qtr life crisis
For me the quarter life crisis is about internalizing the fact that I only have a finite amount of time in this world and no matter how hard I try, I’ll never get to do and experience everything. That makes me feel a bit of urgency to decide which of several major forks in the road I want to travel in my life. My adult life has been so focused on achieving financial security that, ...
I’ll leave you with a partially-applicable sports metaphor. I played goalkeeper in soccer growing up. Penalty kicks are awful because the guy is so close and has the opportunity to kick it as hard as he can and you can’t move until he does. If he’s good, he’ll score… unless you make a lucky guess. My high school coach always said, “pick a side and dive”....
wise words
Every person, if they live a long enough and varied enough life, gets to experience all four sides to this unfortunate question: 1. Being rejected for a reason you don’t respect. This feels unfair. 2. Rejecting someone for a reason you don’t really respect, but can’t ignore. This feels cruel. 3. Being wanted for a reason you don’t respect. This feels creepy. 4. Wanting...

The Four Agreements, by Don Miguel Ruiz
1. Be impeccable with your word. Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of the word in the direction of truth and love. 2. Don’t take anything personally. Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are...

I love when life surprises you with unexpected friendships. There is something super satisfying about a blooming relationship with someone that you never imagined you’d be close with.

Someone said, “life is a series of average events punctuated by peak experiences.”
It’s totally true.. and those peak experiences can be few and far in between. The truth is (my) life is pretty average for the vast majority of it— which is why I never feel i have things worth saying when friends ask “how are you?” b/c the truth is- nothing much. Even if...

Overadjusting and humiliating
I don’t know how to:
Be assertive without being mean
Be ambitious without being manipulative
Be realistic without being cynical
Be nice without being a pushover
Be yourself without being selfish,
Etc.
I tried being the first part and became really the second. I don’t know how to balance and how to live life- are the side effects inevitable? Have I been construing a too bleak...
