been worn down several times in my life. 51 now, and at the best time of my life. my daughter is a sophmore at columbia univ, i am making more money than i ever have and feeling pretty good. hoping to make it another 30 years. people tell me i have more of a positive attitude than anybody else they know . i try to never be in a bad mood.
get rid of shit you don't need. You might be surprised at how much YOU WON't miss them. Grab and backpack, your passport, smart phone, your bank card and travel the world. Start in Asia. You can do it cheap. I did it last year for 3 months. You will have memories forever. I can't wait to do it again. Maybe for a year this time.
Viejo's a great guy, and I have enjoyed every minute of the time I've spent with him at bashes. But to the OP, the problem with statements like these is that they make the person suffering feel like they are alone, and that everyone is out having a great time everyday, and that they need to get with the program and stop being a pussy. The cute line that everyone uses is that they "live life to the fullest." I don't have the slightest idea what that means. Does it mean you go on more vacations than everyone else? That you make more money? That you get excited to wake up everyday and take care of the all the trivial responsibilities you have?
OP- You need to find people that will support and encourage you. People that have been where you are. I'm fortunate to have some of the best friends in the world, people that really care and are there for me. Likewise, I'm there for them. Many people do not have that support system. Look at Tiger Woods, you think he was happy with all that money and fame? People have issues. Trust me, I know this because I know people better than most. I've never been to an AA meeting, but I have a good friend that goes regularly to AA meetings. He's met some great people that are not too proud to let their guard down and be real. You might want to attend an AA meeting and just observe regular fucked people caring about each other.
