Being in Twenties

1) It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realizing, that there are many things about yourself that you didn't know and may not like.
2) You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two, but then get scared because you barely know where you are now.
3) You start realizing that people are selfish and that, maybe, those friends that you thought you were so close to aren't exactly the greatest people you have ever met, and the people you have lost touch with are some of the most important ones. What you don't recognize is that they are realizing that too, and aren't really cold, catty, mean or insincere, but that they are as confused as you.
4) You look at your job... and it is not even close to what you thought you would be doing, or maybe you are looking for a job and realizing that you are going to have to start at the bottom and that scares you.
5) Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what others are doing and find yourself judging more than usual because suddenly you realize that you have certain boundaries in your life and are constantly adding things to your list of what is acceptable and what isn't. One minute, you are insecure and then the next, secure.
6) You laugh and cry with the greatest force of your life. You feel alone and scared and confused. Suddenly, change is the enemy and you try and cling on to the past with dear life, but soon realize that the past is drifting further and further away, and there is nothing to do but stay where you are or move forward.
7) You get your heart broken and wonder how someone you loved could do such damage to you. Or you lie in bed and wonder why you can't meet anyone decent enough that you want to get to know better. Or maybe you love someone but love someone else too and cannot figure out why you're doing this because you know that you aren't a bad person. One night stands and random hook ups start to look cheap. Getting wasted, and acting like an idiot starts to look pathetic.
8) You go through the same emotions and questions over and over, and talk with your friends about the same topics because you cannot seem to make a decision. You worry about loans, money, the future and making a life for yourself... and while winning the race would be great, right now you'd just like to be a contender! What you may not realize is that every one reading this relates to it.
We are in our best of times and our worst of times, trying as hard as we can to figure this whole thing out. Send this to your twenty-something friends... maybe it will help someone feel like they aren't alone in their state of confusion... We call it the "Quarter-life Crisis."

This is so true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do women listen!!

U know wat there a question i asked on the other forums...do women really listen..according to me they hardly listen..yeah yeah im saying that on personal experience....i only listen if i want to..i mean i listen to people only whom i want to listen to...ma friend says this:Its just a myth like the white elephant, women do listen, but the problem is they talk more which gives them less time to listen. So they talk more and hence listen less ;)
Another friend says this:
We listen to every word they say the only thing this men think women dont listen.We make our points and use it when the time is right. Strike Iron when its hot...
I found it damn right but then is it?
Hmm i know too many questions to think about but then see i agree women talk a lot i talk too...but then we do listen sometimes...according to me most of the time all the others talk utter rubbish especially people who want to be noticed...i try listening to them but then they dont make any sense at all...i feel the same when i sit for some of the meetings in our office ....a lot of ideas are asked and said..not to fotget will be promised to put in place too but then nothing happens...after so much of listening if there is no use why should anyone be put through the exercise again?
And i dont understand one more thing why is this expectation only from women...why should women always listen..no one will complain if men talk tooooo much and dont listen at alll...hmm i really dont hear any complaints!!!!
