7 Comments

Is it depression or realism? From my expirience life kinda sucks the fun out of things as we get older. Im 26, used to travel the country as a pro skater then got heavy into music and partying. I feel like i have lived my life already. Im not interested in the family thing and everything i did in my past just isnt the same when i try to re-create it. Im always nostalgic looking through photos of back in the day. I lived my own dream for 5 years... but now what...? Depression? or realism?

    seems like depression to me. surely you haven't done and experienced everything there is. there are still other adventures out there.

    while he isnt old and his life isnt over, I can understand what he is feeling...

    when you hit a certain age its hard to accept that perhaps better days or "more fun" days are behind you. So I know exactly what he is saying.

    Besides not everyone is into the stupid marriage and family stuff, isnt there enough people on the planet as it is anyway? How are we gonna feed them in the next 50-60 yrs?

    I would be grateful for 5 "GREAT" years as you described, some people live 80+ yrs and would have a hard time remembering 5 good years in all of them and you are only 26.

    Travel the world, see new sights, meet new friends, and fuck some girls (or guys that's cool to).

    I know what you mean. The best years of my life are over. There's really no purpose in continuing to live when life isn't enjoyable anymore.

    I think theres a certain amount of depression that comes with age. Like, life gets harder as you go. I'm 24 and strugglin w that too. Were relizing life ain't fun and friends and bars and parties. Its work and kids and upkeepin your own place and responsiblity!!! lol but if you're to the point where your seriously considering suicide or hurting yourself then its time to talk to someone about it!! Theres no shame in getting help :)

    You got to be kidding about being older. All that is happening is that your childhood is over. Time to grow up but you still have the best part of your life ahead. One day you will look back on this and laugh at yourself.
