Saw other people doing this and thought it was a great idea! Never really thought of it but I’m a music freak and have songs for different phases in my life. Now I just need one to sum it all up.. hmm….
OMG i just came across the term “Third-Life Crisis” that people are experiencing in their 30’s!
If I even survive the Quarter-Life Crisis, will I have to battle it out for the Third-Life crisis as well??
“Remember, all I’m offering is the truth. Nothing more.” – Morpheus, The Matrix.
I have no idea what I am going to do with my life or who I REALLY am or what I really want.. all I know is NOT-knowing is not enough anymore.
I have been avoiding growing up for 27 yrs (simply because I could), but now as I approach 30 – getting drunk and acting obnoxious, job hopping, bf’s for the sake of having a bf, spending more money on clothes than lunch… it gets a little pathetic when I look outside my usual circle and see people my age buying apartments, traveling, getting married, starting their own business.
My life used to be all about parties but now it just feels like a long bad hang over…
Where do I start to sort my self out?? Is it something that will happen naturally as I get older or do I need to do something about it?? is 27 too old to be having a “quarter” life crisis??
I’m 27 and have never felt felt Real Love. I have had a few serious relationships, but they were just puppy love or infatuation. When things got bad, I did not love them enough to stay.
Now everyone around me is settling down and getting married. Some to their high school sweethearts. All have been through ups and down, separation, even betrayal – but they stuck together because they loved each other enough to. Just like the wedding vow – for better or worse, till death do us part.
I don’t know what Real Love is or if I am able to feel this way. People have said to me even the best couples fall in and out of love with each other – my problem is when I fall out of love, I can’t fall back in love. Something inside just gets blocked.
I want to feel freed by love, but I have only ever felt trapped by it.
OK this one will probably never happen and is sorta out of my control anyway LOL
But a girl can dream sigh
I have so much stuff that I’ve packed away in boxes and every yr I take them out, look at them and think about giving them away to charity. But then I just put them back in their boxes and stow them away for another yr. It’s mostly stuffed toys and gifts from ex’s but I’m not sentimental about these things.
This is one of those “Just Do It” things!
This one comes after my goal to stay single for 6mnths. So I’ll start this one just after winter is over!
I’ve never dated anyone, I don’t even know what “dating” means. My friend says its when you hang out with a person, to get to know each other with the intention of maybe starting a relationship. Every guy I have dated turned into a BF because I wouldn’t go out/ hang out/ go on a date with someone I didn’t like or possibly saw a future with.
I want to go on a date – it sounds like fun! Plus I may have been turning down great guys before giving them a real chance.
I’ve always been interested in meditation and calming the mind. I usually have a million thoughts, ideas and emotions running through my mind and body. Sometimes it’s great to have all this energy, but sometimes it gets hard to separate them (thoughts from ideas, ideas from emotions, emotions from thoughts).
I was really into it when I first discovered it, but eventually I got distracted again from things happening around me. I hope I can get back into it and it will be a life skill and not just a “phase”.
I got this one off member 952 =P
I have lots of Big goals but this this one is easy and so doable and will really make a difference!
I usually carry a huge side back so I don’t accept plastic bags when I go clothes shopping, but now I plan to carry an “enviro bag” in my usual bag for my groceries.
This is a bit i got out of Anthony Kiedis’s bio Scar Tissue:
(His first day in Jnr High)
It was one of those times when you march up to somebody and say “Do you want to be my friend?” “Yeah, I’ll be your friend.” Boom, you’re friends.
How easy it was to keep an open mind back then!
I have always wanted to donate blood. I am even willing to overcome my fear of needles to do it. Problem is in Australia you need to be over 45kg to donate! At the moment I only weigh 40kg!
here is a great article a friend sent me:

I am going to mark each day I made it through being single so I can stay focused and not break the chain!
I’ll still wear make up when I go out, but I want to stop wearing make up just because I am leaving the house eg going to buy groceries, going to friends house, going to uni, going for lunch with a friend. Wearing make up day in and day out, I’m used to looking a certain way and then when I’m not wearing makeup I feel ugly and exposed.
I want to feel comfortable with the face and body that I’ve got!
For yrs I wanted to join/start a book club but none of my friends were interested. So I finally got round to joining one by myself.
I not been to any of the meetings yet because:
1/ I never finish the books on time (1 month per book!)
2/ I don’t want to go to the meetings alone
Maybe I will get up the courage to turn up by myself next month since they have an open book day where everyone can talk about random books they have read.
This yr my first resolution was to make it past midnight on NYE sober… and I did it!! I quickly caught up with everyone else tho – what the heck its NYE!
I’m trying to drink less alcohol because I’ve just turned 27. I feel like I’ve either been drunk or hung over for the past 10yrs. I am sure I must missing out on lots of other fun things, like walks at sunrise… I’m still yet to discover what they are LOL
I love fishing, but just as much as it can be relaxing it can be frustrating! The biggest fish I have caught was about 30cm. I think it was a mudfish?? I want to catch a big fish – like 50cm! I am sick of taking extreme close-ups so it looks like the fish I caught is bigger than it actually is =P
Anyway catching a big fish to me is like a lesson in life. There are some things you can do to make it happen, but most of it is out of your control and up to chance. When I catch this 50cm fish it will be a “sign” for something LOL
I admit I have become one of those ppl obsessed with FB!! I always thought I was too “cool” to care but a friend started one up for me and its addictive! Esp putting up pix. I have even started wearing new outfits every time I go out so I don’t appear wearing the same clothes in photos. OMG I know I am so SAD!!! But at least I can admit it, which is more than some ppl I know. FB can be fun and a good way to keep in contact with pals, but it’s bad when it affects your REAL life =/
Wow I am surprised how many ppl want to do the same thing! I have a great group of close girlfriends who I tell everything to. We’ve known each other for over 10yrs and went to High School together. I love them to death – but I’m realizing that I can’t restrict myself to the ppl I’ve grown up with, who have had the same experiences as me, who agree with me on most things. It’s great that we can always talk to each other but it’s also important to meet new ppl, who have new ideas on life – after all its a big big world out there!
OK so I’ve made this list and I feel great about it. Not so sure if I am ready to show my friends my list yet. I know it sounds silly, but I am afraid it’s going to be just a list of things I still have not done yet = failure! I have been known to say I’m gonna do a lot of things and never actually do them =/
Maybe when I do at least ONE thing on the list I will show them!
I am feeling nostalgic about who I was when I was younger (even though I’m only 27!). When did I become so comfortable and lazy?? I’ve already started saying yes more, and even though nothing spectacular has happened (like it does in the movie Yes Man), I can feel positive changes happening mentally and spiritually. I guess change from within happen first!
