24 and I feel like I’m running out of time. Every year that passes just reminds me of how much time I wasted. Should’ve finished college by now, should’ve had my own place, should’ve built something for myself. Instead, I spent years rotting, being lazy, and now I’m paying the price.

I see people my age living the life I should have, and it eats me alive. Meanwhile, I’m here about to start college late as fuck, still living at home, still catching up on basic life experiences. I hate knowing that if I had just locked in earlier, I’d be in a completely different position right now.

Every day I wake up with this sense of urgency, but also with the weight of all the time I lost. I can’t afford to waste another year.

I also feel that sometimes to a bigger or lesser extent..

But then I go and watch live on Twitch or YouTube some old faggots streaming for an audience of like 300-800 people, them having between 25 and 40 years old having a miserable life, still playing some dumb competitive video games and still getting pissed at them, them being isolated in a trash can city, with no education, no career, no money, with online friends only (usually teenagers) working some dumb NPC shift job for just enough money to survive from month to month..

And then I feel much much better..

Some of those medium viewership streamers actually make good money, average salary in 1st world that it is enough to keep them in a low cortisol job, plus they usually own a YT channel, TT and monetize off them

Same i have a shitty job and finishing my studies but i know i could have so much more if i wasnt an abused dog with severe mental issues
 
i'm 54. i've experienced several life stage crises. maybe 5 or 6 major ones. first in my late teens when confronted with the reality that i need to leave high school, go to university and pick a major which will determine my career and the rest of my life. the latest crisis i experienced was last year when i finally accepted time has finally run out, althought it may have run out 30 years ago and i was just holding onto false hope

Hey, that's what a friend of mine said once, when he turned 24 or 25 he was like: "the good half of the better half of life is now over...". I mean after that, it's just work, responsibilities, family, etc., not much fun or enjoyment. Then the last half is old age, retirement, health problems, etc...
