Quarter-life crisis

Today I received an email from Sri with the subject titled “quarter-life crisis”. It’s a timely email as I’ve been feeling kinda down these days. Strange that I haven’t even worked a full year yet and I’m feeling this way already.

It’s not so much the scope of work I think. To me, the work environment and the people I work with are more important than the job itself. All I can say is that the current situation is not ideal. Like I replied Sri… I’m sure there is something out there that would make me happier. The question is WHAT IS IT and HOW DO I FIND IT? And after finding it, how difficult is it to make the decision to take it on?

I don’t know if this feeling will pass, but I expect it will. I’ve gone through similar phases of emotional and psychological lows before and I just need to get my mental engine revved up again…

I’ve always told the people around me that all I need is a simple life to be happy. I realize now that simplicity is not so easily attained especially with all the expectations that I’m inevitably surrounded by.
