I've never felt more conflicted than I do right now.  I can't explain it.  I'm entering my late 30s, and I suddenly feel like my life is as unsettled as it was when I was in college. At least then I had a schedule of classes and a clear goal of getting a diploma.

Is this a mid-life crisis? Isn't it a bit early? Though, I am quite punctual, perhaps my crisis reflects my own timing? There are just so many questions I don't have clear answers to:

Do I quit my dead end, time sucking, mind-numbing, but decent paying job?

Honey, I think there's a little drool on your legal brief.
Do I move somewhere new, just to kickstart my life and get out of a rut?

What are these people doing? Because it looks like very little actual moving is getting done.
Do I stay put and start thinking about having a baby on my own?

This is seriously creepy.
Where are my clear aspirations?
The most I seem to want out of life is a house, and some land, and some animals, and a garden.
Friends and family that I love to enjoy some peace, and some beauty and some laughs with.

Probably infringing on someone's privacy/property by posting this.
If this is your house, I promise I'm not stalking you.
No, no, that's not me with the binoculars lurking behind that tree...
Don't be crazy.
And yet, even that, seems out of my grasp.
