The Quarterlife Crisis

So true it's disturbing/funny:

"This phenomenon, known as the “Quarterlife Crisis,” is as ubiquitous as it is intangible. Unrelenting indecision, isolation, confusion and anxiety about working, relationships and direction is reported by people in their mid-twenties to early thirties who are usually urban, middle class and well-educated; those who should be able to capitalize on their youth, unparalleled freedom and free-for-all individuation. They can’t make any decisions, because they don’t know what they want, and they don’t know what they want because they don’t know who they are, and they don’t know who they are because they’re allowed to be anyone they want."

So, in reaction to my quarerlife crisis I'm going on another roadtrip starting this weekend! Last summer I went out West, so it only makes sense that I'll go East. I haven't actually planned anything yet (leaving in two days...), but I've got Pabo, Garmin and my income tax return to keep me going for a couple of weeks. I'll be posting while I'm gone so mom doesn't worry. Pictures to come!
