I am 25 years old and I am going through my quarterlife crisis. I am working full-time (more like extra full-time) and in a committed relationship. My work takes over my life. By the end of each day I am too tired to spend time with my man or call my friends or even paint my nails! Is this normal?
When I was 18, I thought people who were 25 were so old. I thougth that their lives had pretty much ended and all they had left to do was to get married and have kids. When I graduated highschool I thought that by age 25, I would be set financially and know all the answers and have travelled the world. I was naiive.
At 25, I feel like I'm not where I want to be.. yet. I have so much more I want to do and I feel like I am running out of time. Soon, I will be 30!!!! Omg... that will be another crisis...
But I am fortunate to have friends who are also going through the same thing (right ladies? lol) who can help me during this time. Funny how when we talk about it; it seems like we are going through the same thing in different variations.
mmmhmmm, girl i feel u. Just tonight, I was feeling bogged down with all this beyond full time working thing.. and since we're all "growing up", there's nobody around here to just meet up with for a drink, unwind, and just chat... even while feeling like I should "settle down" Who is there to do that with?!? So girl, ur one step ahead!! I figure, we're still young enough to work hard .. so sow them seeds now and u'll reap the rewards later!! And let us not forget that you're already moving up that ladder!! =) miss u.
