Here I am. 25. Broken of engagement. Fired from my job. Back in my parents' house. Certain that this is it for me.

Life is hard from the moment we have the ability to start making decisions. Do we prefer the red cup of blue cup. Do we want to wear boy shorts or girly dresses. Do we want to have friends who smoke and drink or sit with the ones that hardly talk. Do you want to go to university or take a gap year. Do you want to stay in this job or explore the world. The decision-making is endless. It never stops. And to make it even worse for us, the social environment we find ourselves in daily has a stigma of when what should be happening in your life. Be married by 23. Have your first baby by 25. Don't marry anyone, but don't take too long to get married. Enjoy married life with just the two of you, but don't wait forever to have babies. It's impossible to please everyone and yourself all at the same time. And that's exactly what I tried to do for so long. I tried to please everyone around me instead of letting myself be happy. I tried so hard to make sure everyone liked me, even if it was just by a faint margin. And then I ended up here. Broken hearted by the one person I put all my trust and love into. Fired from the job I wasn't planning on leaving just yet. And in a big fight with my mother, the once that just never seems to end.
