Being 25!

You are supposed to be fit, strong, charming, aggressive, hard-working and social, at 25 the world is there for you to be dealt the way you wish to deal with it. You can take maximum stress without much harm, you are free to risk everything you have, and figure out exactly what works and what doesn’t. You hate being stuck, you are at your lowest, when it comes to patience and you probably make more mistakes and learning a hell more than you have done in your entire life. This is what it means to be 25.

But being 25 has it lows as well. If you don’t get the life you want to have, panic sets in, easily. You become so desperate to achieve your lustful desires (yeah, they become lustful) that you can’t handle rejection & failure, and it cooks a perfect recipe for revolt.

Well, there is dual connotation to ‘Revolt’ here. Either you set to change the rules. They get in your way and sort of hinder progress. This type of revolt is good. It’s path breaking. It brings the entire belief system to a halt and damages preconceived notions.

But, the other revolt where you just want to tear apart anything that comes your way is bad for you and others. Most times, this revolt derives from anger, frustration, status, desperation and lustful desire to achieve something without doing any work.

The age certainly provides you the license and courage to swim your own course. At 25, you are either be travelling a lot or meeting exciting people, learning a new skills, making friends, hanging out with them, finding a career, switching industries, eating whatever you want, you have the energy and will to achieve the impossible and you are not afraid to walk that extra mile. That’s how exciting it becomes at 25!

But ‘with great power comes great responsibilities’, you can either enjoy life with your friends being half-drunk (I donno what exactly the term “half-drunk”, I used it metaphorically just to elaborate half-drunk- A man/wpman with a bit of sense left in them) or squander it consuming drugs/ marijuana. You can either explore things or be stuck with your boring life expecting a miracle would save you. You can either network with people or celebrate a lonely life with less opportunities and friends.

The decision lies upon you. Do you want to live a life regretting you didn’t do anything at 25 or do you want to cherish the memories of your adventures at 25? The choice is always ours. Choose wisely.
