My Quarter Life Crisis!!!!

[kitenashi]

I can count on my fingers the number of my former classmates and friends that are still single. im gonna be 30 soon and everywhere i look in the FB, most of my friends posted their wedding pictures, family pictures, kids pictures...and then i started to ask myself why im back to square one...even my playboy ex has his own new daughter now... and to think i was the perfect gf... i am happy and renewed from all the past heartbreaks...but then again i cant help but wish to settle and  make my lifelong dream of being a housewife to reality....i may have reach every career womans dream to be on top of the corporate jungle...and now im ready to back down and perform the greatest job God had given to every woman...to be a wife and mother.... this is my quarter life crisis...so whats yours? 

[Bubblin]

my quarterlife crisis is I feel like I haven't achieved enough in my life.I haven't reached the peak of my career and I don't have investments yet.I don't have enough savings yet in my bank account.

my QLC.. hay.. been struggling about these lately..

i want to have my own house.
i want to go to batanes and travel alone.
i want to expand my investments.
i want to work abroad (just because i want to experience it).
i want to be sexy gusto ko flat tummy and uhm.. toned body .
i want to go to HK every year just to go shopping.

and when i finally have done these -

i want to marry the one person i want to spend the rest of my life with. kaso hindi ko pa siya nakikilala. my fear is that, baka maging complacent na ako being single. baka hindi ko na makita yung need to get married.

ayan. QLC. hanuber!

[Bubblin]

^ same.i want to work abroad to help my family,save money for myself and buy investments. 26 na ako,turning 27 in a few months. I have to be positive about it na

[beck19]

^yup sis... a good start would be - JUST DO IT. most yuppies kasi (including me) are aware of their QLC issues but then wala rin silang ginagawa...  awareness is the key but action is the answer..

goodluck sa tin..

btw, im 27.

[Bubblin]

^ good luck talaga sa atin.. am thinking positive about it...  pansin ko nga lahat ng QLC ko ay all for me,me,me... wala man lang nararamdamang worry in terms of lovelife..

[beck19]

^ok lang yan.. sa dami ng isipin natin, hindi ko rin alam san isisingit ang lovelife.. besides, pag nagfocus kasi ako dun sa bagay na wala akong control (read : lovelife), i think im setting myself up for a sure frustration.. atleast sa pagwork abroad/investments/bahay/career eh may magagawa ako..

[Bubblin]

^korek sis.. tsaka for me kasi mahalaga sa akin ang good financial future,masyado lang siguro akong practical.

[chengkii]

Mas madali din i-goal set iyun things that doesnt need to/involve emotions. Kasi ang lovelife, you have to consider the other person pa. If it's personal comfort, you can set a goal that at this age, I should have this...and this is what i need to have by next year to get there.

[Bubblin]

^ang karamihan pa sa wants and goals ko eh for my family and myself.my ideal pa is,mas mahalaga ang friendship kesa sa boyfriend... kaya I'm on the look out for friends,both old and new.

[basya]

My QLC naman is that I haven't found EXACTLY what I'm looking for in life  & I'm FRUSTRATED na 'cuz I feel so lost and I don't know where to start...

[beck19]

^personal tip -- WRITE IT DOWN sis basya.. write down in paper all the things that you want to accomplish.. kahit hindi ka sigurado na gusto mo yung bagay na yon..

then reflect and prioritize.. ganyan rin ako before.. hindi ko alam ang gusto ko.. but then it turned out na MARAMI pala akong gusto.. at hindi ko alam ano uunahin.. when my WANTS and GOALS were put into writing.. ayun nakita ko kung ano yung mas dapat kong i-prioritize and mas achievable at the moment..

[Bubblin]

@basya: sis beck's tip will help a lot. sa akin, I made a vision board which includes things I want to do.marami akong gustong gawin.minsan naiisip ko parang late na para gawin ko,but I always shush myself.age is just a number..and i believe I am getting younger and younger

Hi sis! We're of the same age and some of these what you so called struggles ay na-achieve ko na. Pero hindi pa rin ganun kasaya. At the end of the day, hindi pa rin fulfilling.

Naiisip ko nga iba pa rin yung may makakasama ka. Pag-uwi mo ng house or after ng long day work, yung may makikinig ng mga kwento mo about your day. Yung may magha-hug sayo, magcocomfort.

Nakakasad talagang maging single. 

[geminilady1984]

I want to be a wife
I want to be a mother
I want to have my own house and car
I want to have my own business
I want to have a savings deposit not lesser than mid-6 digit

[ebosh]

Putting your wants and goals into writing really does help.
Nagulat nga ako that after a few months of writing down where I wanted to go, what I wanted to do, eh isa isa ko silang napupuntahan at nagagawa without realizing it. 
Pero ang pinaka problema ko na lang ngayon eh kung ano ang gusto kong gawin sa buhay ko. Pansin ko kase puro travels lang laman ng utak ko eh, wala na nga ako work ngayon coz I quit few months back dahil sa paghahanap ko ng purpose in life ko, eto pagta-travel paren inaatupag ko! 
Sana mahanap ko na ano talaga gusto kong gawin to prepare for my future na ren.. 

[yinandyang]

My QLC is that Im not as successful as I want to be. When i was 22 I had a clear plan on what I will be on this age. Pero right now, parang na setback ako kasi in my plan I should have been married and have an awesome job by this age.

And like kitenashi, may konting frustration when I see other people's lives are different when I last  met them. parang they made huge changes (ie married, abroad or both)

pero Im trying the vision board I want a new peroject din hehe

[Bubblin]

^sis my vision board has around 7,000 pictures.lahat na yata nilagay ko: clothes,shoes,bags,accessories that I want,places I want to travel,friends I want to have,and my dream guy,complete with characteristics.

[franz_mich]

my QLC... every time na jobless ako o financial crisis, ska naman ako iniiwan ng x-bf... instead na tulungan ako to cheer up... dun pa nang iiwan sa ere!!! 3x na kc nangyayari skin yun... 3 plang naman naging bf ko... lahat sla ganun. Mag 28-yrs-old nko pro single pa din ako... halos lahat ng friends ko married na o may baby na... only child n nga ako.. hanggang s pag tanda ko yta magsosolo pa din ako sa buhay... [textspeak!] nla blessed pa rin daw ako compared sa iba... pro malungkot pa din ako... good thing may mga doggies ako na dhilan pra khit ppaano malibang ako

yep sis.. sad to say - iba pa rin pag may "kasama" ka while you fulfill all those. pero kasi it's not something that i could control eh. di ba? i date, i have a lot of guy friends, definitely im no man-hater. pero wala eh. walang "spark". siguro darating rin yung guys for us at the right time. baka natrapik lang.

my dream guy,complete with characteristics.

haha. ang cute naman nito. talagang naka-set ang standard.. gujab!
