I felt this so called crisis when my work as a call center agent is tiring and frustrating.
I think I was a robot doing a repetitive action in the office. All of my frustrations in life built in the corners of my mind. A human being who doesn't have a goal.
This so called "Quarterlife Crisis" was an idea given by one of my close friends. He told me that he is having this crisis. I googled this and I found that this is like a depression or similar to midlife crisis. I was concerned with his situation at first. He refused to be help nor to talk about it.
Of course, I'm in my twenties and felt this crisis which is similar to my friend as well. I guess this is a depression about where do I want to go?... A goal redirected for a better life. Sadness is normal for humans. Sadly, it is bad if its consistent. It may lead to a dangerous acts of human. Like suicide, depression (manic or bipolar), schizophrenia, drug abuse and even alcoholism.
The real problem about is our mindset through a life complicated with a lot of enigmas. Stress factors as well may contribute to this crisis. We were able to talk about this crisis when we went to banchetto in Ortigas. My officemates shared their ideas about what are their confusions when thay finished their studies in college. They told me that they had some questions on where to go? When to start a new chapter in their life? How to face the reality of our wondrous world?
Just today, I received an email from one of my old friends. My high school friend to be exact. She narrated on how her life was changed when she resigned from her previous company. The differences from her lifestyle when she was working and her present lifestyle. I would say that she is still finding the right career for her. I know that she can solve the crisis to herself.
In a nutshell, Crisis will always come to our lives. It could be anytime in our lives. It could be difficult or easy to solve. We should always remember that their is Hope for everyone of us. A hope that we will have a happy life. Praying and advise from God, our Family and friends might also help. Let us always be positive in every step of our way.
