PERSONAL THOUGHTS:
It has come to my attention that in the last few years or so, many have suffered from the "Quarter Life Crisis." Some of you may think to yourself, "What the hell is that." Well, its simple, just like a mid-life crisis, in the last 8 years or so, there has been concern regarding the quarter life crisis. It usually hits those from the age of 23-27 and it typically involves a slight depression, frustration, and longing for self-worth.
For those who were traditional college students, those who actually attended college from the age of 18-21, when they have been out of college for a few years, they tend to focus on the following:
1) "Damn, am I really doing what I was meant to do with my life?" 2) Did I %#&@$! up and pick the wrong major in college?" 3) Why can't I seem to find "the one" for me. 4) Will I be one of those people who is 30 and still in the same place when I was 23? 5) Why have I been through soo much bull%#&@$! thus far, with no light at the end of the tunnel?
The list of questions that we ask ourselves can go on and on. The level of frustration that comes with this causes a person to change themselves slightly to avoid or shelter their true feeling at all cost. It is part of the normal progression from being 20 years old and moving toward 27. Some say, Hey, its just a part of the maturity process and moving on to that other stage of life. But the big question is, if one chooses to change themselves to simply avoid or shelter their feelings and thoughts, have they in fact matured or moved on? Are they really ready for that next stage of their life?
Most are not. Which is why we tend to do the so called dumb things. For instance, we tend to fall in love too hard or not enough at all. We hold on to everything from the past as a constant reminder for the future. Instead of focusing on ourselves we would rather blame others for everything. We tend to let go any relationship that we have with someone we know are good to us for silly reasons, when the truth is that we have realized that we were never good enough for them in the first place.
Of course all of the above are things that a person can find within themselves. Finding, realizing, and facing them will free you in more ways than you can imagine. It can prepare you for the next stage of your life and you will be able to handle and focus on those things, such as, career, relationships, children, and family. Its the key to finding direction. So the question is presented. Have you looked within yourself and found yours?
"Funny Experiences in Atlanta"
-Atlanta is totally different from St. louis or the general midwest. This city is so materialistic. There are some who focus on what you have or don't have as an indicator of the type of person you are or can be. I've even been told the following "Oh, you mean you came here to start your own firm, well you're not making the big bucks now, but in a few years you will, so I guess I can give you my number." That was a strange occurrence especially since I was actually getting at her friend that went to the restroom. Don't get me wrong, its the same for some guys out here as well. Women just can't be nice along with a great personality, there has to be more. Some of my guys say "Hey, this is Atlanta with all of these fine women, you have to be above and beyond to lock me down." I did eventually talk to the girl that I wanted to talk to and she wasn't the same as her friend, plus the friend tried to act as if she didn't try to come at me while her girl was in the restroom.
-Due to the picture that I have below, I've gotten a lot of messages saying, "Hey, you know you kind of look like Ne-Yo." However, after meeting this dude, its apparent that he looks nothing like me plus I'm almost a whole foot taller the he is. None the less, I went out one night to a lounge, that actually turned out to be a club atmosphere, "those that know me, know that I'm not into clubs," a girl comes up and says "I like your new song." I thought to myself, "she must be missing her contact lenses or something." To make it even worse, one of the guys that was hanging out there was like, "Hey, Ne-Yo doesn't want to be bothered right now."
