THE AGE OF 20

    So your teen ends and you're now called the 'young adults'. it's not just the difference in the title given to you, there's a long list of chaos waiting for you. As a kid and as a teen I couldn't wait to reach the age of 20. I felt people had their life sorted out, were independent and most importantly happy. But it was when I became 20 my entire life flipped 360 degrees and all I could do was watch it crumble before me. I was so helpless as it was all new to me the pressure of a prosperous future and maintaining a social life and having good and clear skin all seemed too much to me and what was more difficult in all this turmoil was to live a life different from what you've dreamed of. For some, they became what they wanted to be and some like me, we took an alternate path about which we never thought but had to walk on it so as to avoid being left behind in this fast-growing world. I will share with you about the changes and challenges I have to face at this age.

1.SKYROCKETING RESPONSIBILITIES :

Okay so you're 20 now and the world seems to take you as an empty rack and start stacking and filling it up with almost all the non-consequntial responsibilities. You even have to go to a doctor alone as your parents think you're way too grown up to have a parent describe your state to the doctor. You have to disciplined all the time and if you commit a single mistake equivalent to a speck you will be blamed for setting up a bad example for your siblings. Your parents expect you to be pro at things you never did and then you have your own set of things you need to take care of. this basically includes social life, a good career plan cause you feel if you fail here you're gonna be broke for the rest of your life.

2.NO SLEEP, NO PEACE :

So you have a pile of assignments on your table almost every day of the week and you're always in an internal battle to finish it on time and get the 8-hour sleep or stay up all night tryna complete the assignment which you left procrastinating for a month. you're always confused if you should watch one more episode or one more season and next day you look like you rescued zombies the entire night. And the struggle for sleep goes on.

3.MORE INTERACTION:

So me being an introvert find this really hard to cope up with. There is a sudden need or urge to interact more with people especially if you are a part worker too.  You have to be surrounded by people almost all the time and your phone always keeps on ringing and you can't do anything but lift it with all the strength you could. People everywhere and anxiety everywhere too.

4. DESPERATE NEED OF LOVE:

You suddenly want to be loved and want to love. you keep on thinking about when you'll get married or you panic thinking if you'll ever get married. It's a difficult situation, where you want to establish a career and want to be an independent woman but simultaneously you want to be a mom of four kids and wife to a loving husband and meeting the family goals. If you've been too caught up in your studies and never got the chance to be in a relationship then the desperation literally intensifies and you crave for someone and be in that relationship status.

5. DEPRIVATION OF TRUST :

So you want to be in a relationship but as soon as someone starts showing interest in you, you back off. It could be because of the trust issues you've developed in the course of your life, and feeling everyone might end up hurting you or leaving you. And so it makes you difficult to trust people due to which you don't seem to bond well, even though you want to and end up feeling lonely and no one to share your feelings with. It's one of the major drawbacks as well as an essential self-defense tool in your 20s.

There's much more that you face but I don't wanna prolong it and have highlighted only the crucial points according to me. Though there is ruckus and chaos, it's also the golden age in any person's life.

Let me know what all you had to go through this phase and I'll be adding more and more points in my other blogs.
