Juggling life as a young adult hasn’t been that easy for me as a first time. It’s funny how I say it, like any one of us is a second timer. We are all new to this life thing and we always try our best to make the best out of what we have in life.
I grew up having a good life and still do. But nothing prepared be enough for the outside world. I always knew that it wasn’t easy out there, but no one told me it wasn’t just hard, it was miserable on some days also. I’ve always been an overachiever. I want the best for myself and those around me and nothing would stop me from getting that. But once I stepped into adulthood, imposter syndrome started to seep in bit by bit.
There were days I didn’t think I could do the things I really wanted to do in my life. I set goals and start working towards them, only to later feel like I wouldn’t meet them or just give up mid way for no reason. But then, you always have to make sure to come back stronger. You will fail, but that doesn’t mean you won’t win.
I always tell myself there are a billion and people like me out there, some even with less opportunities than I have but they are still making it bigger than me . They are not special than me so if they can make it , why can’t it. This should be enough motivation to keep everyone going. Today, I look back and see how much I have achieved just by pushing and not giving up.
Life as an adult is tough, but looking back one day and realizing you wasted so many opportunities when you could have made the best out of it would kill you. This is the time to start, once you want it, go for it. Don’t let anything or anyone stop you.
all images belong to me.
