Quarter life
Do I look a day over 25? I sure hell don’t feel 5 days older than 25….
25 is…. old…. mature… more responsibilities …. no excess on car insurance… quarter life crisis..
Quarter life crisis, to me, is the “what am I doing with my life?” crisis, as opposed to the mid life crisis of “what have I done with my life?”
I am definitely feeling that. I know that I’m nowhere near “there” in the journey of life, but I thought I’d be somewhere. Somewhere that’s stable. Stability is a big thing for me, I don’t like change, mainly cos I don’t like the thought of something new that I’m not good at. Yes I know, it takes time, it’s the journey not the destination blah blah blah. Well I still don’t like it. Sure I DO get the satisfaction when I DO get good at something and am usually quite proud of myself for sticking with things and getting better at it, but the thought of having to start something new is the daunting part for me.
So now, at 25, the biggest part of “what am I doing with my life?” is referring to a job/career. Having fucked around with mortgages for 18 months, now I’m in credit insurance which is something I am starting to get interested in. Too bad I can’t stick with it.
As for other parts of life, well that ain’t going too bad- got a few great friends (which is all you need really- not quantity but quality), family is doing great, got myself a man (yay for me). So I really shouldn’t complain =)
With only 2 months left before I leave for New York, I have to start preparing myself for this new, and unexpected, chapter of the quarter of my life
