I feel like I've hit a quarter life crisis. I'm afraid of losing things, especially my potential. But then as the boyfriend says, while rolling his eyes in exasperation, "yeah, it's all actualization". I fear that it'll never be as good as I dreamed it to be.

I find it ironic that someone who condemns the "you're all little snowflakes" theory of individualism for youth is suddenly in a quarter-life crisis.

I'm not sure anybody is going to ever be as great as they wanted to be. Unless you start wanting nothing.

So why not just look at it the same way a very dear friend told me via my facebook wall yesterday:

"I've been told that a person's worth is truly measured by the people who have been touched by his life. You'll be worth all the more the next year."

Or, and if that doesn't make sense, another very dear friend of mine once said...

"FEAR of failure is the only way you fail yourself. FEAR binds. And God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of love, power and self control. When there is love, there is no room for fear. So fill your life with love and you will not fear failure."

we are all vulnerable. Some, more than others... But still at the end of the day, we are all vulnerable.
