Quarter-life crises?
I’m pretty sure they exist, and I’m pretty sure I’ve been descending into one since, say, my 23rd birthday. A quick google on the subject turned up some lame-looking mass-market book on the subject and a similar book sold on Amazon.com. How ironic.
As I discovered about one year ago, graduating from undergrad is a pretty anticlimatic experience. So too is one’s first job, even if it comes with nice benefits. I suppose it’s nice to have cash, but I’ve discovered cash really doesn’t matter that much. I’d rather be expanding my mind doing interesting things. I’m still trying to figure out how to have most of both, but at least I know that there is little, if any intersection between that ideal and my current state.
I think Ryan is in a similar state. I guess he lasted longer on the road to crisis than I did. So what happens when two people in a relationship hit a quarter life crisis at the same time? Maybe they cancel eachother out? That would be cool.
Anyway, I’m really looking forward to going to Copenhagen next week. Mostly because I haven’t seen Ryan in like three months, but also because I get to melt into a world away from the grind for exactly four days.
