I'm not really sure why I'm writing about this topic, but my friends Doug and Steve kept bugging me to expand on my analysis of Arthur Spooner's midlife crisis. So here we are.
Okay, so I've been thinking about this for days now. A midlife crisis is like when you hit your mid-30s and suddenly feel like you're 17 again – but without the sweet, sweet rush of adolescence. You start to question everything, from your job to your relationships to your entire life choice (which, coincidentally, led to my current role as a subway token clerk).
Now, let me tell you about Arthur Spooner. I don't actually know him, but I'm going to pretend like I do because that's what friends are for, right? So, Arthur is a 42-year-old... um... whatever he does. He's got a family, a job, the whole nine yards – but something just clicked and now he's reevaluating his life choices. Like, big time.
Arthur Spooner's midlife crisis is like a rollercoaster ride of emotions. He's feeling anxious, depressed, restless... it's like he's stuck in some kind of existential limbo. I mean, can you blame him? Life starts to feel like Groundhog Day when you're 42.
Now, this is where things get really interesting. According to my research (i.e., I looked up a bunch of Wikipedia articles), taking up D&D can be the perfect solution for people experiencing midlife crises. Like, it's all about embracing your inner nerd and finding new meaning in life through fantasy and adventure.
Will this ancient art form save Arthur from his existential dread? Only time will tell. But hey, if it works for me, who's to say it won't work for him too.
I mean, what else can you do when faced with the crushing weight of adulthood? Roll some dice, grab a sheet of paper, and start world-building. That's my advice to Arthur Spooner (and anyone else experiencing midlife anxiety). And if all else fails... well, there's always the subway token clerk job.
