quarter life crisis

Might be a quarter-life crisis
Or just a stirrin' in my soul
Either way
I wonder sometimes
About the outcome
Of a still verdictless life
Am I living it right

to provide for my family and take on a
dream job na mababa ang sweldo.and yes,
whether to take the plunge and go with
the chosen career despite violent
protests of family and friends, tapos
hindi ko din sure if i can stand by my
decision and make it big sa career na
