Why has no one ever warned me about the mid-life crisis in your twenties? When I think of the term 'mid-life crisis, I picture a 50-year-old male, leaving his perfect family, buying a leather jacket, and setting off into the sunset on his new Harley Davidson. But no, here I'm sitting at the age of 25 and feeling more lost than ever. Your twenties were supposed to be the time where you figure out who you really are, but as a millennial, I find that the pressure to be already self-established is unbearing and impossible to escape.

Why are relationships so hard?

Given how easy it is to find someone to date in the 21st century, you would think finding love would be simple. 30 years ago, the chance of meeting 'your person' was simply luck. right place at the right time. In today's generation, we have the help of social media and dating apps, yet it seems nearly impossible to find that special someone. This generation does have a level of irony in it though, with all the cheating scandals and non-commitment issues from partners constantly surfacing social media, I find that every time I check my Facebook feed, another person I know is engaged. It's almost like an unspoken rule at the moment, it's better to be with someone even if they have hurt you than to be single and still out there looking for love.

That's why I have decided to close my door on love for the time being and focus all my energy on my career.

Love versus your career

Now the next question is if I plan to focus on my career over finding love, when do I find the time to discover who I am? I mean at the end of the day, which guy doesn't love a powerful woman who earns more than they do?

It's time to get out of this mid-twenties funk and kick life's ass, are you ready to join me?
