Dear Adult Life!

We all heard in our childhood that you are always at an amazing stage of life. A stage where we practically experiment with our learning, a stage where we experience and learn a lot of things. In our childhood, we desperately wanted to enter at this stage but we never knew we were moving from a carefree stage to a stage where we have to daily face a lot of questions, a lot of new things, and a lot of learning with some good and bad experiences.
Reading every article every adult would feel why these writers talk with such an idealistic approach. Why don’t they speak upon the actual problems, sorry not problems but questions, why don’t they answer those questions which we face daily? In our childhood, we all had a great imagination about our adult life but like always life is not what we think it’s about how we think. College life is the most crucial phase of our life not only because we all become the participants of a marathon race whose winning point is getting a job but yes because at this stage our list of wants is so big that our need gets neglected. In the journey of fulfilling all the wants of our want list, we actually lose our real selves. Yes, the real self who struggled and did a lot of hard work just to get into the dream college.

We all have a dream college where we decide to study but actually, once we get it we think of enjoying the journey of the dream college. But what if we forget the aim for which we entered college? I marked the biggest question about which no one thinks in the 1st year but yes in the final year when the same question is asked by our parents and teacher the time when we see our batch mates stepping ahead and getting jobs we are only left with regret. The period of regret is the most painful moment and every adult who is currently reading it has faced this pain.
The adult life is really complicated as much as we make it simple it gets more complicated because at this stage we have got a lot of influencers among them some influence for a good cause but some influence for a bad cause. Again a question how to know who influences for a good cause? So, obviously, the one who motivates you to focus on your career as well as even advises you to have a joyful time are the pieces of advice to be listened to. No one can 24*7 just study. We all require “me time” in which we can focus on our hobbies.
So, yes, adult life is not easy but not much complicated. We all need to understand that a balance is required in?life. If we continuously study we need a break and if we are only busy in having fun then instead of blaming life ask yourself what mistakes you have made. Getting a perfect 9-5 job is not a huge success but yes a success for those who know its importance, who know the sacrifices they gave to achieve this success. No stage of life is easy, no stage is too complicated. It’s just an understanding between you and your stage of life, which stage is on the priority list. Blaming life is easy but finding your own mistake is really hard. Enjoy each stage of life by stepping ahead for your best version.
