haven’t lived half of your life yet. There’s so much ahead. And in ten years, when you look back, you’ll wish you were here again. And probably these would be few great stories for your grand-kids.

So don’t waste it in complaining. Don’t lose yourself to your self-pity and non-existent boundaries. Use everyday. And i don't mean u  to spend thousands of bucks because I know how you’re struggling to make ends meet.

Do the simple things. Stop procrastinating. Take a walk with nature. Go to the gym. Read your favorite book for the millionth time. Watch a movie. Write your novel. Study something good, keep yourself updated with the world. Sketch until you’re better than the best. Eat like you’re dying tomorrow. And most importantly, make mistakes. Your heart will heal. But today will never be back again. Don’t live with “Could-have-been’s.” Take chances.

And remember one thing... It’s okay to be alone.

There is time to let your life revolve around someone else. But today, let it revolve around you.
Not because you can’t find someone. Not because you can’t be loved. But because you deserve to wake up with a smile. You deserve to live life. To make memories so wild, you’ll be the coolest grandparent they’ve ever known.

Breathe. It’s only your mid-20’s.
You’re going to be fine. Trust ME!
