Being Twenty-Something [thread 2]

[freeswan]

i just turned 26 and lookng back, when i was still  in high school, i had my plans when i reach twenty something.. then one wish came true, that i'll get married by 25!!! yahoo! it was close of not pushing through because, it will just be a month before i turned 26. goal ko naman is to have a baby by 28. sana before the year ends, we can have our own house or kahit car man lang.

grabe my first post here sabi ko i want to work after grad. tignan mo nga naman ang buhay may baby na ko. at hindi pa ngwowork. i know its hard lalo na 21 palang ako.

but i know everything will be ok.

*tama ba tong post ko?hahaha*

being 21 and a mom is hard but i still feel blessed to have my baby and her father/my lifetime partner.

few months from now im gonna be saying goodbye to being in my twenties. it's sad na di na ko bumabata! hay! im gonna miss this part of life soon but im sure theres plenty of things waiting for me in my 30's, so who cares??

[freeswan]

^ goodluck sis.

[em.em]

being twenty something for me is confusing. i don't even know what i really want in this life. i think what i'm going through right now is a twenty something crisis.

[pretinnes]

^quarter-life crisis. totoo pala siya no? akala ko dati echos lang.

[em.em]

^ for me sis totoo, i'm reading a book about this and true nga yun ang pinagdaraanan ko ngayon.

[Shery]

^ pareho tayo mga sis.. feeling ko di ko alam gagawin ko na sa buhay ko.. ang hirap..

[Kady_14]

i so agree... Hayz...

[em.em]

being twenty something makes me feel the need to "have it all.." like you must have a great career or otherwise we will not be sucessful, fat bank account or else we will end up penniless, we must be married at a certain age and have children or else we will not be complete or we must have a fab figure or else we will not be considered as sexy. hay so many expectations pa.. sometimes i ask how do get what i want eh ako sa sarili ko hindi ko alam ano ba talaga ang gusto ko.

[hairt mini]

being twenty something...
I am confused..
I want to do that..I want to this...
but how can I do the this and that if I dont know what I really want??
haist.....
but good thing is..i'm enjoying my life to the fullest..

[ebosh]

Ako din I don't know what I want.
Back to zero nako in a month trying to find out for that missing piece. Wish ko lang sana hindi masayang ang ginive up ko kakahanap sa kakulangan sa buhay ko and what would really make me happy.
I have pa naman until tomorrow to think about this.
Lord, give me a sign!!!! 

[em.em]

we're all in the same boat. nakakatulong ba counselling sa ganito?

[calin22]

^ sis i think makakatulong din yung counseling sa ganyan.. me kasi im just 22.. what i do para maging straight ang mga gusto.. i write everything i want sa piece of paper.. parang i have a check list then dun ko pinag iisipan ng matagal kung ano ba ang dapat gawin at ipriority.

[dys_realbeauty]

hmmm...being twenty something makes me feel more responsible to rethink my actions and decisions in life...nakaka-pressure din kasi...im 23 and siyempre, at this point in time, medyo dapat alam ko na kung ano gusto ko in life...but the sad thing is, i still dont know...

maybe ill try one of the sisses suggestions here....to write everything down...hay....

[cherub.rock]

i'm 22 years old, graduated a year ago and now working at a callcenter.
what i do love about my life right now is i'm earning money for myself. my dream is to travel.. so i'm saving for that. i have more independence than before.

on the other hand, why do i constantly feel like i'm running out of time? i feel like i'm in a race and so left behind. i feel pressured to achieve something. i'm still unsure what i really want to do. i really dread my next birthday because that means i'm getting older yet life is still the same. hahay.

i can sooo relate to everyone's posts here.

[ms_rsm]

^ not yet too late for you sis, 22 is not yet that old. ako nga eh, turning 25 this year pero currently looking for a fresh start pa lang. i decided to shift into another field kasi which i don't have any experience at all. in short sayang ang 3 years ko sa dati kong work kasi irrelevant din naman sa gusto kong lipatan. ang good thing lang, alam ko ang gusto ko, medyo nahihirapan nga lang akong matanggap sa work ngayon since nga hindi related [textspeak!] previous experience ko.

siguro nga eto na [textspeak!] tinatawag nilang quarter-life crisis, nakakapagod na rin maghintay minsan kung kelan ba matatapos to, pero sana malagpasan lang natin lahat ng yan with flying colors
