You could say that I've been going through a quarter-life crisis. In many ways I've been a good girl:
I've always studied hard/got good grades
Represented my family well
Been a good friend
And done what I'm supposed to do.
I did what I thought I was supposed to do so much that I had no idea what I was about. I still cared about my family, and am still a good friend. but dropped my classes because I cared more about how my teachers reacted than my own work.
anyways, the long and short has been a lot of confusion. but I recently got some tattoos (they were not hasty decisions, I've wanted tattoos for well over 5 years? and specific ones for at least 2).
And while I understand the health complications of this particular factor - I've been letting go of the guilt I have for being a smoker.
And I'm feeling o.k. - I actually feel like I'm representing myself for the first time since I can remember. I was just wondering what thoughts YA users had on this.Can a superficial (and negative) changes make your identity whole?Can you say %26quot;overachiever%26quot;? Maybe you'd have a clear concept of yourself if you stopped overachieving. This is just speculation. I really don't know. I need a coffee.
