This Thursday it will be Thanksgiving here in the USA and I guess that small weird island group of Hawaii too.
So we have been complaining so much lately, but what are we gratefull about? What do we appreciate about our lives?

the 27 club
Soon we'll have to change the name. Damn it!!
Minx and I are turning 28 in December, and the rest of you guys are also turning 28 soon....
What's scary is though... in Korean age, we are 30. Thirty years old!
When did we get aged this fast? Although... I feel less pressure about age these days though. But still... still.... it's so unfair. How can it be 30?
Any one wants to go to the National Assembly or a Court in Korea to petition against this?
Got so much to do - it's good in a way to get my mind focused on something.
One thing at a time, otherwise I might go crazy.

Quarter Life Crisis
Wasabi Peeps,
I really think it is a quarter life crisis. It just tough to decide the right direction we want to take our lives in. Not just career wise but also “location” wise” creating own family” wise “keeping in touch with friends” wise it’s a very crazy dynamic period filled with opportunities yet doubts.
Actually it’s a bit of a luxury problem since in the old days and in allot of areas in the world people don’t have choices. They just finish school and work to support their family or stay at home and take care of the home and pop out some babies and have to forget about their dreams and desires. But we can choose and we should. Like I say allot it is very easy to take the path that society (parents, friends) expects from you, to take the high paying attractive pressure filled job even though it may not be your dream just because that’s how they (parents , friends, your own pride) perceive your success. In the end though it all comes down to what makes you happy because there is only one person who is living your life and has to deal with your issues.
My issue for the last few years has just been finding a direction. I don’t know what to do career wise. I do not want to be sitting in a cubicle working on financials or doing marketing research even though people around me think I am good at it. I want to be creative in an creative environment with energetic creative people around me. But I can’t just figure out what I should do.
That’s also another point that Sooyoung mentioned earlier. Happiness is all about your own perspective but before I get into that I have to state though that the people you surround yourself with help influence your perspective. If you are hanging around negative complaining people al the time you will become so, maybe not by choice but subconsciously. So it is really important to find the right people to spent time with if you are around negative colleagues.
Happiness is all about perspective though. All about internal view, how in the end it is just a choice of looking at things and feeling happy. Most people equate happiness with external surroundings, money, perfect partner, perfect place to live, people who admire you. But this does not really matter in the end. That’s why there are some garbage man in the world that are some of the happiest people in the world and some celebrities or their kids who try to commit suicide because of horrible they are feeling. Just because it seems like somebody has it all doesn’t mean they are happy. Only you can make yourself happy and now. I used to think that once I get this amount of money and this skill in photography and this amount of friends to hang out with then I will be completely happy, but that’s wrong, there is a big chance that perfect situation will never happen and maybe once it happens I change and would rather be alone, I would rather have the choice myself to make myself happy at any point in life.
So in the end figure out your role, what you would like to do and then take the steps to get there. Once you have a goal to where you want to be its easy to get motivated and work towards that. As for myself I still need to find that role/goal.
