Quarter life crisis?

Remember the movie 13 going 30? The main character was fretting  about her sucky life as a 13 year old teen and wished she could fast forward to the time when she's 30. When i watched the movie i was still in my teen..sweet young thing who thought being 30 means being old AF. I questioned the plot. Why 30? Isn't that the expiry age to all the careless fun lifestyle that a human being could have..coz ur basically..old and have responsibilities..Now that i have reached my 30s..hm..i wished i could knuckle my old self who thought being 30 means being ancient.."hey you, being 30 is still young ok" ..well at least I think I'm young.. Am I though?

Or maybe..that kind of perception I have on myself..is probably a "quarter life crisis"..Coz some ppl do live until they are 120 years old rite..so a quarter is 30 years old..anywho...There's this mid life crisis..where people in their 40s feel melancholy, making big purchases, feeling lost and questioning your life's meaning. And there is probably a quarter life crisis too right?

What are the symptoms u might wonder..Ok here are my self diagnosed symptoms. First of all, is being reluctant to leave behind the 20s fashion sense n styles. If u rummage through my wardrobe u can still spot the jeans and tshirts thay i wore during my 20s in uni life..u can also see shirts that i JUST bought, looking like the ones i've mentioned above..sigh..i just couldnt accept the fact that i'm 30 plus and need to wear plain, baggy and iron bound blouse..haih..my fashion clock somehow stopped at the age of 24..ok ok..maybe 22..can't blame me for still having that 22 years old figure (half true though)

Next symptom is, keep replaying moments or comments in ur head when somebody mentioned or acknowledged (directly and indirectly) on how young you look..ahaha..which i replay right now in written form..just now when i went to bring baby Uzayr (yes..i have a 2nd baby now which i didnt update here at all..busy maa) for his 2nd jab, a smart little 1 year n 10 months old boy kept calling me "akak" when it's clearly that i'm a lil older than his dad..ok..mayb that fact is not clear enough to a 1 year old boy..who cares..i take it that he thought that i'm some young teenage girl...and i'm gonna emblazon that moment in my memory..till i get another similar incident..hey..it ain't wrong trying to feel good bout urself..just don't start forgetting your responsibilities as a grown up..Ok, that's it. I hope I can recover from this crisis and embrace my age. hahahah.
