the voices in my head
Lelaina: I was really gonna be something by the age of 23.
Troy: Honey, the only thing you have to be by the age of 23 is yourself.
Lelaina: I don’t know who that is anymore.
- Reality Bites
in less than a month now, nadstown will celebrate its 23rd anniversary of inauguration. i.e. its been almost 23 years since my mum endured the excruciating pain of childbirth for the somewhat disappointing outcome of my birth.
i am not writing to lament my fading youth, as i feel i've got at least 5 years before i divorce my wife, buy a porsche and start screwing schoolgirls. or does that just work for men?
i am simply pondering the truth of the above few lines, which have been circulating in my relentless mind for some months now.
or maybe i've just been listening to too much cowboy junkies music. it tends to induce pondering.
hmmm...

Nobody likes you when you're 23. So says Blink 182.
But seriously, 23 shmenty three, you're just a young pup. But just a few short years till your quarter life crisis.
are you going through a quarter life crisis?
No i've got a few years till i hit that. I'm expecting it at about 28, when the big 30 starts to loom large.
moving past the fact a quarterlife crisis at 30 puts you at 120 years old in the end - nadstown you brilliant woman, enough of this status anxiety! and fuck reality bites too.
