"Dream Something Different, It's Okay."
We've all heard of the midlife crisis. Well, that kind of thing can happen at many stages throughout life. In my novel Eleven Sundays I thought I had made up the term "quarter-life crisis" until doing a bit of research. Turns out being in one's twenties presents many forks in the road and there's a term for it. Sometimes it takes a crisis to give ourselves permission to change course.
