¼ life crisis

It's CNY..happy times for many..

..which also means the dateline i set for myself is approaching..

I had been telling pple ever since i came back from UK tat i'll decide by CNY if i'm going back at all.. in the past 2 weeks or so..i did make some decisions..professional life..personal life..many many thoughts have ran thru my mind recently..need somemore time to sort them out..& it just so happened tat there was an article about quarterlife crisis in the papers yest..shall take the lazy way out again..

Help, I'm 25 going on 13 (ok, so i'm not 25..but hey, it's just the article title)

'..According to Wikipedia, the term 'quarterlife crisis' was first coined around 1998 and it usually occurs shortly after a young person begins his or her professional life. Symptoms include insecurity about the near future and present accomplishments, a confusion about one's identity, and a nostalgia for the not-so-distant past..this period in one's life is a significant and often traumatic transition to adulthood..it also feels like a period when all the protective buffers tat the guardian angels in your life put up to protect you start to crumble..'

On the brighter side, it was also mentioned in the article tat '..In any case, those afflicted by the quarterlife crisis should probably enjoy it while it lasts. Afterall, being a 20something doesn't last forever, and there are certain advantages to this particular age-specific predicament..While the uncertainty of this phase of life can be bewildering, this unmapped terrain of life still in flux can also be exhilarating, with all manners of dreams still seemingly possible, if only because they remain, for the time being, not yet attempted..'

My fave line in the article? 'Happiness is about the fight for ideals, not about getting what you want'

And as for me, I'm glad i fought for mine..
