Comprende amigo ?

Got this fwd in my mail a few weeks back ...

>> For those in their twenty-something's...this puts it all into words

>> perfectly. They call it the "Quarter-life Crisis."



Some things seem to match, but some dont, read on ...



>> It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realizing that

>> there are a lot of things about yourself that you didn't know and may or

>> may not like.

I'd agree.. I am more inquisitve than before...however.. i get answers to most of my questions.

>> You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two,

>> but then get scared because you barely know where you are now.



Umm. I'm not insecure, but I've grown to be more ambitious

in my professional life and proven to myself that breakthroughs

however big or small dont happen all that infrequently if the job

is done passionately. So, I'd say, I'm getting more confident, but

 will never be blase or over-confident.



>> You look at your job. It is not even close to what you thought you would

>> be doing or maybe you are looking for one and realizing that you are going

>> to have to start at the bottom and are scared.



Exact opposite ! I'm really lucky with my job, I know the

state of some of my buddies, who still dont have work. I'm

invariably challenged with tasks, that prove my competency,

and earn me some well deserved respect and satisfaction.



>> You miss the comforts of college, of groups, of socializing with the same

>> people on a constant basis. But then you realize that maybe they weren't

>> so great after all.



True, that I miss the comforts of college, but back in college I dreamed of

 being where I am today, so its all good.



>> Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what others are doing and find

>> yourself judging a bit more than usual because suddenly you realize that

>> you have certain boundaries in your life and add things to your list of

>> what is acceptable and what is not. You are insecure and then secure.



True.



>> You laugh and cry with the greatest force of your life. You feel alone and

>> scared and confused.

>> Suddenly change is the enemy and you try and cling on to the past with

>> dear life but soon realize that the past is drifting further and further

>> away and there is nothing to do but stay where you are or move forward.



I'd take it more gracefully.



>> You get your heart broken and wonder how someone you loved could do such

>> damage to you or you lay in bed and wonder why you can't meet anyone

>> decent enough to get to know better.



Oh so true.



>> You love someone but maybe love someone else too and cannot figure out why

>> you are doing this because you are not a bad person.



err. no comment. : )



>> One night stands and random hook ups start to look cheap and getting

>> wasted and acting like an idiot starts to look pathetic. You go through

>> the same emotions and questions over and over and talk with your friends

>> about the same topics because you cannot seem to make a decision.



first line : no comment ;) But rest of it is very true.



>> You worry about loans and money and the future and making a life for

>> yourself and while winning the race would be great, right now you'd just

>> like to be a contender!



As long as I earn the respect, and give my task my best shot, I'm satisfied.



>> What you may not realize is that everyone reading this relates to it. We

>> are  in our best of times and our worst of times, trying as hard as we can

>> to figure this whole thing out.



Im sure this is true.
