Quarter Life Crisis

Just found this piece of text regarding our present situation of life...pretty interesting read...Go On...

Being Twenty-something - they call it the "Quarter-life Crisis"     
 
"It  is  when  you stop going along with the crowd and start realizing     that  there  are  many things about yourself that you didn't know and     may not like.     You  start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or     two, but then get scared because you barely know where you are now.     You  start  realizing  that people are selfish and that, maybe, those     friends  that  you  thought  you  were so close to aren't exactly the     greatest people you have ever met, and the people you have lost touch     with are some of the most important ones.     What  you  don't  recognize  is that they are realizing that too, and     aren't  really  cold,  catty, mean or insincere, but that they are as     confused  as you. You look at your job... and it is not even close to     what  you  thought you would be doing, or maybe you are looking for a     job  and  realizing that you are going to have to start at the bottom     and that scares you.     
 
 
             Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what others are doing and     find     yourself  judging  more  than usual because suddenly you realize that     you  have  certain  boundaries in your life and are constantly adding     things to your list of what is acceptable and what isn't. One minute,     you are insecure and then the next, secure.     You  laugh  and  cry  with  the greatest force of your life. You feel     alone  and scared and confused. Suddenly, change is the enemy and you     try  and  cling  on to the past with dear life, but soon realize that     the  past  is drifting further and further away, and there is nothing     to do but stay where you are or move forward.     You  get  your heart broken and wonder how someone you loved could do     such     damage to you. Or you lie in bed and wonder why you can't meet anyone     decent     enough that you want to get to know better. Or maybe you love someone     but  love  someone  else  too and cannot figure out why you are doing     this                                                          because     you know that you aren't a bad person. Getting wasted and acting like     an idiot don't seem as fun.   
 
 
 You  go  through  the  same emotions and questions over and over, and     talk                        with     your  friends about the same topics because you cannot seem to make a   decision.     You  worry  about  loans,  money,  the  future  and making a life for     yourself...  and  while  winning  the  race would be great, right now     you'd just like to be a contender!     What you may not realize is that everyone reading this relates to it.     We are in our best of times and our worst of times, trying as hard as     we can to figure this whole thing out.      "Life  is  not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the     moments that take our breath away."     It's  really  amazing  when two strangers become the best of friends,     but it is really sad when the best of friends become two strangers.     
 
Success doesn't mean the absence of failures; it means the  attainment of ultimate objectives. It means winning the war, not every battle."

Well a true extract depicting our phase of life...whr we r constantly challenging ourselves beyond our limits to give our best to succeed in this mad rat-race called 'Life'... and also discovering ourselves in the process...
