"The most difficult age for any man should be between 24 and
29 years, the pressure to be someone important is so immense.
When you look around you, everyone seems to be doing
something for themselves, people seem to be living a life you
only dream of.
You have applied for jobs and the results have been more
disappointing than you ever imagined. Sadly this is the age
when most guys lose it, the age when if not careful, one is
consumed by alcohol or drugs, because the disappointments
become too much and you find alternative ways to face reality.
Worse is when a few people you studied with have been lucky
enough to land good jobs, soon your circle of friends gets
thinner – mostly they don’t even cut you out directly but you're
real with yourself and cut yourself off.
Soon you realize this is no longer your kind of crowd because
the more you stay around, the greater, the pressure to be
someone important takes a toll on you.
Have you ever sat in a group of people discussing the new
iPhone on the market or how British Airways offers shit
services and you can feel your heart whisper to you “You don't
fit in here?
But after a few years of job hunting, u are now ready to take
anything even if is to smell a rich man’s farts as long as it pays.
To imagine that 3 or 4 years of studying and getting a degree is
now reduced to either picking and dropping off letters or being
sent for cheap lunch by the employees.
This is when conversations about where people schooled start,
you go silent for it’s no longer of any use to say you also
reached University, it doesn’t matter – you have resorted to
surviving.
The worst mistake you can make during this period is to try
dating – there is nothing that a person going through such times
can offer in terms of love.
How do you have time for evening romantic talks when you are
tired from walking delivering letters in offices around town?
What are you going to tell your lady when she says she wants to
go to Movenpick for dinner? Will you say that your financial
religion doesn’t allow it or what?
This is the age when you sit back and watch as the ladies you
would want to be with, dating or getting married to guys 10
years older than you.
And you can’t blame them – it’s only that your life seems to be
progressing slower than their goals in life. Most of the ladies
you meet during this period, if you are lucky, will be patient
with you till you hit 28, and if by then your life is still in
disarray like Liverpool’s performance in the EPL, then my
friend be prepared for a walk out.
If you can fight through this stage of life, the only hard moment
in your life would be when you lose your parents - that’s if you
are still lucky enough to have them.
This stage teaches you a lot about perseverance, about
appreciating the small wins you have each day, it teaches you
something about friendship, love, career growth and personal
responsibility.This is always your rise or fall moment
depending on the choices you make.
How you live your life in the 30’s is determined by how you
handled your life in this phase."

my brother God bless you.

amen sir and God bless users of this beautiful forum, NL

Op, no be lie

This is the best piece that I have read in a long time on this forum.

...thank God for everything. We are not out of the woods yet but we have definitely left the jungle.

Best piece I've read this year. Can't relate but can only imagine what it feels like finding oneself in such a predicament. Every young man should read this inspirational piece. Respect to the author.

true sir...

As much as I enjoy and appreciate the write up, I would have loved the writer to tell us how the situation can be best managed and the way out.

So on point. This is a stage whereby you are OYO. Especially if one is the 1st child

it's so not easy for we young guys out there

Really? You guys go through this? May God bless your hustles but it's not always easy for ladies too you know.

kudos OP. it is well.

Lies in a good way

Hmmmmmmm insightful write-up.

Very nicely worded.. Nice one OP.

Nize sturv, op

@ Op, analyzing problems without providing a way forward? and people are here appluaing you? ... a mind that conceives problems MUST provide the solution(s) you did not say anything new here, almost every concerned person(s) knows all that you have written yet you failed to provide or suggest a solution.

A sick person already knows that he or she is sick (Problems ), what he or she needs at that material time is healing (Solutions ).

I bet, you have the problem of "reading and understanding" . Am I to tell you how to live your life? Its simple... "How you live your life at this stage determines how you live your life in your 30s and above. BleSs you.

Thank you!... just imagine a write up that ONLY analyzed a problem without any suggested solution, of what use is that write up? My criticism should have prompted you to research further in other to provide a suggested solution to the problem you have analyzed, rather you resorted to insult.

If indeed you are not the one to tell me how to live my life, then what's your intent of writing?

Op to be honest this is the simple truth. I met my fiance 2012, he just got sacked from stanbic,i was a corper then.He was 27! Out of frustration he decided to go for his masters with the little he saved while working for 8months.That period was hell for me,he would cry,nag,he would sometimes be insultive,other times he would just switch off! He started drinking(something he has never done) he became disrespectful. At a time I left him,but last year he got a good job(though not what he expected) but he's much better now.He apologised and begged to come back! When I mentioned marriage, he got abit down again as he hasn't saved enough and I totally understood and told myself i'd wait.December last year he bought a car and things to been going on well,the moodswing has reduced drastically,he now talks about the future more,he's now happy and i'm very happy about it. This morning was the first time he told me he really loves me after 2years! I'm so happy I didn't give up on him,i just became more understanding and caring. Once again nice one OP!
