I am finally coming to terms with the fact of my QLF--Quarter Life Crisis. Sure, I keep saying that I think it is a self-perpetuated myth that actually doesn't exist (I'm convinced it only exists because of that one John Mayer song that came out while I was in high school, which is when I thought 25 seemed eternally old. Ha.) but when I find myself nodding in eager agreement while reading Wikipdia's diagnosis of the quarter life crisis--["insecurity regarding the near future" YES! "insecurity concerning long-term plans, life goals" NOD NOD NOD "insecurity regarding present accomplishments" OMG YES! "nostalgia for university, college, high school or elementary school life" SUMMER 2007!!!! WOOT WOOT!!! "a sense that everyone is, somehow, doing better than you" OH. EM. GEE. WIKIPEDIA IS A FREAKING MIND READER!!!!--I knew I hit the truth smack on the face. So I decided to do the only logical thing, which is to think about decorating a house. So thanks to my friend Katie and Sproost, I have discovered that not only am I mentally & psychologically reducible to algorhythms (thanks, Wiki!) but I am also creatively reducible.
Check it: Modern Elegance. Variety is the spice of life! And nowhere is this truer than in the design of your home. You may love contemporary, but wish it wasn't quite so cold and austere, or perhaps you're drawn to traditional rooms but you'd like to create a less cluttered and busy space. Transitional Style is here to marry those apparent contradicting designs.
I am so vague right now that even my creativity (as told to me via a 15 question quiz) is labeled "transitional." Awesome.
But the good news is that I have discovered that the QLF has another category that sounds a lot of like candy, which I approve of entirely. "Twixters"--trapped betwixt adolescence and adulthood. Dig it? I do. I love Twix. I think the answer to safely navigating through the rocky QLC terrain is found in the following video:
All I have to do is buy a fanny pack and a convertible, find some babes, and say, "Hey guys, what AREN'T we going to do today!?" Done and done.
