Mid-20s Crisis: Chasing Opportunities, Fears & The What-Ifs [#27 Recess]
As the year comes to a close, we brought on two of Kessyl’s girlfriends to reflect and re-evaluate 2021. The things we struggle with and laugh about in our mid-20s: The fear of falling behind, stepping into uncertainty and celebrating growths along the way. Is this a trap? Is this freedom? But honestly, if we were to sum up this episode into a song, it has to be Adele’s “I Drink Wine.” And hey, if you’re in this quarter-life crisis, know that you are NOT ALONE.
“Just because you can’t imagine it, doesn’t mean better don't exist.” - Quin Ooi, 2021
00:00 - Soul fulfilling project: Project ME
5:51 - “Everyone is always changing and becoming.”
12:28 - Deriving our values from work
26:26 - Early 20s vs. Mid 20s: Hustling and learning to slow down
35:00 - The “What-Ifs” and the feeling of “You’re not enough”
50:41 - Live your truth: Being open to making mistakes and filtering out people in life
1:00:14 - Making space for the new in uncertainty
