My birthday coming up *oh shut up, i’m not trying to promote my birth date! I feel right down in the gutter. I hate it. I know it’s supposed to be a happy occasion with birthday cakes, presents and well wishes. But you know what, i just don’t feel like celebrating… coz i can’t find any reason to celebrate. Turning 26 is not worth throwing any confetti at all. I am such a complainer.
Now you must be thinking “Here goes another woman’s whine about her wrinkly skin, eye bag and bye-bye hand (wave bye bye and the wobbly flab under your arm is bye-bye hand lor). Woman hor always scared to get old. Scared get fat lar. Scared people know her age lar. Whatever lar!“
But this time is different. I think… no… i know i’m having a quarter life crisis. Out of 16 symptoms, i hit 15… i mean like WTF?!
Characteristics of quarter-life crisis may include:
(Taken from wikipedia)
- feeling “not good enough” because one can’t find a job that is at one’s academic/intellectual level
- frustration with relationships, the working world, and finding a suitable job or career
- confusion of identity
- insecurity regarding the near future
- insecurity concerning long-term plans, life goals
- insecurity regarding present accomplishments
- re-evaluation of close interpersonal relationships
- disappointment with one’s job
- nostalgia for university, college, high school or elementary school life
- tendency to hold stronger opinions
- boredom with social interactions
- loss of closeness to high school and college friends
- financially-rooted stress (overwhelming college loans, unanticipatedly high cost of living, etc.)
- loneliness
desire to have children- a sense that everyone is, somehow, doing better than you
Reality bites… big time… sigh…
