JAKARTA - Musician Rayhan Noor admitted that he had experienced many concerns and doubts throughout his life before he turned 30 years old.

Rayhan said that his times of confusion began to feel very much around the age of 25 years. He said his friends' achievements in that age range made him worried.

"It seems that many people have faster paths and all kinds of things. Those are the phases we compare ourselves with and all kinds of things," Rayhan said as quoted by Antara, Wednesday.

Rayhan recounted that one of the most excited moments he had ever felt was when he decided to leave his career as a dentist to become a musician.

When he decided to follow his dream as a musician, Rayhan admitted that this was not an easy thing. Over the years, Rayhan tried to convince his parents about his dream as a musician.

"That's all (deciding to be a musician) means I have to repeat everything from scratch. Family permission is also not easy. For years. While asking permission, I also have to prove to them that I can survive and live from here," said Rayhan.

However, Rayhan said, according to him, there is not one definite way to overcome concerns in the age range of 25 to 30 years. This is normal and many others feel it.

Moreover, stereotypes that exist in society also often cause anxiety for people who have reached the age of a quarter of a century. For example, having to get married, having a supportive job, to a stable economy.

The only way to get through anxiety at that age is to do your best and never stop. Because if you stop, someone will lose a lot of things," said Rayhan.

"I feel for sure that feeling will always be there, it turns out. At any age, any decade we live. So, just live it as well as possible. I have accepted that it will be part of us as human beings," concluded Rayhan.
