ကျနော်နှင့် လေးပုံတစ်ပုံဘဝအကျပ်အတည်း

A few weeks ago, on the land of cloud cuckoo, I stumbled upon an article about the quarter-life crisis. Until then, I knew next to nothing about it. I know about the mid-life crisis, but the term "quarter-life crisis" was entirely new to me.

As I read through the article, I realised that all the symptoms seemed to resonate with me. I have been experiencing feelings of uncertainty and confusion about my career, relationships, and life in general. I feel lost and overwhelmed, unsure of what direction to take.

For the last couple of years, I have spent my time wandering aimlessly, feeling lost and disillusioned. It seems like nothing is going as planned, and I am dissatisfied with many things. I can’t seem to find my place, and I am always plagued by the thought that I have wasted good old years of my life on many many things that didn't ultimately fulfil me.

I got laid off a month ago, and now I am back to square one, wondering what to do next. Obviously, I have failed to appreciate the unexpected twists and turns that life can take now. It feels like it will take ages to accept the fact that the best things in life come from unexpected sources. This is now like one of those familiar scenarios - the brain takes it, but the heart says hell no.

Perhaps the quarter-life crisis is a natural part of growing up, and everyone experiences it in their own way? I will figure this out, just like many before me did? At least, I ought to find great comfort in knowing that I am not alone in my struggles, and that it is maybe okay to feel lost sometimes?
