Alive at 27

So far my 27th year on this planet has been quite the challenge. From what I have heard, between the ages 27 and 30 people go through their Saturn Returns. This period is generally "marked by time, challenge, fear, doubt, confusion, difficulty, seriousness, heaviness, and hard lessons, among other more positive things such as structure, significance, accomplishment, reflection, power, prestige, maturity, and order", to quote wikipedia. There is also the 27_Club, which lists all the famous musicians who died at 27 from suicide or other mysterious causes such as Kurt Cobain, Jim Morrison, and Jimi Hendrix. So for those of you yet to turn twentyseven, I have some advice: Prepare to battle with your malicious self. It has grown along side your benevolent self all this time and there is no longer room for the two to coexist. The fight isn't so much to destroy the negative side of your self, just to confront and interact with it so that you may understand its nature. Then hopefully you can begin to untie many of those tight knots and move on. Be sure to also have a creative outlet where some of this battle may take place like through music or art, and you need friends to help nurse the wounds now and then. Good Luck.
