Events in my life.

Am I hitting some form of crisis? I am 26 coming on 27, I am about to leave a job without another one lined up...I feel that I am in a rut...a really shit one at it. I've spoken to my best friend and he suggests one of two things. Travelling or do another degree, I do like travelling but I never travelled alone...its a personal opinion that if there were two or more people going then at least you feel you always have one person you know. When I did do some travelling, it was always with Lin...she made me feel needed by being there for her when travelling... I can't be bothered with another degree that'll take 4 years to result in a piece of paper and debt. What ever happened to the days where you can apply for a job and do academic studies at the same time? WHERE did they go?! I even wonder if there are such jobs any more! I seriously don't know what to do or which direction to turn too...

2013 hasn't been a kind year so far, the death of my grandfather was sudden but not unexpected, my grandmother who usually doesn't share much emotions has cried, felt depressed and is mourning over the loss of her husband of 60+years, hearing her cry the way she did at the funeral literally crushed my heart...and to top it off, Saturday 8th June, morning at about 4:07am, my aunt who is 53/54 years old has died. She had cancer which spread to the brain, a stroke that paralysed her left side and she only retired a year ago...She has worked all her life and didn't even finish primary school... These deaths that has occurred so suddenly has...some what punched some fear into me...should I work so much? Is there any jobs or careers that will allow me to enjoy life as a source of income? Should I bother with a job? How much time do I have left? What the Fuck am I even doing? Is this some form of "early-mid-life crisis?"...Bloody Hell, thinking about this jazz makes me...
