the Quarter Life Crisis.

Life in your mid-20s can feel like walking through a maze without a map.

Not going to lie, most days, I feel so lost and confused. Thinking to myself, am I on the right track? Why don’t I have any friends? Where did I go wrong? —

After coming back home from studying in the States, I found myself back under my parents’ roof working in the family’s business which is not so bad except that my knowledge of it is pretty low. A comforting yet challenging feeling having to balance family expectations with my own dreams and passions in life. Here I was thinking by now I would have a stable relationship with a man hoping to get married. But life took a different turn for me in that arena. 

Before returning home, I went through what the kids are calling it these days, “a situationship”. I absolutely hated that. The whole idea of it. After coming out from that toxicity, it left me unsure about dating and relationships as a whole. It wasn’t quite a relationship but more than a friendship for sure but also not a friendship. It was a dark place where I lost myself. Coming home was saving me in a way. After going through a painful period, it did teach me a lot about protecting my heart, setting boundaries and knowing my worth.

In the end, my mid-20s are about becoming the woman I want to be—strong (physically and mentally), independent, and true to myself. It’s about learning from experiences, shaping my own story, and finding happiness in the journey. I’m so glad to say I’ve already started executing those plans I have for myself and taking it one day at a time.
