Comments on: Quarterlife Crisis http://www.misanthropytoday.com/quarterlife-crisis/ Hating Everyone Since 2005 .............(This Could Take Awhile) Wed, 01 Feb 2012 01:10:07 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: J.

Being just such a person, torn between global nomadism and traditional success, I know it seems silly but it's excruciating. http://culturedcomment.blogspot.com/ I was stunned by how on point this was when it first appeared, and the longer I live in DC the truer it seems.

I sense a lot of anger and indignation and I wonder who it's directed at - as you seem to be directing your comments not at the author of the article or even the article personified, but at the people you assume will be reading the article. That's a remarkable amount of effort to, ultimately, appear that you either think you shouldn't have had kids or are qualifying your choice not to, regret not sleeping around more before getting married or just getting married and that you feel, yourself, like you are caught up in a mechanism you cannot personally effect the direction of. Those are reasonable complaints - a lot of people are going through them. It's okay to read something like this and go 'dang, that's me' and accept it, rather than rail wildly against strangers. As a side note, anyone buying an actual sports <a href="http://www.apexbattery.com/car-batteries.html" target='_blank' >car</a> only complains about upkeep to fit in - everyone is aware they are supposed to have <a href="http://www.cheapo.co" target='_blank' >money</a> problems, it's one of the things that connects us, culturally - it's so understood that the wildly rich convince themselves they have them so as not to be ostracized for not suffering like everyone else.

It's sad how people think that getting married and having children will enrich their life, only to find out that it brings more questions and insecurities. We went to far with the individualism.
