An introduction

Welcome everyone!!!

This is my first post on ‘Little Notes by K’.

I thought I would make this a general post about my life at the moment as I know a lot of people can relate. I have recently moved home after living away for 4 years which has been quite the cultural shock if you will. Being in your early 20s and having no idea what to do with your life is both a terrible and exciting position to be in. I have been applying for jobs for almost 4 months and have only made 2 interviews! I think being in your 20s and having absolutely no prospects is sort of exciting? Do I travel? Do I find a full time job? Do I buy a house? Half my friends have gone travelling and the other half are working full time saving whilst I am working part time at a pub. If you told me when I started uni that I would be 23 and back at the pub I would have lost it. But I think that is exactly the issue with the world we live in. Everyone is in a rush to do something exciting, to save money when in reality we have SO MUCH TIME. No one has any clue what they are doing. Take my dad for example, he set up his own business in his 40s and completely changed his career trajectory. My close friend is almost 30 and lives in London and still has no idea what she is doing. Why are we so judgemental on everything? Saying all this is all well and good but I still wake up and fear that I am wasting my life away. It does not help that half the people I see ask what I am up to at the moment and when I tell them they say really? Yes really, do you want to give me a job?! The reality is something will come up. I know I will be happy and healthy in 20 years time and not even think about the anxieties and worries I have now but it is still a terrifying position to be in. Everything is against us, the job market, the housing market, skyrocket pricing of everyday products, it is no wonder people in their 20s are panicking. BUT, how lucky are we to be in a position where we have our whole lives ahead of us and too many options of what to do. It is difficult to stay positive all the time, I only recently had a meltdown because I got rejected from a job I desperately wanted. But it is about how you react to these rejections that really counts.

Anyway, I thought I would keep the first entry short and sweet. Thank you for reading and I will be back weekly with blogs.

Until the next little note,

K
