Last Saturday, my lovely friend from Jakarta visited me. It was so nice to spend my day chatting with smarty fun friend. We talked much about our life….mostly still about Quarter – life Crisis (lately this topic has became our most favorite stuff to discuss). Yup…of course that’s because currently we are facing our twenty something crisis. We had discussed the same old thing couple of times, and still never get bored, dunno why, perhaps coz we always lustful to disclosure these thing to share with. It seems this is gonna be one of never ending case till we get thirty :D. Actually this topic is awfully popular nowadays. There are so many novel concerning to this topic had published. And I had read some :D.... Accidentally last night, I found an inspiring article which related to this topic in my document….but unfortunately, I had forgot where did I get this article. Anyway thanks to the author where and who ever you are. Here’s I attach the article….so welcome to quarter life zone :D


Being Twenty-Something: they call it the "Quarter-life Cris,is." It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realizing that there are a lot of 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, maybe, 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 most important ones. What you do not realize is that they are realizing it as well and not really cold or catty or mean or insincere, but they just as confused as you.

You look at your job. It is not even close to what you thought you would be doing or maybe you are looking for one and realizing that you are going to have to start at the bottom and are scared. You miss the comforts of college, of groups, of socializing with the same people on a constant basis. But then you realize that maybe they weren't so great after all.

You are beginning to understand yourself and what you want and do not want. Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what others are doing and find yourself judging a bit more than usual because suddenly you realize that you have certain boundaries in your life and add things to your list of what is acceptable and what is not. You are insecure and then 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 and wondering why you can't meet anyone decent enough to get to know better. You love someone but maybe love someone else too and cannot figure out why you are doing this because you are not a bad person. Random hook ups start to look cheap and 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 and money and 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!

What you may not realize is that everyone reading this relates to it. We are in our best of times and our worst of times, trying as hard as we can to figure this whole thing out.
