Quarter-life Crisis

When I finally finish something,

                                                                        there's always something new I need to do.

When I finally understand one thing,

                                                                         there are other things that don’t make sense.

When I’ve mastered what no one else can,

                                                                          someone else has learned something much cooler.

When I reached the place I had dreamed of,

                                                                          I still had to smile when I didn’t feel like it

                                                                          and poop when I didn’t have time for it.

When will I learn to stop for a moment?

                                                                                                    Breathe a little.

Appreciate what is already here?

I don’t want to look back on my twenties and think:

I was only focused on things that were supposed to happen but never did,

and I didn’t even have time to go to the bathroom.
