I rose this birthday morning with a grateful heart and full of anticipation of the next key I would encounter through this complicated melody entitled Life. Recent accidentals such as the death of my great grandmother has really helped shifted my mindset into truly being intentional in living a purpose driven life. As a recent grad,I struggled daily to identify my purpose in a the "real world"who no longer accepts my student class standing as a valid form of identification. The "real world" and my deferred friend Sallie Mae were more the ready to close the my college chapter for me and move me into new chapter . Despite my attempts to formulate my 5-year plan,the unknowns begun to become the author of my post grad life and began weighting me down emotionally and spiritually.
Through conversions with friends and family,I learned that my situation wasn't unique, for they shared that they were or had experienced similar feelings as a recent grad. Although that provided me support,I knew there had to be a term out that described all that I was feelings.My mind then flashed back to a lunchtime discussion during a summer internship about a book for recent grads entitled Quarterlife Crisis:The Unique Challenges of Life in Your Twenties. Coined in 1997 by co-author Abby Wilner, a quarter-life crisis is essentially a period of anxiety,uncertainty,and inner turmoil that often accompanies the transition to adulthood.
My goal for this blog is for it to be a oasis of interactive conversions of the unique challenges faced by the twenty-something crowd as we experience the good,the bad and the ugly of their own quarterlife crisis.
