An Open Letter To Your Quarter-Life Crisis

DEC. 10, 2012 

By SILVIA KAPROV

Dear [x],

I’d like to know how many weary souls bogged down by a plague of First World Problems have contributed to this sorry image:

I. Would. Like. To. Know…!

Just how many misguided youths gazing into the glowing abyss of their MacBook screens have sought guidance from our great internet oracle.

Sitting in a room, solo. Lost in thought. Feeling wretched, dejected.

[x]! Has this been YOU?

If you’ve ever thought for a second that you were alone in thinking you are lost, confused, discouraged, not good enough, or any combination thereof, LET THIS BE EVIDENCE TO THE CONTRARY, [x]!

Such is the plight of our generation. Not that this class of confusion is reserved for the young — surely some older, wiser individuals contributed a query or two to this crude sampling of collective consciousness.

But for pity’s sake, do not let the Cult of the Quarter Life Crisis define you.

Define YOU, [x], you magnificent bastard, you.

Dearest [x],

your now.

I haven't posted something for over a month now -because I was so
busy, or not! Heh, but there are still some entries I wanna post.
Hopefully I can find some time to write down all of them in the
following days.

Anyway, I was with a friend last night, catching up with some stuffs
while having coffee when he asked me about future. "What are your
plans for your future now?" This question somehow caught me off guard.
Seriously. Hehe. Not that I'm lacking interest or any plans for my
future or something like that. But(if you know me personally, you'd
know.) I already had one before. A solid plan for my future. Our
future. *ssh, forget about it* And now that everything changed, I was
caught up. I didnt know how and what to answer him. I was just
whistling there (i know its a very unprofessional way to do but its
been my favorite escapisim these days.LOL) thinking of answers, and it
gave me headache. Shesh. As if I was brainstorming. Phew! Then I
realized, why give a fuck. Future is ooooover there! Waaaay far from
today. Why would I let the future ruin my today? In the first place, I
am happy with how my life is going NOW, with what is happening with my
life NOW, with the people who are in my life NOW and where my life is
taking me NOW. My family are awesome, we're cool, no problems so far.
I'm also in good terms with my friends, I'm doing pretty good with my
job now, I'm okay with my boss and with my officemates as well.. So
far so good. So, why not just live in the present. Live and enjoy the
moment. Nothing is wrong with planning your future but if its
affecting your present, uurgh, just screw it and just live today.
