I'm at mid-life crisis at 22. How did this happened? I know I'm living, but it seems like I'm killing myself without any sort of balance.
I went to the doctor two weeks ago. Before going, I typed all my symptoms and found my problem is quite common among men... that is.... men who are 55. I refuse to go quiet and die against the creeping night. At 22 I just scratched the surface.
So why do I feel old and eroded? Is it the fact that I'm hanging around with younger people or the fact that I gave up on having fun outside of school two years ago? Who knows all I know is I lost my vitality. And it doesn't help that I have a reseeding hairline either.
People always tell me, "Holy shit, you look tired. Have you been getting enough sleep?
Or my two favorite ones:
"You don't look 22." and "Did you know lefties live less?"
Shit. I'm not going quiet into the night, at 22 I just scratched the surface.
I've lived, but I'm not living
I'm not going quiet into the night.
