Mexistential Crisis 

The feeling a Mexican who has lived in the US for many years gets when they finally save enough money to retire back to their hometown in Mexico, but then they realize their children are Americanized and will stay living in the USA forever.

I came to the US at age 15 with nothing and worked hard labor and construction for 40 years, breaking my back and sending all my money to my family back home in Michoacan. I finally saved up enough to build a house and retire back in my hometown. I am finally able to live the life I always wanted for myself growing up. I finally made it! I took my teenage kids out to dinner at a Mexican restaurant to celebrate and they ordered corn dogs and spoke to the waiter in English. Talk about a Mexistential Crisis... (sigh).

Existential Crisis 

An "Existential Crisis" is when and individual person starts to question their entire existence and questioning if being alive even has a point or if it's all pointless. It also is hard to get out of because when you are debating if reality has a purpose it gets in the way of everyday things, like Making Cereal or Recording Videos or any sort of activity.

Existential Crisis's include the EXITING topics of...:
-The inevitability of death
-The crushing loneliness of realizing all humans inherently are and will die alone
-The absurd meaninglessness of the universe and as far as we know there is no reason or purpose for human existence

Existential Crisis 

A period in which you contemplate the meaning of life, your purpose in life, the inevitability of death, etc.

This can last from a few minutes up to a month. Best done lying on your tummy face down on a flat surface (usually the ground) with hands by sides. Can occur at any time during the day.

Most commonly occurs among people in their 20s as they have just become free and are living their own lives and making decisions which will impact them in the long run.

Existential Crisis 1: *lying on the floor at the bottom of the stairs* "Life is so pointless. I work so hard to further my career and have a life when really it'll all be worth nothing because I'll just die. Is this really what I want to be doing?"

Existential Crisis 2: "Making some cereal.... Why do I exist? Life is pointless."
