It's Okay.

As humans, we want to find the purpose of our lives and to have everything planned out. When things do not go our way, we become a baby once again; we panic, cry, become whiny, yell, blame, scream, etc. We are adults but we act just like little children who run around and not thinking straight when things do not pan out the way we desire.  People say the 20s is the most important decade of our lives; it's a time where there is self-discovery and self-reflection and it's a time where the foundation of our lives is formed; it's a time where we are fitting pieces of our lives together and hoping they would make sense; making sense or not, people in their 20s go through many changes and disappointments that school and family did not prepare them for.  When people in their 20s realize it's okay to not have everything figure out and it's important to just go with the flow of life, things begin to make more sense.

My 20s have had some rocky events that shook me and it makes me question everything I learn in school and what was taught to me during childhood at home; lately, I figure that it's actually typical to not have things all figure out.  In the last episode of the Season 4 of How I Met Your Mother, the character Lily said, "Look, you can't design your life like a building.  It doesn't work that way.  You just have to live it...and it'll design itself."  A lot of time, we try to  build our lives and when it doesn't turn out the way we want, we dive into depression and this sucks the life out of us; we stop enjoying the things we used to enjoy and we get irritated over the small things that are not worth our time.  Maybe it's okay to be scared and to not have what we want, maybe not having what we want is the best thing that can happen to us.  Maybe, maybe we just need to live life and enjoy it every minute because we might not have tomorrow.
