I'm currently going through what I like to call the "Quarter-Life Crisis" its the new and improved take on the classic "Mid-Life Crisis" that my dad is classically fulfilling. The main difference between the two is of course money.In one corner of the arena we have the victim of a "Quarter-Life Crisis". He must make financial decisions like rather or not he should buy a pillow to sleep on or an umbrella to stay dry. Because buying both doesn’t fit into his budget.
In the other corner of the arena we have the victim of a "Mid-Life Crisis" who can't determine rather he should buy a blue, silver, or red sports car.
The fight begins and its nothing short of spectacular. But in the end who should I bet on for the win? The young gun with the determination and reason to buy basic items that fulfill a specific need? Or should I bet on the old gun that buys luxury items for pleasure purposes? In the end its simple. Everyone goes through a "Quarter-Life Crisis" just look at the people around you.
A "Mid-Life Crisis" is no different, you just need to have the determination to fight. To kick a little ass from time to time.
The best part is, I'm willing to fight, and I'm willing to kick a little ass. Plus my cousin gave me an umbrella, so I bought the pillow.

A quarter-life crisis is an interneting concept and it makes perfect sense. Thank God it has it's differences from the Mid-life crisis which my dad has been fulfilling for 12 years now. We would have been so lucky if his had just involved a shining new sports car! Thank God we are both nothing like our fathers.
Everyone does seem to be encountering this crisis right now. Everywhere you look our friends are going through life changing events - some positive and some negative. This time in our lives seems to be so important...like it is now that is going to determine where the rest of our lives take us. It kind of make me get the butterflies in a way....I'm excited to push through and see where life takes all of us. We have all come a long way from eating at the high school lunch table, although I have been so glad to see that we have all stayed true to ourselves and haven't strayed from that, you know?
You are a fighter..you always push through whatever life throws your way and I can not tell you how much I admire that about you. You never seem to be scared to "gamble" with your life or to take the chances that we all wish we had the courage to take. I only wish that some of that would rub off on me. I'm learning.
I am so happy to read that your gambles and chances have paid off and that you like where you are. It gives me hope that chances can work out and pay off.
You are doing great things, my friend and you can bet that I'll be checking this blog daily to read new updates! I think Matt and I might even start one...but in all honesty, I don't know that anyone would be as interested reading about our lives than I am with reading yours! Haha! Miss you!
I just realized that the most perfect song had come on when I was writing this..check out Ride Of Your Life by Oliver James...a sign maybe?
