I had one of those when I had a kid. A lot of the things I had wanted to do suddenly became a lot more difficult to do. I spent a fair amount of time fantasizing about being 20 again and cursing the opportunities I had so carelessly squandered, perhaps I still do a little bit.
It took me a little while to realize that I was exactly where I wanted to be. I'm glad I didn't get with so and so, because she might have been the person I knocked up, and she's fucking crazy. I'm glad I didn't pursue certain career paths, because I like the one I have now, and it seems a lot more meaningful to me than what I wanted to do.
I think I'm going to save my crisis for mid life.
