I have talked for the last year and a half constantly on this board about being in a quarter life crisis, being lost, trying to find myself etc...

but do you ever have moments or times where you feel its your destiny or its fate and that you are supposed to be where you are, and doing what your doing.

I went from being mr political activist to watching and being very personal issues oriented, the personal is political. And it feels like I am supposed to be doing that. It feels like it was destiny. That sounds cheesy but its not.

Or how in a previous thread I talked about how I felt I was having a second adolescence. However wierd it may be that a 24 year old feels like his teen years are starting again, I feel like I was meant to be dealing with this, that this is the place I need to be.

I volunteer multiple times a week at a music venue, and feel like again, this is what i was meant to be doing.

its just odd how I can feel so lost and found all at once.

    I would give anything to go back to my teen years when I didnt have as much responsibility, things were still new to me and I was experiencing so many firsts, life was more interesting, and I had that freedom of making stupid choices because of the age. Your a lucky guy/girl to feel like that again.

    This is not a mark against you or anything but I always wondered WHY people use that phrase. "I need to find myself". Why is it that everyone who says that, thinks they need to go to another state or city or country?! Did your "self" run away there????? seriously, why do people use that? You are who you are. Just build on that! :)

    Why not be mediocre and be the best at it that you can be?

    ...and sometimes I feel like I need to be somewhere to learn stuff I havent figured out yet. For instance, I know it is time to move on and quit my job. But I am waiting until I find a good opportunity to leave (a new job that fits me). But I can't seem to find anything good.

    I think that is because I am to chicken to just quit my job and go with the flow of life. So life is not presenting me with a new job before I have the guts to do something about my situation. On the other hand, I think we control our lives much more than we think. So I can just sit here and whine or do something about it....

    I should just put my knowledge into practice....hmmm, lets watch Into the Wild again for some inspiration :)

    yes, i always feel like this. and i always feel like everything happens for a reason....and of course you make mistakes and know you shouldn't have done something, but you learn from your experiences and i believe it's all used for a greater good. and even some really bad things happen but i feel that those things help you grow as a person.

    YES!

    and i LOVE that feeling. :D
    i will on occasion have it at home, in the garden....just *being*.......sometimes on a long car drive or out to dinner with my husband, just listening/watching him.....i've had it alone, traveling, in an unfamilar city or out in nature.....and i've had it at a few pearl jam shows, especially in italy.


    it is GREAT when you have those fleeting moments of 'this is exactly where i am to be, right now, in this moment.'


    just thinking about it brings a :) to my face.
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow
