It is called growing up and find yourself. Those that dont' do this most likely will try to get it out of their system at later age after getting married and kids and so forth. So if you ever wondered why that older guy or older lady was in the club with you then you know why now. They are years behind....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32667793.post-91686049562190224612007-04-30T16:00:00.000-04:002007-04-30T16:00:00.000-04:00I believe when it comes to "it happened for a reas...I believe when it comes to "it happened for a reason," every difficult situation is an opportunity to grow and hopefully learn something about yourself. Sometimes, without painful events, we'd never realize that perhaps we were operating under false pretenses, or doing things for the wrong reasons. <BR/><BR/>For me, tough times are God's way of giving us opportunities to learn from our choices and have some eye-opening realizations. <BR/><BR/>As you always say Alisha, the key is to be introspective and honest with yourself--even if facing the truth hurts. You can't build character without adversity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32667793.post-65255706839901796672007-04-27T16:23:00.000-04:002007-04-27T16:23:00.000-04:00I am just out of college last May and I landed a j...I am just out of college last May and I landed a job that I thought would become my career (teaching). But after 4 months, I was having a work crisis in which my boss was taking advantage of me being young and passive. After dealing with job-related depression and anxiety for 2 more months, I realized that my perfect dream life/job/happiness was shattered and I was going to have to do something drastic. I quit my job. I had a lot of feelings of being a failure, depression because my dream hadn't worked out, and a "quarter-life crisis" about what I'd do now.<BR/><BR/>But this has really been amazing for me. I was so type-A and ambitious before that I didn't know how to deal with NOT succeeding. Now I really understand that it's NOT the end of the world, and you can always change your course. <BR/><BR/>I'm also a LOT less passive and naive. I have more confidence because I handled the ordeal myself, with maturity and strength. So now, when I'm organizing things at my new job, I feel a lot more like an adult and a lot more powerful than I ever did before.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07615698036289763988noreply@blogger.com
