        As you grow you will keep appreciating the growing amounts of personal development

        Eventually you think back to when you were worried about turning 25 and you’ll think “why would I ever wanna be 25 again? I had so much less knowledge and experience back then”

          ~ 35 is definitely golden era … at least for men. Old enough to be in control of your body and emotions, but still young enough to have spontaneous energy.

            Nah son. I talked over this with my dad, starting career and being independent is the best. Having kids and supporting a family really puts a damper on all that freedom and possible recklessness.

              I have a family that lives an adventurous life with me. They don’t hold me back. Kids are so malleable. They don’t hold you back unless that’s the life you create (obvious exceptions for special needs kids may apply).

              And “recklessness” is part of my youth I was happy to leave behind.

              And nobody forces you to have kids, you know? If anything that’s just saying to make sure to make choices that you will be happy with in your life

                Yes, I chose to have kids and change nappies, doesn’t make it any less disgusting when the shit starts going everywhere, and a billion other things I knowingly signed up for sucking.

                “This is going to suck, and be worth it after”
                Later : “this sucks”
                You : “LOL NO ONE FORCED YOU AMIRITE?!”

            For me it’s the knees. I can still shit and bang and drink and do all the same fun drugs I did at 25. But I miss my cartilage.

                If you’re not shitting then you need to see a doctor, friend.

                Otherwise, if it’s not your jam there’s nothing wrong with sitting it out. In fact I don’t recommend drinking as heavily as I have or take as many fun drugs as I used to (I can still do them but I choose to heavily limit myself) because there are long term consequences.

                  Saw a Dr.

                  Cost 200 bucks and he said to take a day off and shit.

                  JK. I’m pooping fine, thanks for the concern though!

          Then you shake yourself back into reality & remember, “…oh yeah, because I was hot & my dick worked.”
