Lately, people around me are talking about their future like it’s just another primetime sitcom, predictable and planned. I sit and listen, while annoying voices in my head nag me to start thinking the same way. Well, I had a plan - get good grades, graduate and be a slave to corporate advertising or something like that. Something happened and I’m not sure if I like it or I hate it. I don’t have a Plan B and it frustrates me why I didn’t have a back-up plan for this kind of diversion. Now, all my plans are gone and I am stuck. What to do now? I listen to my Quarter-Life Crisis (in my early twenties) Playlist while I reassemble my shattered goals and get light migraines.

I guess we all have to grow up but I’m just not sure if this is that turning point to maturity (feeling amputa) because I’m not ready and I’m terrified. Huhuhu! Life, why must you happen so fast!
