in a few hours i will be 23 and i think i am having a quarter-life crisis!! let me explain first what quarter-life crisis is. according to www.ask.com “The quarterlife crisis, or QLC, is essentially a period of anxiety, uncertainty and inner turmoil that often accompanies the transition to adulthood.” in short, this is the time where we have to figure out who we are and where were going.we feel unsure about the future. the big question is what does the future holds for us? are we going to be successful?

there are manyattributes  of a quarter-life crisis and here are some of the lists i feel right now:

• insecurity regarding the fact that their actions are meaningless
• insecurity regarding present accomplishments

• disappointment with one’s job
• loss of closeness to high school and college friends
• loneliness

and the strongest sentiment i have is

• a sense that everyone is, somehow, doing better than oneself.

i don’t mean to give out a negative vibes but this is exactly how feel. maybe i am having birthday jitters?

i do think that all of my friends are doing better than me. my showbiz friends obviously are getting more projects while my college friends  are either taking up law, medicine or masteral. sometimes i wonder am i going to be successful. what has the universe in store for me? the people who loves me  kept on reminding me that i can do so much more and that i can do other things if acting career will not work out. i agree with them because soon i will have my diploma. i am just not confident enough. i am afraid to step outside the box,  to leave my comfort zone.

crossroad? yes i am in a point in my life whether i should pursue acting or take another road. both are uncertain.. i wanted to both an i wanted to do a lot of things -I WANTED TO DO MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!
