They call it the "Quarter-life Crisis"
It is when you stop going along with the crowd and
start realizing that there are many things about
yourself that you didn't know and may not like.
You 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.
You start realizing that people are selfish, and that,
May be, those friends that you thought you were so close to
Aren’t exactly the greatest people you have ever met,
And the people you have lost touch with
Are some of the important ones.
What you don't recognize is that they are realizing that too,
And aren't really cold, catty, mean or insincere,
But that they are as confused as you.
You look at your job... and it is not even close to
what you thought you would be doing, or maybe you are
looking for a job and realizing that you are going to
Have to start at the bottom and that scares you.
Your opinions have gotten stronger.
You see what others are doing
And find yourself judging more than usual
because suddenly you realize that you have certain
boundaries in your life and are constantly adding
things to your list of what is acceptable and what isn't.
One minute, you are insecure and then the next, secure.
You laugh and cry with the greatest force of your life.
You feel alone and scared and confused. Suddenly,
change is the enemy and you try and cling on to the past
with dear life, but soon realize that the past is drifting
further and further away, and there is nothing to do
But stay where you are or move forward.
You get your heart broken and wonder how someone you
loved could do such damage to you.
Or you lie in bed and wonder
Why you can't meet anyone decent enough that
You want to get to know better.
Or maybe you love someone but love someone else too
And cannot figure out why you are doing this because
You know that you aren't a bad person.
One night stands and random hook ups start to look cheap.
Getting wasted and acting like an idiot starts to look pathetic.
You go through the same emotions and questions over and over,
And talk with your friends about the same topics
because you cannot seem to make a decision.
You worry about loans, money, the future and making a
life for yourself... and while winning the race would
be great, right now you'd just like to be a contender!
