You could say that I%26#039;ve been going through a quarter-life crisis. In many ways I%26#039;ve been a good girl:
I%26#039;ve always studied hard/got good grades
Represented my family well
Been a good friend
And done what I%26#039;m supposed to do.
I did what I thought I was supposed to do so much that I had no idea what I was about. I still cared about my family, and am still a good friend. but dropped my classes because I cared more about how my teachers reacted than my own work.
anyways, the long and short has been a lot of confusion. but I recently got some tattoos (they were not hasty decisions, I%26#039;ve wanted tattoos for well over 5 years? and specific ones for at least 2).
And while I understand the health complications of this particular factor - I%26#039;ve been letting go of the guilt I have for being a smoker.
And I%26#039;m feeling o.k. - I actually feel like I%26#039;m representing myself for the first time since I can remember. I was just wondering what thoughts YA users had on this.|||Can you say %26quot;overachiever%26quot;? Maybe you%26#039;d have a clear concept of yourself if you stopped overachieving. This is just speculation. I really don%26#039;t know. I need a coffee.
