All too many people can't figure it out up until the very end of their lives, so you're most definitely not alone, and there's a lot ahead of you.

In fact, I'm not even sure if it's so important to know "who you are and what you want". These things are flexible, they change from one year to another.

Plus I'm quite sure that 25 is still pretty young in regard to emotional maturity.

In any case, these characters are awesome and associating yourself with them is awesome! Like, yes, it doesn't happen terribly often in real life, but I hope you find your IRL analogue of their catharses.

(if it's of any consolation, I'm positive that I'll never get as emotionally mature as most people around me seem to be. Doesn't really bother me, though)

[(Anonymous)]

I've kind of started to think that most people around me aren't as emotionally mature as most people around me seem to be. If you see what I mean.

[dreemyweird]

Yeah, I totally see it, and I do suspect that you're right. But I turn out to be significantly below the average.

[writerserenyty]

This, for sure!

I'm graduating college soon (ceremony's tomorrow, I get my diploma...eventually) and I thought so many people had everything together. Then, talking to friends and acquaintances, I realized that I'm not the only one that doesn't have my shit together right now.

OP is most certainly not alone.

[sootyowl]

Me too, OP. I'm still lost with what to do with my life. But people keep telling me 25 is young in the scheme of things.

We still have time to figure stuff out :)

*snorts* Try being 35 and in the same boat.

[(Anonymous)]

THIS.

(32 and am still hoping I'll know my purpose in life maybe sometime before I die)

[(Anonymous)]

Chiming in with 26 and still stuck working out the kinks with what I want to do in life (God knows if I can just stick what I'm doing right now at this moment, I'll be set for life...but that's the thing: whether I do or not, I still have options, and I'm not dead set on any one of them yet). Hell; you don't just wake up one day and know what you want to do for the rest of your life. It'd be nice, but that's not how life works.

The most important thing is to keep your options open.

I'm in the same boat at 27. At least you're not alone, though I know that's small comfort.

[pts]

Sounds like someone needs to watch the best Ghibli movie of them all: Only Yesterday.

[(Anonymous)]

Gawd I love this movie but it fucked with my head and emotions so much cause I related to the main character SO MUCH. I'm about to be 27 and am single. I have a relatively decent job and support myself. However I HATE feeling like there's something wrong with me because I'm this old and still single, and it seemed like the main character went through the same thing, "why arent you married, when are you going to get married" blah blah. And I didn't really like the fact that her happiness in the movie seemed to come from the guy she met. He was awesome but I would have liked it better if she was happy on her own.

I dunno maybe I missed the point of the movie completely.

[pts]

I see your point, and totally understand your reaction. I must admit that's not my read of Taeko's decision at all.

I feel like the movie's resolution comes when she seizes her future for herself, and that's the lesson to be learned. It's nice that she gets a boyfriend out of the deal, but the point is not that what she needed all along was a boyfriend, but rather that life is full of second and third chances, if you're daring enough to take them.

[(Anonymous)]

I do like this take and can certainly see how it feeds into the movie. I guess for me it's harder to accept it because we don't really know anything about Taeko's current life, like how and why she ended up at the job she has or why exactly she never found a long term relationship. I enjoyed the movie but it was a bit frustrating for me how they centered so much around her life when she was very young. I was expecting it to give scenes of her life throughout her years instead of just her elementary years. I would have liked it better had it elaborated more why she was unhappy with her current lifestyle.

[bur]

I'm turning 30 in a couple months, have only just in the last couple months figured out what I want, and I don't have the balls to go through with it.

Remember! When you figure out where you want to be and who you want to be do it with courage! And if you currently have a job with 401k matching, try to time that figuring out thing to coincide with you not having to forfeit some of your retirement money. Seriously. It totally jacks with the dream momentum.
