Many of you (as in the two people who read this blog because you are close friends of mine) are well aware of the state of things under my tiny studio sized non leaky roof. For the rest of you (my imaginary audience) I will explain it to you. I am going through a mid-quarter crises. Many of you may ask what casuses this? What is a mid-quarter crises? Does it happen quarterly? Should I expect to go through this phase?
Let me walk you through what this crises is and see if that helps answer your questions. I began to feel my mid quarter crises when I looked at the whether forecast for this week and saw that for the week we should be expecting rain, solid rain everyday. For many of you (imaginary people) who may be desert dwellers this might be exciting and cause to celebrate, yet because I live in St.Louis where, as Nelly said "we play the rain all day" this is neither new, exciting, or cause for celebration. The prospect of rain for an entire week brings out the inner depressant in me and catalyzes deep degrees of self reflection in which I look back over my (short) life and consider if I am mediocre because I gave up my childhood dreams, dreams of being a horseback rider or a model, and if should just drop everything to do______ (it has not been figured out).
My mid-quarter crises culminates in asking, what Camus considers the only question worth asking is life worth living. HOLD THE PHONE this is only a mid quarter-crises and not a life crises therefore I was not for a moment contemplating actual suicide just suicide/murder of the life I am living, an undoing of the direction my life is headed. So that is for me a mid-quarter crises, a period of time when I consider whether or not my parallel life where I am a horseback rider is better than this one. Will you hit this phase? Probably. Will you quit everything to do _____? Probably not. Should you though? I don't know, it is still raining outside.
