I am tired of being a twenty something

Posted on July 21, 2009 by imerika

I am tired of being lost and confused.

I am tired of living at home with my parents.

I am tired of living paycheck to paycheck, and having all of $40 left in my bank account right now.

I am tired of job searching and still not really knowing what i want to “do” with the rest of my life.

I am tired of dating, I am tired of being single, I am tired of being in relationships.

I am tired of spending 9 hours a day at work, all while daydreaming of vacations and tropical getaways.

I am tired of consistently overanalyzing every aspect of my life.

I am tired of comparing myself to others and always feeling inadequate.

I am tired of not knowing where I’m going to be in 10 years.

I am tired of living on someone else’s timeline and always under pressure.

I am tired of feeling like my life is just passing me by when I am supposed to be enjoying these ‘glory years’.

I am tired of being tired.

I am tired of not knowing.

Today is just one day, tomorrow will be another, and I will feel better. But tell me, what are you tired of?

    I’m tired of being in debt, pinching pennies, and being broke while everyone around me is traveling, having children, buying houses…..it’s exhausting. I totally get where you’re coming from.

    Apart from a good number of the things you mentioned I’m tired of the fact that I can’t just get on and start making things happen for myself.

    I’m tired of most of the things you just listed, but I’m also tired of waiting for jobs to call me. Do you like e or not? It’s so stressful.

    I’m also tired of being in a relationship, but not being ready to get married either.

    I was so ready to turn 30 when I turned 27. I am so done with my twenties and I don’t get people who wish they were younger. I am happy to get older and wiser. Let me tell you, it’s much easier to not give a rat’s ass when you’re thirty-something. Sometimes, I confess, I say things that should probably not be said. But also, I find that I have become intimidating. People don’t give me crap the way they used to. When I want something, I ask for it and I get it. It is a really good thing you’re tired of being twenty-something. It means you’re doing something right.

    I’m tired of, ALL of the above.

    I’m also tired of people my age who seem to have it all figured out.

    I’m tired of feeling like I’m on the edge of change, only to be in the same place six months later!

    Let’s hang in there together, things are bound to happen…. right?

    You know, just yesterday I thought to myself “My little heart is tired”.
    Other than that though, I’m moving out of feeling tired about the other things. Recently single again for the first time in a long time I’m actually refreshed and happy to just be me -flaws and all. I also think the whole “quarter-life crisis” is a big reality and a very trying (and tiring) time, but once you start moving out of it things start to make more sense again. It’s taken me about 2 years to start moving out of that phase…so hang in there…the wisdom and strength of self you lose will come back even better.

    Well done, I’m tired of all those things among others.
    I’m tired of being hurt.
    I’m tired of trusting people and then having them break my heart later.
    I’m tired of feeling alone, worthless.
    I’m tired of my diabetes.
    I’m tired of being ridiculed for every choice I make.

    It’s nice to know I’m not the only one who is tired.

    Being in a stagnate relationship (5yrs!!!)
    People asking me “So what are you doing now?”
    Not knowing what the hell I’m supposed to do in life
    My lame ass job
    Comparing myself to others and feeling inadequate
    LIVING @ HOME!
    Living paycheck to paycheck
