This awaited my mailbox today and eeriely so.. i relate to it..
It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realizing that there are many things about yourself that you didn't know and may not like. You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two, but then get scared because you barely know where you are now.
You start realizing that people are selfish and that, maybe, those friends that you thought you were so close to aren't exactly the greatest people you have ever met, and the people you have lost touch with are some of the most important ones. What you don't recognize is that they are realizing that too, and aren't really cold, catty, mean or insincere, but that they are as confused as you.
You look at your job... and it is not even close to what you thought you would be doing, or maybe you are looking for a job and realizing that you are going to have to start at the bottom and that scares you.
Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what others are doing and find yourself judging more than usual because suddenly you realize that you have certain boundaries in your life and are constantly adding things to your list of what is acceptable and what isn't. One minute,
you are insecure and then the next, secure.
You laugh and cry with the greatest force of your life. You feel alone and scared and confused. Suddenly, change is the enemy and you try and cling on to the past with dear life, but soon realize that the past is drifting further and further away, and there is nothing to do but stay
where you are or move forward.
You get your heart broken and wonder how someone you loved could do such damage to you. Or you lie in bed and wonder why you can't meet anyone decent enough that you want to get to know better. Or maybe you love someone but love someone else too and cannot figure out why you're doing this because you know that you aren't a bad person. You want to settle down for good because now all of a sudden that becomes top priority. Getting wasted and acting like an idiot starts to look pathetic. You begin to think a companion for life is better than a hundred in the shack and for once you would not mind standing tall for that special someone which otherwise you had never thought of until now. You go through the same emotions and questions over and over, and talk with your friends about the same topics because you cannot seem to make a decision. You worry about loans, money, the future and making a life for yourself... and while winning the race would be great, right now you'd just like to be a contender!
What you may not realize is that every one reading this relates to it. We are in our best of times and our worst of times, trying as hard as we can to figure this whole thing out.
We call it the "Quarter-life Crisis"

Car Gadgets
My B-I-L got a new SX4 a week back... And after the weeklong wait i finally got to check it out today(Our work timings are so different that i actually never got to even see the car for a week )
Apart from the plush interiors and the grandeur of the car.. what caught my eye were two gadgets.
One was a camera fitted at the rear end of the car, which assists the driver by giving a clear image of the rear when reversing.. as soon as u move to the reverse gear, the rear view mirror magically transforms into a TV screen for one to see what we are reversing into...
The only glicth is that this camera is fitted right in the middle of the bumper... Now the bumper is the first place to get ,well, yes, hit by any vehicle...so the costs of replacing the camera will be reeeeely high.
The second gadget is music controls on the steering wheel. I always found it hard to change channels while driving.. but now its simple, its right there on
Now let people complain saying this is a distraction.
Reminds me of a friend of mine who had a habit of catching up with his close friends while he drove to work or drove back home from work. I would freak everytime i hear a ohh shucks when he is on the phone with me and driving..But i must say he was pretty good at the multitasking and to what i know has never been caught and fined for speaking on the phone.
anyways.. he had this logic that if speaking on the phone was a distraction , then talking to the co passenger, changing channels on the radio, anything is a distraction :)
So for all those who cant multitask very well..... the controls on the steering atleast solve changing channels problem :)
