I feel like a caterpillar, hibernating in a cocoon, if you can forgive the cheesy analogy.
It's really strange, because that's something a thirteen year old girl would say. And although I successfully navigated the adolescent thing, I feel like now I've come to a similar point.
Is this normal? Nobody mentioned anything like this to me. It seems a little silly. I feel like I'm on the very edge of life changing... That just around the corner is something new, unexperienced before. I expect any day now to wake up, and be something else, or at least, changed.
I'm 28. I don't think it's a midlife crisis or anything, it doesn't strike me as something negative or scary. It's more like a fuller realization of who and what I am. But, I thought I had that figured out already, you know?
I can't really explain it better than that. Smart people, speak up if you know something I don't.
Posted by Shannon at February 28, 2004 01:21 PM | TrackBackim 31 and have had feelings several times that its like a new meaning or something is suppose to happen ..
At times i feel like a teen again .. wanting to feel free wanting to do things for the sake of just doing it .. sometimes its the carefree feelings or something ..
ive asked myself is it cause im missing things in my life and i seek part of that or am i changing .. it might sound funny but sometimes theres things i really like and then the next day i dont anymore .. like going to the store i see cloths i would NEVER think of seeing people in or such then the next time im like you this is pretty cool .. so i guess we all have these and im sure more is to come to ..
Posted by: matt_31 at February 29, 2004 03:04 AMSome sociologists and psychologists have identified a "quarter-life crisis." You may be going through just such an event, if you put any creedence in stuff like that. I have heard it said that one's twenties are spent really figuring out himself (or herself.) I would probably agree with that. Look at me, for example. I've spent half of my twenties pursuing one career only to discover that I really feel called in a whole different direction. You'll get through this, whatever it is.
