Quarter Life Crisis

When I was reading through my phone just now, I just had a moment of revelation lol. I realised why I've suddenly found myself suffering from a quarter-life crisis, even though I believe I have a few years more to go before hitting that age. It's the things and people that I have surrounded myself with that's making me like that I think. 

You see at work, the average age is 26/27. So I'm hanging out with working adults who either just got engaged or married. Like just last week, another one of my colleagues got proposed to. In Phuket. Then obviously at work I deal with weddings all day. From preparing proposals, contracts, to making wedding menus, looking at guest lists, typing BEOs. Handling wedding favours and ang pao boxes etc. And here I am, a 21 year old sad single intern dealing with all this. 

Then when I'm on social media, I follow the usual bloggers that most girls do (or used to at least). Like Xiaxue, Cheese, Qiuqiu, Audrey. and ALL of them are mothers/mothers to be. And a lot of their blogging materials relate to babies/having babies. Even on dayre, the majority of people I follow are mothers. So I probably am very knowledgeable with regards to acronyms such as BLW, BF and DL. 

BLW: Baby Led Weaning

BF: Breastfeeding

DL: Direct Latching

And I probably know how pumping works and how often baby should be fed. I know how babies should be placed on car seats (they have to be upright since baby wants to look out of the car window. If not baby will have to force himself to sit up and cause him to be cranky since he's uncomfortable). I also probably know how to make a variety of purees and baby friendly food now, thanks to mummies who blog about their babies who happen to be picky eaters. Playtime for baby has never been easier since I have now learnt easy DIY craft work to engage and teach babies/toddlers. Oh what an enriching time I must have on social media. 

Lol it's not that I'm complaining. I'm not. It's actually quite amusing sometimes when I come across posts of these mothers talking about their daily lives and complaining about all there is to complain about their ungrateful husbands, uncooperative babies, crazy bosses and bitchy colleagues. You know how they say blogs will remain relevant if they grow with their readers? Yea I think as a reader, I'm growing with the wrong blogs hahaha. I'm probably 31 mentally right now, after reading all that material. 

I really think if I really must, I should start going to blogs by people around my age. But they're not funny leh. And most turn out to be fashion blogs. So the girls are just so pretty and skinny and fashionable and I always end up feeling inadequate and insecure:( Although I'm not saying that the bloggers I follow now are not pretty and skinny and fashionable. They are as well. But the fact that they are funny and entertaining makes me want to go back for more?

Anyway, idk where I'm getting at with all this ranting lol. 10 minutes to lunch. Can't wait for (unappetising) food!
