The Bloggers With The Most To Say
The Twenties. The New Survivor.
They say your twenties are the years to be envied by all other age
groups. They are said to be the best years of your life. The partying,
the freedom, the self-discovery and just the celebration of being young.
Is it just me or did someone fail to tell us these are the years when
life just hits you in the face. The only real comparison I can even come
up with is to a deer caught in headlights. Just imagine what goes
through a deers' mind right before seeing a speeding car with blinding
bright lights. Their so surprised and frightened they are unable to move
or think. Well that's what it feels like in your twenties. Life comes
at you so fast it can feel like suffocation. So how do you make long
term life decisions when you can barely breathe? Do we rely on our
instincts? Do we just "go with the flow"? Is this why so many of us turn
to recreational drug use and become alcoholics because we just can't
deal? Do we make reckless decisions because that's the "thing-to-do"
when you're in your twenties? Why do the twenties feel like the new
"Survivor"? I'm sure almost everyone is familiar with the show Survivor.
A reality television game show where contestants are isolated in the
wilderness and compete for cash and prizes. Unfortunately, not everyone
can successfully make it to the end. There motto: Outwit, Outplay,
Outlast. Should this be the new catch-phrase for us twenty somethings.
Is there a way to survive these crucial years without losing a piece of
ourselves or losing ourselves completely?
