Yeah, another blog and the Quarter-life crisis
Friday, 15. August 2008, 13:27:46
This post is a semi-translated copy/paste from my other blog.
The deal is, at the beggining of this summer, I've started another blog, in Serbian. Decided that this one should take a summer break. The Serbian blog was originally at myexit.org, and the goal of its existence was to let me collect and organize my thoughts and to emmit all the negativity.
However, I was hacked. Big time. Lost my Myspace & Facebook accounts, MSN, two Google accounts etc etc etc. Lost some important data as well. And loads of passwords. So, apparently, I had to move the Serbian blog, since I am now unable to log to that account. And since I've totally got used to blogging at MyOpera, the choice was logical. For all of you that understand Serbian, the blog is here.
Still messed up about the whole hacking-thing. Like it wasn't enough to suffer from Quarter-life crisis, lol! No, really, found about it recently, and hell yeah, I think I can recognize the simptoms. x)))
Finally found something to blame for everything that goes on in my head!!
What's the use waiting for the mid-life crisis?
Characteristics of quarter-life crisis may include:
feeling "not good enough" because one can't find a job that is at one's academic/intellectual level
frustration with relationships, the working world, and finding a suitable job or career
confusion of identity
insecurity regarding the near future
insecurity concerning long-term plans, life goals
insecurity regarding present accomplishments
re-evaluation of close interpersonal relationships (all the time)
disappointment with one's job
nostalgia for university, college, high school or elementary school life (always)
tendency to hold stronger opinions
boredom with social interactions
loss of closeness to high school and college friends (I even looked forward to it)
financially-rooted stress (overwhelming college loans, unanticipatedly high cost of living, etc.)
loneliness
desire to have children (OH GOD NO!!!)
a sense that everyone is, somehow, doing better than you

And there are also sites about it, support groups, etc... Massive!!
And before I go, I've got to say THANK YOU to MyOpera Community Support, for helping me in renewing my password. That's the way to keep a blogger.
