10 days from 25

10 days from 25 & on my own....no one to check in with, but no one to care if I make it home okay....no one to be obligated to, but no one to come home to.
What do you do when there's always been someone to say where to go or what to do?
I know what to do, but not how to do it.
I think this definately qualifies as a "quarter-life crisis".

Having been in my quarter life crisis for nearly 1/25th of my life I can attest to this confusing and trying time. Furthermore I hereby encourage you to embrace this 1st of 4 stages as you joyful look forward to:

Crisis 2 - Likely to include menopause... this is a time in which in many states a woman will not be convicted of murder if she is to "accidentally" murder her husband (or perhaps past boyfriends).

Crisis 3 - Despite the negative connotations that come with adult diapers, severely decreased mobility, increasing nostalgia of a time when everything was "better" and the mixed emotions of joy and pain while watching your own grand children make the same mistakes you did (serves the little snots right) - this 3rd crisis will likely be your last as everything beyond this point will likely remain a crisis resulting in rapidly approaching death OR you may obtain a state of nirvana and vaporize into the collective consciousness of... something else.

Crisis 4 - Having reached neither death nor nirvana this crisis is often known as the "I've Fallen and I Can't Get Up Crisis", the "Where Are My Teeth Crisis", the "You're Not My Billy Crisis", or the "What Do You Mean It's Not 1998 Crisis." In perhaps the worst case scenario you made find yourself perched on the edge of your bed chanting "Be the Mantel, Be the Mantel."

Never-the-less, I can appreciate your current plight, educator, and I admonish you with hope for a much brighter and better future, crisis’s excluded.
