Mid-Life Crisis??

Around 2003, Mark and I were talking of the time when he was still dating college women (18 and above, of course). But when he turned 25, everything just started sinking in. He suddenly felt depressed that he was turning 25 and that he would be regarded as too old to be dating college girls.

We jokingly dubbed it as "Quarter-Life Crisis". Because we figured that Mid-Life happens on 50 year old dudes.

Now that I am turning 30, it just dawned on me... My sister is getting married. Everybody around me is getting married. Everybody around me is getting pregnant. Everybody around me just gave birth. Everybody around me just started getting promoted. To top it all off, my office just moved to Quezon City which added another 45 minutes of my travel time. I was depressed.

Then I thought, "could I undergoing Mid-Life Crisis? You couldn't count it as Quarter-Life anymore because that means I would reach up to 120. If it were Mid-Life, then I would die at 60??? Hmmm... A Third-Life??

But it really depends on how you take care of your self. For those with life threatening condiditions, Mid-Life starts at 25. Others, even earlier.

It really depends on how you take care of yourself, actually.

Hmmmm... I need a change of atmosphere.
