Quarter-Life Crisis (November 2, 2006)

I turned 23 last October. No big deal about aging, but apparently I realized I still haven't found what I'm looking for. Worse, I don't even have the slightest idea what I'm looking for. Does everyone go through this phase or it's just me? I have a nice job, an awesome family, set of good friends, and a mouth-watering better half. There is nothing more to ask. Yet at the back of my head I still feel something is lacking. This is the point in my life wherein I tend to reassess if where I am now is where I really wanted to be; the point wherein life is bombarding me with tough questions; the point wherein my mind never stops playing tricks on me.

Jab Buhay told me not to rush. Raffy Bariso suggested I get myself grounded. Pio Hernandez mentioned about applying for the job my heart desires despite the salary, say, uhmmmm, P7,000. Erin Cabanawan said, "I just turned 23 about 23 years ago, and now i feel like i'm 80, struggling to rewind the clock and screaming 'where have the years gone?'"

I hope this is just a phase.
Just a phase.
