A mid-life crisis is only a state of mind triggered by a realisation that you're not getting any younger. It's up to you how you deal with it

HMMMM

Well at 25 I ditched my gf, sold my Cossie, brought a run around and went to uni. Does that count?

I met a guy at uni who ditched his wife, sold his house, fucked off to Oz for 18months and came back to do a Uni course and brought a bird back from Oz with him - the strange thing was that she'd emigrated to Oz herself 18 months previous.

Strange world
