I think you need a therapist, dawg.
I have a new nephew now...he's 18 and a gf...its amazing lol
Let me help you out. Your life is meaningless. Yours, mine, everyone's. Our entire planet's existence is nothing but a small speck existing for a blip of time in the incomprehensible vastness of space. Nothing you or I or anyone else will ever do will have a lasting effect on the universe, which will one day also cease to exist.
Go back to drinking beer/margaritas and enjoy the time you have.
You never cease to amaze me, you are the anchor of all your relatives looking for a refuge?
I knew this was a Jayburner thread before I opened it.
It's either him getting old or his nephews screwing him over.

I'm 35, single with no kids, my fear is losing my parents and aunts/uncles, that's the shittiest part of getting older to me, the people you love get older too but they're 30 years ahead of you.
Positive side is I look 26 and look good so I'll always have that going for me unless I get in a bad accident and mangle my face up.
Im on a binge watch of The Wonder Years. So yes I do feel the march of time, i was about 8 years old when it started.
Makes me think of my childhood and all the stuff I did, the long hot summers just messing around for what seemed like an eternity. In just a blink of an eye m almost 37 and wondering what life holds for me.
"Would you please let me join your p-p-party?
Well, Im only 33 but already destroyed my back. Every day is pretty rough, but I'm getting by. I know with age it will only get worse. However, my dad who I have pretty much thought was immortal up to this point, who is 62, is finally starting to fall apart. Something seems to be wrong with him every other day. I am glad he's retiring in 3 years.
Hmmm... Yep, same guy who constantly chickens out when challenged to put out his own information. I see he's posting stuff like this, judging others while dodging the question about his own marital status in one of his infidelity threads.Originally Posted by Tennis
On topic: 59 here. I don't really pay much attention to time as it passes. It always feels a bit odd to look back at something that seems not so long ago and realize that a decade or two have passed. I was supposed to kick off before I was 50, but I'm absent minded and keep forgetting to. I have plans that will keep me active and busy for the next twenty years at least.
@Jayburner Keep your mind active and take reasonable care of yourself and I agree with @Shadowferal that middle age is a far broader window than it once was. Let your mind get dull, let your body get run down, let yourself become aimless -- you can easily let yourself feel like a wreck when you're still in your 40s.

With COVID-19 making its impact on our lives, I have decided that I shall hang in there for my remaining days, skip some meals, try to get children to experiment with making henna patterns on their skin, and plant some trees. You know -- live, fast, dye young, and leave a pretty copse. I feel like I may not have that quite right.
Meh I'm still young with 27 years behind me, almost 28.
I keep getting told. you look like one in their thirties and act like on in their early twenties.
ill be hitting 30 this year, never wantedto die so badly
