The quarterlife crisis (QLC) is a term applied to the period of life immediately following the major changes of adolescence, usually ranging from the early twenties to the early thirties.
QLC is what I am going through now. After passing out of college I feel a sudden increase in responsibilities, feels like doing something larger than life, missing college days, unsatisfied with current life style, feels as if others are indeed faring better than me, insecurity regarding future (esp. this Economic Slowdown has increased this insecurity).
In this competitive world one must always be on his heels to grab the opportunities coming up. Seems like things are kind of stagnant. Life has become a 'routine'. Go to work, come back home, do some stuffs (which you think are cool, but doesn't let you anywhere), eat, sleep. The same routine follows every day, week, month and year. Planning to look out for some change. Weekends do give enough time to relax and have fun. But people, this is also kind of rountine. Every weekend do same stuff.
I have at least realized that am indeed going through such a crisis. I can't imagine those millions who do same routine as mine and keep doing it forever.
So is it only me or you are going through such crisis? Give your suggestions here to resolve this crisis.
Jaago aur kuch karo !!!! (This sounds like that Tata Tea Jaagore initiative for the elections to 'wake' up people for voting :)
