Quarter-Life Crisis



And I’m literally stuck.

I’m supposed to write a post-birthday blog days ago but I’ve been trying to find that right spot/feeling/inspiration that I normally have. The events these past few days actually made me realize that I am really facing the so-called, infamous “life’s reality”. Don’t get me wrong, I love composing creative write-ups! I’ve been doing a lot of it since my student years and I can say that I am pretty good with it. But this time… it’s just… blah…

Confused. Where have I been these past 25 years?

As a child, I remember myself wondering how I would be like when I grow up. I used to imagine (yes, I have a very imaginative mind) myself being on top and excelling on everything I do. I knew back then that I have the guts and guns to fulfill this—and somehow I succeeded on some of them during my school years. So I graduated. Then I was a writer, 4 months; Graphic Specialist/Assistant Trainer, 1 year and 5 months. Account Executive for OOH, 1 year and 7 months. Now, where to go?

Happy. Who wouldn’t be with all my experiences these past 25 years?

I can boast that I was raised by a family that believes positivity can overpower even the loudest noise of negativity; that mistakes are just stumbling blocks and lessons are stepping stones toward a brighter and stable future. I have never forgotten all about it. I doubt that I will ever forget it. This belief will be forever carved in my heart. Now, what hinders me to share this?

THIS is my quarter-life crisis: I am stuck in between a confused mind and a happy heart.

When will this end?
What will happen next after this ends?
How will I manage to cope up with the happenings beyond this end?

That, I do not know as of the moment. Only one thing’s for sure: I will not let myself be stuck here because I will find the answers.

Two steps backward...

Maybe this time, I'll be lucky...

I know that fate has its own course, and somehow, sometime, it will lead us to that point of no return: success. But is there such a thing as being at the right place at the wrong time when it comes to this life phenomenon?

Just a few days back, I've been rejoicing like there's no tomorrow. That gleeful feeling of triumph over winning the Quidditch Cup is so similar to what I've been experiencing inside. I knew then that I'll be waking up from a terrible nightmare in just a few days...

The dream. That dream. It's so close, yet—just a couple of hours ago—it's so far once again. To be honest, I'm still hoping for the best. God will provide what's best for me. No buts, no ifs, even if I want to. All I know now is that I'm very, very down emotionally but my spirit is still soaring like the Golden Snitch.

Fate is indeed full of surprises, a collective experience of downfalls and joys. Maybe I'm just at the wrong place at the right time? Honestly, I'm convinced that I am.

Not a loser anymore, like the last time, and the time before...
