Hi from Lost Girl
Bored, lost, bored of being lost and not knowing what my place is in this world.
After 22 years of being a student, you suddenly find yourself asking yourself what the next step is going to be. That weird stage between finishing your degree and finding a job.
What do I have to do?
What do I expect?
Will I be good enough?
Is this what I really want to do?
Time to present myself, I am Lydia, I am 22 years old, I am Spanish, I have just finished my degree and I don't know where or what I will be doing in a weeks time. For 22 years of my life, every summer I knew what I was going to be doing and where I was going to be in September. For the first time in my life, it is September and I have no idea what I am going to do this year. It is exciting but at the same time very frightening considering how I like everything to be planned.
I feel like as youngsters, as people we worry too much about what people think of our lives, of what we are doing or we are not doing instead of focusing on if what we are doing really makes us happy. I worry too much about whether what awaits me fills the expectations of what people believe I can do or I should do when really the person's opinion I have to worry about is mine. Let's think a little bit more about ourselves and let the rest worry about their lives.
Another source of anxiety that affects us is the social networks. Wanting and needing to overshare our "lives". Not only that but the apparent perfection that those social networks show which is everything but the reality of our lives.
These are some of the many issues that are in my head right now and I imagine the heads of many other youngsters that are in the same situation as me right now.
