Maybe you’re in this position, or maybe you’re realizing that you’re heading in this direction. It’s possible that you’re like me. Always doing the right things, saying the right things, and always being the right one. It’s a wonder how you seem to get everything right. So what happens when everything starts feeling wrong?
If there is one thing I can be 100% sure of it’s that good things are on the way to me. Time and time again I have seen how even in the most challenging and strange circumstances things have always worked out in my favor.
A quarter-life crisis is something that’s unique to people in their mid twenties to early and one of thirties. Life can quickly become tricky and one of the trickiest things to figure out is the future. What happens when our future is unclear and we begin questioning the the things we’ve been taught are the “right things to do”?
I think something that social media really fuels is the need to be accepted or validated by other people. It’s almost as if it’s not enough to have a really interesting hobby or to be a relatable person. Now it seems as if you can only really be all that you are if you have at least one hundred likes, one thousand followers or twenty plus comments on Instagram. This isn’t to knock down anyone who has found success using social media (more power to you). The issue at hand is really that we are allowing “acceptance” from other people to define who we are or who we can become. I’ve been guilty of this even beyond social media.
