You can be responsible, kind, hardworking, pay your bills, avoid unnecessary drama, and somehow wake up wondering when exactly your life became something you just maintain instead of enjoy. The funniest part is that everyone congratulates you for having your shit together while you're quietly wondering what the shit was supposed to be for. Maybe a midlife crisis isn't a crisis at all; it's just the first time someone stops being impressed with their own ability to function.
