Quarter Life Crisis
December 7th, 2025
Let's review the facts. I'm in a quarter life crisis.
I don't have any concrete goals. Get a girlfriend? Have sex? Hit 1/2/3/4 on my lifts? Run a marathon? Change the world? Work at a startup?
I got into my dream job of working at my dream company making dream money, but for whatever reason I'm still not satisfied. I felt more productive and more movement towards my goals back when I was trying to get my dream job.
Enough time to make decisions that'll maybe "make something of my life." But not enough time to goof off like no care in the world.
Like, what is the world to be?
I think there are frameworks out there that, um, well, they lend well to a more satisfying life. And the words of people who speak this framework, well, they share the framework with the people around them via language. If I could adopt that language, I would lead a more satisfying and more productive perhaps life.
The only issue is, typically people who are already satisfied with their life don't feel a strong need to share and spread their frameworkâmost people spread their values out of ego, but if one's satsified, there's really no need to spread it.
It's kind of like monks or hermits. If they're already satisfied, why spread it?
