my-memoirs | MEMORY FROM 2008

Is it ME or Am I having a delayed Quarter-Life Crisis?

LOCATION: My Room , Philippines

YEAR: 2008

TAGS: life, happiness, quarter-life crisis

PUBLISHED: March 3, 2008

Just recently I’m having this feeling of incompleteness in me. I could not exactly grasp the feeling but it has been nagging me for some time now. I’m not exactly sure where it all began. It’s just that I could not shake the feeling, and it is eating through my very soul.

 

I could probably say that maybe because I’m working at home now as opposed to my corporate career more than two years ago. I see things now that might have been there a long time ago, but I was too busy working to even notice it.

 

I just don’t know what was wrong I was constantly sad. Then one night as I was listening to a song…

 

“I've been living with a shadow overhead,
I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed,
I've been lonely for so long,
Trapped in the past,
I just can't seem to move on!”

 

… It just finally hit me… I was having a delayed Quarter-Life Crisis.

 

All my life at a very early age of 17 years old I started working, I got married when I was 18 years old… and now when destiny chose to take my life in slow motion, I just can’t help but see the things that I missed… I missed the simple things that could have made me happy, I missed the life of just being carefree, and I missed the things that I should have done, but most of all I just missed… being me.

Marriage, migration, divorce, attempted suicide, telepathy, home schooling my son, death threats...I wish things would slow down! (3/12/2008)

You are so right, life indeed is like an eternity of soap operas with real people playing a part, it's just that sometimes we do not like the part we are playing. But I guess we are in no position to choose or we do but we made the wrong choices... aside from the fact that there is no rewinds... thanks =) (3/14/2008)
