You’re on a twenty year olds journey.
My family doctor prescribed me an existential crisis. When I told him what my plans were with school, he explained to me that I’m forty and that the path I’m on is for twenty-year-olds. Then he asked why I waited 20 years to show up for myself.
I was barely able to get myself out of bed this morning. I surrender. I didn’t even go to class. I don’t even want to go to life today. I’m speechless. I don’t want to talk to anyone. I just want to hide the shame and run away.
I stared at myself in the mirror this morning. That’s what people like do anyway, no? I haven’t looked at myself in years. You look 28! Everyone says to me. He looks like a 40-year-old to me.
Well, I should pack up my schoolwork and abandon another dream.
