i'm not sure if it's because this year is the year i turn 25... or because everyone around me is getting engaged and married... but i'm starting to reflect and think a lot more than i used to.
it's the quarter life crisis... the point in life when you start thinking about where your career is pointing you towards... and where every relationship is heading. those two points have been the biggest topics in all of my conversations with friends recently... it's as if all of us are going thru the same thing.
are we all happy at our jobs? or is it time to start expanding and trying something new. for the past few months, my coworker and i have been discussing possibilities of starting our own company... totally not related to engineering. we've realized that this is not our calling... maybe something else, something different. it's time to make a change... time to leave from the comfort and try something new, take that next step and jump.
everyone around me is in a long term relationship and getting engaged... is it that point in our lives where we grow up and start thinking about families and futures and lifelong commitments? back in the day, all of our plans were to be married at about 26, children at 28... those numbers are coming at us at full speed. what's happening? when did we reach this age? my friend and coworker just turned 30... she felt like it came out of nowhere. it's like a slap in the face. but she's ready for it. she's set and settled... it's alright that not everything worked out perfectly... but she's ready to grow older.
one of my coworkers told me that people can sense when others are at that stage in their lives... the turning point.... the fork in the road... that time when everything becomes a dilemma, when decisions need to be made, when paths need to be taken. it's time to venture off of that path that parents paved for us... and its time to start new.
cheers... to old friends... and to our future. (taryn, kim, reiko, me, dari and candace)
