*Quarter Life Crisis Alert*

I received a mail from a fellow twenty-something friend of mine and these are some of the extracts:

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, 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.

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.

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.

Do you relate to that as well? But I guess at every point in our life, there's this feeling we'll be in a crisis... But at all times we can be in the BEST times of our lives. Go live it up and enjoy life to the fullest. I personally think I'm in the best times of my life :) *Yeah*
