The So-called Quarter Life Crisis

It's been 8 months and I feel that I'm still trapped here wasting my time. Well, not totally. I still get to go around the city and the beach (which I really, really love!) but it seems that I'm going nowhere if I stay here longer.


On my way home tonight, I told my supervisor that I don't have any plans in my life (I'm giving her a hint that I'm leaving very soon but most probably she didn't get it). She told me it's fine since I'm still "quite" young but I should think about my plans more seriously when I turn 25. So that means I only have a few months left to fool around? I had told myself that I will do whatever makes me happy. I spent most of my younger years planning on what I wanted to be and I always end up not really liking it. I cherished the experiences and lessons I learned but what can I do if I found out that I am not really happy living such kind of life? I would say that I had achieved MOST of what I dreamt of. But 4 years had passed, here I am, still unsure what I wanted in my life. So I guess, the best solution I could think of is to stop planning. Anyway, I could never predict the future.  As the song says "Que sera sera, whatever will be will be, the future's not ours to see". 


Lucky are those who easily find what they wanted. But it just doesn't work that way to everyone. My goal is to continue my life, stay happy and I guess I will just have to find it along the way.
