Life After 20s: A Messy Dream with a Beating Heart

So, I’m in my 20s now… and honestly, life feels like a rollercoaster that forgot where the brakes are.

I thought after 20, I would have it all figured out. Like seriously — I had these big, beautiful dreams. I wanted to own a camera, roam around the city, click everything I saw — trees, roads, flyovers, light poles, even old buildings with a story on their walls. I thought I’d be out there chasing sunsets and stories.
But where am I now?
Sitting in my room, with my laptop open for vibes and my phone glued to my hand like it pays my bills. 😄

We make such big plans, don’t we?
“I’ll study.”
“I’ll create.”
“I’ll earn.”
“I’ll be consistent.”
And then boom — we take a nap that turns into half the day. And suddenly, it's already night and the guilt is knocking on our door.

I have so many dreams in my head, but let’s be honest, dreams without expenses are just stories. I want to do a lot — create blogs, shoot videos, click pictures, learn new things… but the budget says, “Bro calm down.” 😭

The funnier part? We don’t even do the things we truly want. We just sit, scroll, overthink, repeat. And we know we’re doing the opposite of what we should be doing — but still, we do it.
We keep saying, “Kal se karunga,” but that “kal” keeps shifting like it's shy.

College Life: The Real Comedy Show

Right now, I’m in 4th semester. I’ve already given two papers, and two are left.
And what am I doing right now? Writing this blog.
Because apparently, ideas visit me only during exams. 😄

I don’t know how this happens, but I end up studying entire units the night before the paper. My brain’s like:
“Let’s do everything last minute. That’s our style.”
And then during the exam: “Why didn’t I remember this?!”
Simple answer — because you read it while yawning at 3 am. 😂

But somehow, I still get an above-average SGPA (Just Kidding). And I act surprised like, “How did this happen?”
Deep down, I know — one night of panic, three cups of chai, and ten prayers somehow do the job.

That One Dream — A Camera & The World

One thing I truly want is a camera. Not just to click photos — but to feel things through pictures. I want to step outside and capture life — the bridges, the shadows of trees, the still traffic lights, those little flowers growing out of walls, the things people don’t notice.

But I’m not even going out. The camera is in my wishlist, and I’m in bed. The dream is outside. I’m inside. That’s the situation. 😄

And Then Comes the Hustle Talk

Every week I say, “From tomorrow, I’ll do this course, I’ll start something new.”
But nothing happens.
Because between planning and action, there’s this giant gap called procrastination, and I live there permanently.

But I know one thing — everything takes time.
What really matters is consistency, mindset, and the will to become a better version of myself. Not better than others. Just better than who I was yesterday.

And yes, sometimes I feel slow, lost, and unsure. But somewhere inside, I know — this chaos will turn into something good.

A Small Petition for All of Us

Also, can we please make a rule that every person in their 20s should get ₹10,000 every month in their account automatically?
Like a small "you’re trying your best, here’s a reward" amount. 😄
Because we are broke, we are stressed, and still showing up like warriors. So why not!

So, if you’re reading this and feeling the same — trust me, we’re all in this mess together.
Some of us are hustling silently, some loudly, and some (like me) — writing blogs instead of studying. 😄
But we’re trying.
And that’s enough for today.

Let’s keep going.
Let’s keep dreaming — even if we’re doing it from our blankets.

Because we might be slow… but we’re not stopping.
