Tug-Of-War

 A Hello and a warm hug to all the 20s out there, who are juggling to be a kid again and to be the perfect adult. Welcoming us to adulthood, with fingers crossed.

We are stuck between all the question marks, exclamation points, commas, and periods. Our thoughts always start with "What if...," "What if not...," "Why...," "What...," and mostly end with... "na...naa, there's no end, by the way."

We feel it's complicated with the phrases love, relationship, move on, break up, passion, heart, romance, guilt, fairy tale, companionship, compromise, expectations, responsibilities. Ough!! So much to handle.

Isn't our generation a little bit confused about the above dramas?  

Like guys! what are we trying to find? What does it mean to us? 

Are we not satisfied with what we have and the way we have them? 

Are we starving for a "Perfect Love," "perfect End," "perfect Story"? 

Did we already lose our best moments while hustling to find perfection in everything?

Are we all stuck between being Naina and Bunny from YJHD... joking.

We want to explore the whole world but also miss being in our home. We want to do our best in our careers and also don't want anyone to take away our freedom. We long for having a fairy tale in our lives but also want a simple story. We wait for the the whole week for the weekend to come just to lay down on the bed and listen to music. We want great companionship but are really afraid of commitments. We are struggling to find the right balance.

                                             

But... that's okay, we are all here for each other. It's okay to feel confused and uncertain. Adulthood is a journey, not a destination. 

One day we will realize what gives the right value in our lives. Until then, love what you have, respect your flaws, work for your passion. Fall down and remember to get up. Face rejections and move on with a smile. Make sure both applause and criticism add value to your life. Talk to your people, understand who is really there for you, and keep them in your life. Buy good clothes, dress up, and glow. GO grab your favorite food. Take some time to talk to your friends, family.

 I'm not writing this to give some gyan to anyone. This is for me, for myself, and for all those who need this.
