20 something - the phase when you trade your pair of jeans
for a pair of formal trousers; when all of your friends are getting married,
getting a job and getting a life, and you? Well, if you're anything like me,
you're still trying to figure out where exactly the sitcom version of adulthood
went. It's almost like the "Santa Claus is not real" moment for most
of us, just stretched over a decade. Not to mention the utter disillusionment
named reality that we grapple with on an everyday basis. Everything was, is,
and will be about money, we discover and what's more? The rat race we've
trained our entire lives for, becomes the playground where we watch friendships
crumble to dust (and the reverse holds true, as well).
20 something- the period when you realize that in reality,
NOBODY CARES about who you are, what you do, and where you land up; except your
family. It's also the time when you finally end up flying from the nest and
learn that, spreading your wings isn't exactly the most effortless job ever.
Rephrasing Spiderman, "With independence comes responsibility"; our major concerns turn to finding a job that pays the
bills, instead of scouring branded outlets for the next best deals.
20 something - an age when we learn that romantic love
really is overrated, probably even hyped for the sake of rom-coms. True love
means spending nights and days fighting to stay together, rather than falling
apart. A period, when true friends get separated from the fake ones and every
relationship is tried under the test of time and distance.
And finally, when we come to the end of the rollercoaster
ride, we realize that nothing is permanent. Ever. Also that, change is the only
thing constant. Always.
