quarter life crisises. man, what kind of bull shit is that anyway? people in their mid-twenties are supposed to be virile and relatively happy. they are in their Prime. prime, that means it only goes down from here. we should all be walking on air and shit. so why is it that i and every other person my age whom i know are totally losing our shit right now? i used to really honestly think it was because of the impending apocalypse. i joke about it a lot, but i really kind of believe it too. i mean, i don't think 'young people freaking the fuck' out is some kind of pestilence thrown down upon the earth by the hand of god or anything like that. i do think that it is a very important reflection of how our society is functioning right now. if we can not keep our young people healthy and mentally sound, then something is not working. right? so, if society is falling apart, well, that's an apocalypse or sorts. right? of course, i'm not a scientist or a researcher, i don't have any proof that most young people even are going through crisises. maybe only 4% of people in their mid-twenties are going through a pre-mature crisis. i don't know. i am only speaking about my sphere of being. i very well could simply be in the heart of a swarm of crazies, but it seems to me, from here where i stand, like an extremely common occurrence. so hey, if it's just me, that's my problem. but if not, it's bad.

Growing up you have the sense that life has a direction and every day is leading forward. An ending seems natural.
I think 25 is kind of like the end of the first narrative, make sure to start another one.
