The top 5 problems of quarter life crisis for people around me, precisely people in my country, is marriage, marriage, marriage, marriage and career. Hence, I never feel like I have a quarter life crisis. Not until, I realized why I never think about marriage as my problem of quarter life crisis, when I will be 27 this year. I will be 2 years older than the dream-marriage-age for women.
I do imagine about my career, or what I will do in my life. But I never I project myself as a married woman. In my imaginary future me, I put my career and hobby first. Thinking that I will be X, having my own company, doing Y, climbing Kilimanjaro, climbing Aconcagua, living in NYC for 6 months, living in here and there. And as I project that I hit certain age when doing things, I just realized where do I put my wedding day? Should I just married after 35, which I already expired for 10 years according to people around me which I don't care. Then how about kids, having your first kids after 35 is dangerous, they say. I don't even think about marriage, why should I even bother to have kids?
If I live in the environment or country where marriage-less life is common, I would not much think about it. But people around me thinking that marriage life is important. Having family is a must. Not to mention, that being a woman is such a disadvantage for not thinking about marriage. Like people do really think that you are a left over if you don't get married. But well again, I think I don't really care about what people think about.
Then that's why I have though that this not thinking of marriage life and having family is my quarter life crisis.
