Half Life Crisis does not equal "Midlife Crisis." The way I define or what it means is that a person has reached a crucial time with they start "adulting."

- J. Marcelo Baqueroalvarez

The Short answer: 

HALF LIFE CRISIS is all about being happy through our artistic expression!
It was created as a daughter-dad team to express ourselves in an artistic manner and somehow our small project continues to evolve rapidly!

Defining our Original Story    

Half Life Crisis™ does not equal "Midlife Crisis."  The way I define, or what it means is that a person has reached a crucial time when they start "adulting."  I first had the idea of Half Life Crisis™ back in 2011 when my wife, Alicia (while pregnant with our daughter), and I were visiting friends in Eastern Europe (read all about it in the first post). 

Today, I'm in my mid-40's, happily married to the love of my life, and I have the most wonderful daughter and cute, fluffy doggie.  Also, my wife and I, for some time had the chance to hang out with the coolest BFF in the world when we all had the most amazing day jobs- that is, whenever I'm not typing this stuff- so life is actually pretty good.  This page was originally meant to look at all the best life can offer.  Wealth does not equal riches and material possessions are not necessary requirements for creating amazing memories.

Finally, we have been able to publish this site as a place to document what I like the doing the most, which is ranting... a lot... about all kinds of stuff I find interesting and sharing my passion for the Arts in its many forms of expression... in exuberant detail. 

No one will preach anything to you on this site, or in any of our related social media outlets, as far as telling you how to live your life.  You do you.  I only share what worked out for us.  I will, however, unapologetically have my say.  After all, this is my site and ranting are a big reason why I created this entire project in the first place.

This site is about humanity and thought-provoking literature and artistic expression. Welcome again to our website!

What's Next for Half LIfe Crisis?

This is what's in store for 2024

It is very humbling surprising to see how far this daughter-dad project continues to move forward. You've also probably noticed that we've upgraded our website and that we have been adding more content on all our social media outlets.  This trend will continue to improve in 2024! 

One of the biggest goals is the launch Sammy's very own virtual Art Gallery! Where we will also feature artists we endorse, and they will be able to showcase their artwork and even link it to the vendor of choice! To include licensing or merchandise.

There is going to be an uptick of geopolitical topics both in short and long format articles.  The reason is because at this particular time in history we have to raise awareness, or things will get a lot worse - a lot faster.  I wish i was hyperbolic, if anything I am downplaying it.  Hence, I'll write in detail about these topics. 

Thank you for your visit and please continue sharing your thoughts with me!  I love hearing from you all!

Half Life Crisis is the realization that sometimes the moments we live pass by too fast.  If I could make time stop, I would want to experience once again those precious moments that today are memories.

This is Sammy's when she discovered her artistic expression through painting. This was a school project that later turned into a key piece of Sammy's identity.

When we began HALF LIFE CRISIS it was all about artistic expression.  Therefore, we expanded our platform artists we've interacted from all over the world to share their story.

All the artists and artistic enablers featured in our site are people and entities with whom I have had personal first-hand contact.  We will be adding our artists on our ARTS NETWORK tab in on this site.  This is what you can expect to see next.
