Quarter Life Crisis... read on!

This is so right: life is never easy but it’s worth living. Full of drama that makes it exciting. Is there something WRONG with me?

I just want to share something...something most of us can definitely relate to...if there's a midlife crisis, then read this:

...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...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!

...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...

so ur experiencing it?

[borjyborj]

i guess so. i believe that all of us experience this. it's just that we are not open to accept this fact.

[carbrill]

because of uncertain things in this world and the rapid changing that occurs everyday people tends to question ones stand because they look at the negative side rather than the other side...

[borjyborj]

point taken. better said, look at life at a different perspective. if it rains, be happy because you won't water the plants. if you were given lemons instead of apples, enjoy! make lemon juice.

para sa mga naai quarter life crisis.. kani akong ma dedicate ninyo nga kanta...


test mic.. test mic.. mic test...

What has life to offer me when I grow old?
What's there to look forward to beyond the biting cold
They say it's difficult, yes, stereotypical.

What's there beyond sleep, eat, work in this cruel life
Ain't there nothin' else 'round here but human strife
'Cause they say it's difficult, yes, stereotypical
Gotta be conventional, you can't be so radical.

Chorus:
So I sing this song to all of my age
For these are the questions we've got to face
For in this cycle that we call life
We are the ones who are next in line
We are next in line.

What has life to offer me when I grow old?
What's there to look forward to beyond the biting cold
'Cause they say it's difficult, yes, stereotypical
Gotta be conventional, you can't be so radical.

So I sing this song to all of my age
For these are the questions we've got to face
For in this cycle that we call life
We are the ones who are next in line
We are next in line
Oh-hoh, we are next in line.

Bridge:
And we gotta work, we gotta feel (we gotta feel)
Let's open our eyes and do whatever it takes
We gotta work, we gotta feel (we gotta feel)

Let's open our eyes, oh-woh

And sing this song to all of our age
For these are the questions we've got to face
For in this cycle that we call life
We are the ones who are next in line

Sing this song for me
Sing this song for me

Anxiety sets in when you already saw the realities of life,
but just follow your human instincts and judge according to capacity
and needs and everything will come out just fine.
