At twenty-five I was dumbfounded afresh
By my ignorance of the simplest things.
Ted hughes, fulbright scholars
Alongside an encouraging community, the quarter century review is the product of one individual's musings on their own twenty-fifth trip around the sun.
In an era defined by divisiveness and extremism, the cadence of life is something we all share. From Montana to Morocco, children muster up the courage to move away from home at some point or another. And I believe adults of all kinds have been struck by the realization that they should be doing something different with their lives. The prevalence of coming of age tales throughout literature seems evidence enough of a universal human journey accented with particulars of time and place.
Your path to wherever in the world you find yourself today is no doubt riddled with lessons learned and incredible stories. It would be an honor to hear them.
The questions provided about your own twenty-fifth year are simply a vehicle for you to reflect on the larger patterns of human existence, Please feel free to reflect on the general period of life marked by leaving home, falling in and out of love and begining to design you adult lives. Perhaps you faced these milestones between the ages of 20 and 30, maybe you didn't. Feel free to use the questions provided as more of a guide or ignore them entirely. Your story is far more interesting than simply the answers to a few prompts. If this project inspires you to create art of any kind it would be warmly welcomed at quartercenturyreview@gmail.com.
Thank you so much for your interest in participating in this project.
I can't wait to hear your story.
