For someone close to twenty five, Erik Evy’s ‘Quarter Life Crisis’ definitely rings true. In a generation where everything seems sped up, the age old idea of a midlife crisis doesn’t really work for us anymore. Expectations are accelerated, success is supposed to be immediate, achievements are broadcasted, and disappointment is immeasurable. If you’re twenty five today and still not completely on the right path, you feel slightly dejected and it’s impossible to get away from that. We’re caught in a rat race where success is simply blasted all around us, productivity being the only thing that we should all strive for. Its sad, deep down, and it’s also incredibly unsatisfactory no matter where that path takes you.
Erik Evy turns the adage on its head. Quarter Life Crisis is introspective, inspirational, and incredibly true to the feelings that most of us that age can imagine and relate to. It’s healthy and reassuring, especially on that final bar.
