Quarter-Life Crisis? Perhaps...
I've gotta say, I've been feeling kind of weird for a few months now. I first noticed it when I was not at all motivated by my history quizzes or excited by the bits of knowledge it constantly throws at me that I normally rattle off to my boyfriend and family while they roll their eyes and appease me by telling me how insanely cool it is that the influenza epidemic wiped out millions. There are just a lot of things that I want and with the decisions I've made in the past it doesn't seem likely that I'll get them. For example, I really want to live in the city for awhile, and I'm not sure why, but it's really important to me. When I go to Chicago with people the first thing they say when we get back to Westville is that the city is nice but it really makes you appreciate how great such a small town is. I never say that. I love the city and if anything getting back to Westville makes me miss it. Now if I had gone back a few years ago and picked going to Purdue for fashion merchandising that dream would be almost a certainty in the very near future. But I didn't, I picked social studies ed at Manchester which seemed like a really great decision at the time, but now sometimes I question it. On a somewhat smaller note, I'm also conflicted about my friends. I've got two really close friends and neither of them are very much like me. Now I see Sex and the City and how different those girls are and how it makes their friendship better, but sometimes I just want someone to really understand how I feel because they feel the same way too, not because empathy allows them to figure out how I might be feeling. Well anyway, things have been weird and I felt like letting a few of them go. Maybe I'm going through a quarter-life crisis. Does that exist?
