no such thing as the “real world”
Sunday, February 5th, 2006I’d like to think the best of me is still hiding up my sleeve.

Lately I’ve felt a little lost and wondering what I’m going to do with my life. All this waiting has probably gotten to me. I know I’d try that interview again in a few months, but at the moment I don’t really feel ready.
You see, I’m awfully scared of getting a normal job now. Here’s what happens if I do :
- Get a job
- Buy car and pay by installments
- Buy a house
- Get Married
- Have Children
- Retire
- Die
People tell me that it’s not always better on the other side. I say fuck that. Does that mean you won’t even try to explore your options before settling down to all that commitment ? People tell me I’m irresponsible to not want to settle down. Well I’d say they are the irresponsible ones because I don’t want to wake up one day and think “is there something better ?”
So this is how a quarter-life crisis feels like …..
