my sister and most of my relatives that are younger and around my age have been to university and passed with flying colours while maintaining a busy active social world, my sister has been lucky enough to achieve a big success in her career in terms of creativity and wage while travelling around the world, she is the perfect daughter to any parent, one of my cousins is prospering in the car design industry and has bought a massive house with his girlfriend, my other cousin is prospering in the science field and the cousins on my mothers side are succesful musicians and nothing can stop their confidence ....
i get comments thrown at me like "wouldn't you like to be like your cousins or your sister" ...
i'm struggling in the final year at university and at the moment i get the feeling that i am supposed to be the odd one out in this family scenario or something because everybody else is living their dream....
then i started thinking, what if i meet a girl and i'm not employed in my career of choice earning enough to sustain a mutual financial relationship if it gets serious, that would eventually become a barrier.
all this stuff pops its head up when you hit your early to mid twenties and im honestly finding the pressure of it similar to climbing mount everest ten times without a break especially now with the recession ..
i know its better to think that you meet someone and all that superficial jargon wont get in the way, however the pressures to fit in and succeed in modern culture is a big weight ....
yeh i can distract myself from the pressure and still have fun sometimes but i find myself feeling down all the time
