Have you had your midlife crisis yet?
>>38135182
Yes I had my crisis around 23 and am not 26. Got my shit mostly back together and am working on finishing my degree up and getting myself into good shape.
We all gonna make it robros.

No but I feel the dread coming. I have my degree and it is useless to me. I want to go back but the life I have now stops me from that. I painted myself in a corner.
I'm sat playing heroes of the storm at 1:30am in my parents house where I still live at the age of 30 listening to ICYTWAT songs on youtube occasionally tabbing out to look at porn.
I mean yeah, my lifes pretty shit compared to the normie standard but it's pretty fun ya know?

Yeah, a few days after my 25th birthday.
I was feeling old, full of regrets; generally just feeling sorry for myself.
I sort of got over it when I realised I can fix every single problem in my life myself by doing pretty simple things.
>eat like a normal person
>drink enough water
>take my vitamins
>go my curls and shoulder press every morning
>brush my teeth every day
>make contact with my friends once a week
>study at least an hour every night after work
>listen to a new album every day so I can love music again
>actually finish any project I start
>play guitar for an hour a week
>realise kindness and tenderness is more precious than sex
Things are SO much better than they were 5 years ago. But in order to be who I thought I would be at this age when I was 15, fuck, I have a long way to go.

hey man, you aren't the only one who would've dissapointed his young persona, let me tell you.
I remember telling myself, oh man when I'm 20 I'll be this amazing, experienced guitar player. nowadays I cant even play past 20bpm
>Be 25
>Not friends
>Nothing to do, ever
>See young people going on trips everyday, laughing and having fun
>Even when I go out, there's nothing to do, but to watch other people be happy
How do you overcome this, robros? I have e degree and a job, but I'm just stuck right now.
Im up at 2am and im looking at apprenticeships and wondering if i can really still do one and it it's even worth it.
My first offer last week on a house(and losing out) shook me a bit. I am feeling much better on my current offer. If it works out it will be crazy for the next 5 years
>older place a block from one the best city views in the US
>livable as is, but needs tons of work
>neighborhood is a tad sketchy, but the city closed 1 housing complex already.
Plan is to move in with my bro splitting utilities while I work a 2nd job in over the winter to stash renovation money. Do the roof, remove 2 chimneys below the roof, and do the bathroom next summer. Stash more cash and do a total renovation on the 1st floor 2 years later. Longer term plans are to add a deck and garage/workshop in the back.
If things work out I complete my man fortress overlooking the city at 32. I just need to have the offer accepted.
