My Quarter Life Crisis
I've heard of a "Mid Life Crisis," but what's a "Quarter Life Crisis?" Well I'm not sure either, but I think it goes something like this:
This is my journey.
I'd say I'm a bit past a quarter of my years at a ripe 28 years old, but "Third Life Crisis" doesn't have that ring to it and unless I intend to take up a hard drug addiction or extreme cow tipping in the near future, Mid Life doesn't apply either. So Quarter Life, it is. Crisis, though? Is it really a crisis? I suppose it depends on which dictionary entry you choose. Most of them have an ominous undertone; one where you can expect the worst. But I choose the first: a stage in a sequence of events at which the trend of all future events, especially for better or for worse, is determined; turning point (www.dictionary.com). So why this turning point? There has been no major upheaval in my life. I feel no uncertainty in general. And yet I feel the need to uproot my life and do something great. I don't intend to change the world, for I know I cannot. I don't even plan on changing anyone's life but my own. I feel I have the opportunity to move beyond the mundane and onto an adventure and I am going to take it.
This is my journey.
