wow, i hear ya man. felt like you were talking directly to me, on some parts. (my friend says he got this in an email about a year ago, so i know you didn't write it)

I guess each person is different, i figured out some stuff early, like who my real friends were, and how to tell, back in grade 10. I kept the same group of friends all through the last couple of grades, when everyone tried to be my friend, and i saw through their reasons.

It's true, they were just trying to figure it out too, but I could tell they didn't really want to hang out with me.

I still have the same group of friends, i kept them all the way through 4 years of college, we stayed close. I met a few friends in college, drinking buddies and flirty girls mostly, neither of which had anything substantial to offer me. I did meet one guy though who will be a friend forever, he knows who he is.

The shitty thing for me is, of those 4 guys i was friends with in highschool, one moved away to Victoria, a 4 hour drive and 2 hour ferry away. We used to be the best of friends, and now we are pretty much strangers. Then another moved, not too far this time, only 45 minutes away, but still, it was enough to break the connection.

Then, another moved away to victoria just last month (leaving me with only one real friend in my town). And guess what? he's movin to victoria in a a few days.

oh well.. just have to make new friends i guess, i still have lots of acquaintances, and one guy from highschool i still call on a regular basis. it's just we are so different, it's hard. I quit smoking pot, and it's always awkward when i go there and he's stoned out of his head..

We drift deeper.... life goes on.....

ya sorry man, forgot to mention i didnt write this, its from a email i got. Feeling excatly like this recently thought i'd share it^^

If that's a 'quarter-life' crisis does that mean i'll only live to be 60?

i dont know.... if "quarter" means 15 at your area, in the US it means 25. then again u might just be acting like a 15 year old kid.

Fucking hell I'm only seventeen years old and I feel totally like that. Okay well not exactly but I see all that stuff positioning itself for me to feel that way by the time I'm 25.. It's positively frightening to me.... =(

I've felt like this for years....so 1/4 life is a long time i guess....from about 17 to now...26.

Get used to it I guess

*sigh*

I found that I could relate to that quite well apart from this bit:

What you may not realize is that everyone reading this relates to it. We are in our best of times and our worst of times, trying as hard as we can to figure this whole thing out.

Sometimes I don't even feel like I want to be a contender or to run "the race" at all... I feel like I've been dropped in the middle of a small alley in the running of the bulls, I'm surrounded by enthusiastic runners, who are good at this and enjoy doing it... meanwhile I'm running half-heartedly, wondering how the fuck I got here, and why the fuck I need to run, and whether these bulls are real or figments concocted by social expectations and my imagination to make life difficult... meanwhile the bulls are gaining on me...
