quarter life crisis.
today i learnt they call it the “quarter-life crisis.” according to the man wearing pin striped suit pants in North Sydney, it is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realising that there are many things about yourself that you didn’t know and may not like. you may start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two, but then get scared because you barely know where you are now, not just because you’re not good at using the map on your iphone. i’ve started realising that people are selfish and that, maybe, those friends that i thought i was so close to aren’t exactly the greatest people i have ever met, and the people i have lost touch with are some of the most important ones. however today, what i learnt was, what i have failed to recognise is that those friends, those people, are realising that too, and aren’t really cold, mean, or insincere, but that they are just as confused as myself. i look at my job… and it is not even close to what i thought i would be doing. my opinions have gotten stronger. i see what others are doing and find myself, a person who tries very hard not to judge, judging more than usual because i suddenly realise that i have certain boundaries in my life and am constantly adding things to my list of what is reasonable and what isn’t. One minute, i’m are insecure and then the next, secure. i realise though, you’re in the exact same postion as me, you may not work where i work, but you’re in the exact same place.
we should talk.
