THEME:

I don’t get what it is that makes earlier times so beautiful to think about. I loved everyone and everything. I could do anything and I’d wake up the next day and realize it didn’t matter.

I think for humans the happiness we feel revolves around the relationship we have between control and responsibility over our lives along with the amount of new things. Everything is new and beautiful because you’ve never experienced anything and that makes time move slower.

When you’re a kid you have no control but you have no responsibility. You’re able to exist freely in obliviousness. When you grow up, you gain more control and responsibility. When you’re a kid you have everything to look forward to, when you’re a teen you still have things to look forward to, when you’re an adult it’s pretty much done.

This is why it’s recorded that humans feel like time moves slower and like the first 25 years of life are equivalent in time to the final 55. We’re supposed to explore new things as humans but when we live like this we’re set in a confinement that leaves that behind completely. When you’re 9 you can play video games, when you’re 10 you can hang out with your friends on your own outside, when you’re 16 you can drive, when you’re 18 you can be an adult, etc.

This is most likely also why happiness peaks in early 20’s to late teens for most people.

You have a life filled with new things, new people, new experiences constantly until you settle down and you’ve discovered everything already. You’re used to being an adult, being able to drive, being able to drink.

The brain doesn’t feel the need to slow down because it doesn’t need to take in any new information.

A midlife crisis is at 25. Not 50. And that’s just hard to think about.

I know I’m not saying anything profound or deep I’m just trying to put how I feel into words so maybe someone can answer how to stop life from being like this. How do you trick your brain into thinking it needs to slow down? Everything just floats by now and I’m pretty sure it’s like that for everybody.

TL;DR life doesn't get better.

People who think like you are just the ones who were always destined to be society's cogs. Which is most people. You allow society to create a little box for you to get inside of once you become an adult.

My adult life has been filled with nothing but fun and new things to explore. Life started for me when I left my parent's house for the final time at 21. And I had a very rich wonderful childhood, so don't get things twisted. Since leaving my parent's house, each year has been more exciting and fulfilling than the last. This year I'll be turning 39.

I’m not necessarily talking about myself when I say this, a lot of what I was saying was just talking about what I see and occasionally the sentiments I share with other people.

I think that’s great for you that you’re able to live that way and I wasn’t trying to make my post sound hopeless or anything.

Honestly for me right now I started doing something that I really love and I guess I’d agree that if you force yourself into a position where you’re able to explore new things, life will feel how it did before. The only thing is it’s really easy to get consumed by those same things you’re talking about which is probably why so many people feel this way. Things like money and jobs can and do trap so many people when they’re young to the point that things like that aren’t possible and I think that’s probably where the sentiment of missing childhood comes from in most people.

I get what ur saying and I agree because yes, this is the sentiment society will try to push on the average person from the day you become an adult which is why you’d say that the people who follow it are “cogs.”

You could DNR this tbh this was actually just me rambling to myself and putting what you said into account with my understanding

I would never allow myself to become trapped by a job.

At 23 I left USA and spent the following decade moving from place to place throughout the developing and 3rd world teaching English and doing all sorts of other jobs. Never went to college, not even a little bit. 7 years later I got married. Moved back to USA with my pregnant wife two years after that. For the past 5 years I've supported the three of us, without government assistance, working as an associate only 3 days a week at a fast food restaurant. My wife's always been a full time stay at home mother and I won't allow her to work. I've never relied on family for money or shelter. Now my wife has her US citizenship and after a few months we'll be immigrating to another country we've never been to before. My kid's gonna be a native speaker of 3 major world languages.

All my adult cousins, with their cucked little families, murmur amongst themselves about what a "psycho" I am but they're secretly jealous as hell. I haven't been allowed at any of their functions since 2023. Their wives don't like how I'm not domesticated like they are. Fearful that their husbands might be influenced by my family dynamic.

Now before you get into the "had to get a gook" bit, which I've heard on here more times than I can count, I've banged too many white girls in the US as well as in her country. When I married her in Fuqing I had a Serbian 8/10 pack it all up early, breaking her teaching contract, and go home on suicide watch.

Woah, you're just finding me now? My original account was Jan 2021.

I was in China where the internet's heavily restricted. Was looking for manospher related content on Bing and found this site.
