Young Adulthood

Just when you think that you've gone past the whole terrible adolescent stage where you're still looking for yourself and dealing with all the hormonal changes and you think you're finally more settled as a person, you realise that young adulthood isn't actually the most fun life stage to be at times.

You start asking even deeper and more difficult questions, you question your faith and how your faith affects your daily experiences, especially the painful ones. You start to question societal norms, your own values. You start to wonder how you can still actually understand your faith, in the face of the complex world cos you realise that there are no quick or easy answers to life's questions and circumstances.

And then there's this whole future thing about career, marriage, financial planning etc. I hope I'm not the only one who's feeling intimidated by the "adult" stuff.

And suddenly, you are on your own. No one can tell you what to do or how to think anymore.

Maybe I've been so sheltered so it may contribute to this feeling of not feeling like I'm an adult. It's like..I kind of still want to be a youth. So it's kinda scary and uncomfortable at times. But I must admit it can be fulfilling and challenging too when you have a greater capacity and can create greater impact in various ways and people start taking you more seriously.

Just some thoughts before I head off to bed. Tomorrow will be another day at work.
