So today is my birthday. The 12th of february. I'm 19 now. I don't understand anything. Soon I will be old. Maybe my dog will die in some 5 years.
How do I cope with aging? And the fact that as time passesI have gained no fame, money and helped no one? I feel like it's all slipping away so fast. I have not succeeded yet at anything and at the time I do it won't be as impressive because young people are the ones admired. "He did all that in only his youth? Wow."
Anyways. I know aging is good. And natural. And only the dead don't age. But in my irrational side I wish I could just stop time and do something significant, helpful. Something that matters.
Thank you if you read this.

This is what most people feel upon reaching adulthood. The average man you pass on the street has felt the exact thing you are feeling now.
If you want to help people, volunteer. Help people in your community. I know you want to change the world on a large scale, but when you can help people on a personal level, you matter to someone.
I'd rather be liked than well-known.
Such a wise reply... I thank you so much. I feel more understood and not alone.

Lel, tomorrow on februari the 13th, I'll turn 19. I have done jack shit with my life, I failed my first program at university and I'm failing to do anything vesides gaming right now.
But we're still young. If you live in a western country espcially. You have more then a enough time to work on yourself.
What the other anon said is good advice though. It's always good to have something to do, and in helping others you may help yourself. Who knows what you'll learn, who you'll meet or whatever. Just get out there anon.
I'll just go back to university this fall and in the mean time find out what study better suits me.
Awesome work getting back on track, mate! Good luck and have a drink for me as well on the 13th! (Born on february the 13th eh?? Damn I have always wished that. Born on a thursday oh well) Good luck with studies!

Ahaha, will do. Gonna meet up with a buddy of mine at a bar where they serve my favourite beer.
And yeah, I've always seen friday the thirteenth as my extra lucky day and laughed at all the other people.
A surgeon in Lithuania earns 600 pounds a month, he's studied for years, a GP earns 200 pounds
Everybody gets cards dealt to them at the beginning of their lives, there are still Surgeons in Lithuania - which goes to show that you should pursue whatever you want to do and don't worry about money, fame, or your status
Simply do what makes you happy

Listen to Allen watts and go to church. He is a new age faggot but he has plenty of wisdom under his belt
