A Certain Game of Chance
Last Sunday’s bout of QLC (quarter life crisis) caught me off guard and I’ve been out of sorts the entire week since then. What I discovered, however, was how many people reached out to me during those moments. From their comments on the post to little goodies left at my desk, I realized how lucky I am to have people who care enough to tell me that I am not alone on this one.
For a week I was uninspired. I didn’t even have it in me to write – not even a blog post nor an email. Even my usual enthusiasm for exercise was curbed. I just felt like a complete piece of crap and I know it’s going to take more than just wallowing to get me out of it.

I’ll Be Here Awhile by 311
But I’m back. I think I’ve bounced from that dreary place called self-pity and am proactively trying to be happy.
I know I once said that ‘happiness is a warm gun’ (culled from John Lennon’s brilliant mind, no less) and was quite surprised that this time around, I wasn’t even thinking of that. I usually become very emotional during these phases but I’ve got a good support system installed now and couldn’t be happier to have them backing me up every step of the way.

“Only after disaster can we be resurrected”
We all know how much Fight Club is a big part of my life. Seriously, whenever I feel like crap, watching the movie puts me back into perspective. That doesn’t mean I’m about to start a fight club of my own (although sometimes I wish I could) but in celebration of Fight Club’s 10th Year Anniversary, you may want to check this out.
