But that is how great it’s gone get for now..

I read King_gozie’s article where he talked about being 23 and worried, and it reminded me a little Of how nervous I get after every birthday. It’s like Now I am one year older, one year closer to my death, one year less younger, one year close to loosing my youthful exorbitant, sometimes the thoughts are just so rampant in my head like osmosis I tend to loose it for some minutes. The pressure can be really intimidating. You look at people you grew up with most of them are already established, some even married, other living their best lives, going on vacations and trips and then these questions come to mind.
Are you better than last year ?
is this the life you planned for ?
what are you going to do with your life in the future ?
hope this isn’t your last year on earth ?
are you living your best life ?
do you meet up to the standards you set for yourself ?
when will your life begin ?
Our early twenties
These years are the most delicate years in our lives .This is where you decided if you are going to build some healthy habits or start some dangerous addictions. The society doesn’t realize it but young adults in their twenties have the highest chance to suffer from depression because of the pressure and anxiety especially in this generation. Sometimes i am lost in thoughts thinking “ I need to find a way, I need a big break, maybe invent something and make the world notice me” but then again I don’t think I want that type of fame. I am caught in between becoming financially free and getting famous but still being able to have time for the people I care about and also making sure I put God and my family first while trying to live my best life, sigh it can be a drag sometimes. I feel like a old man in a young body.
but…
when you really analyze it
There is a whole lot of people my age out there that I am doing way better than. Some of them are in their graves, some locked up, some sick with one diseases or the other, some of them are out of school, some of them can’t afford a 3square meal, some can afford the kind of clothes I wear, the food I eat or the kind of life I live. Which just makes me to understand that everybody has got baggages and mine is not the worse I can say that for sure.
It still boils down to showing gratitude to the source that gives life. My life might not be going as great as I imagined it to be but it doesn’t such completely. So sometimes when these thoughts of thinking about how old I am and how I am not really meeting some of the target I set for myself for certain ages which might be realistic or not,I just say to myself “ there is life and so there is hope” which means there is room for improvement and I never going to give up or settle for average.
I am sure a lot of youth my age go through the exact the same line of thought don’t fret too much about it as far as you are alive and working towards your goals no-time is too late. Also try to count your blessings and name them one by one because sure you are getting older but have you asked of yourself how many of your Age mates are able to celebrate another year of life. Some died on the way and of course they wish to be here but unfortunately there are no more so count your blessings and worry not about trivial things like age and stuffs like that.
just so it is out there; I am thankful for growth and maturity, for life, for lessons, for the pains and the experience I count it all joy.

Let’s catch a vibe on
Thank you for your time as always my good readers. Stay safe and Live your best life.
I feel this was channeled towards me as I was going through the same feeling, there is always hope even in the course of these events and one thing I gained after posting that from you and every other users is not to compare and just live life as it comes.. worrying wouldn't change anything but make it worse..
This is a very good read, stated what causes it and then why on earth are we even thinking about it when we could be better than some others... thankGod for everything though but how old you be sef 😅 be like you old pass me
