5yr old me: I just want to go outside and play.
25yr old me: I just want to go outside and play.
50yr old me: I just want to go outside and play.
The demands remain the same.
Try going for happy. That tired part doesn’t go away.
Oh no
I find that the tired part is easier to swallow if you instead think of it an a happy opportunity to put on some music and rest your eyes.
The tired just gets deeper and closer to the soul
And as a 53-year old, just trying to be and reamain sane is my main priority.
35-year-old me: I don’t care about being tired and wanting to be happy anymore, I just want to have my basic needs met and humanity to be better.
Humanity to be better? I feel like I’ve already given up hope on that and I’m 7 years your junior
37 here.
I have zero hope in humanity. Sure, you’ll wave your signs and protest like we all have and do, but less will as rightwing rhetoric destroys more young minds minute by minute. I can’t even keep a damn microphone on any game anymore without hearing lib this and lies that.
This shit has been going on for over 40 years. Good luck.
Just want to work less and for stuff to be cheap
As a 20 year old, I have both :')
Still want to do uni and make a name for myself, achieve some cool things for the world & humanity, but at the same time I feel like just “making the most of it,” and try being content just messing around with electronics and FOSS in my free time… But I guess that can just be my back-up if university doesn’t pan out.
Network. Get to know people. That’s what my parents never got across. People can hand you jobs in Uni. Out there you have to scruff for them and fight tooth and nail for a crappy job regardless of your SAT scores. The bigger thing that I never understood: you don’t make yourself. Other people bolster you into positions. It’s not cheating. It’s how the system works.
Gonna save this comment, thanks. Stuff like this is difficult to plan out when you didn’t expect to get this far to begin with lol
Yeah, sorry. The world isn’t done with you yet.
:'(
You know, you’d be a lot prettier if you smiled more often.
I want to be a professor so I can do Foss stuffs. I see a lot of flexibility on the type of tech used by professors.
34 year old me: I want to be unalive.
Jonny Kim: Hold my beer.

I always wonder if he has any siblings, like and what did you do? “I sold more units this quarter and got a congratulatory certificate with a $25 Applebee’s gift card”.
So if I get a PhD in engineering field and become a professor. All I need is a chance to get to space and I’ll get everything. Nice
Dam, at 25 I still felt great. I think it started taking its toll on me every year after that though. 30 onward everything is tiring, it was a good run…
I just wanna make video games and eat carbs.
I don’t even mind being tired.
I would settle for, “not tired”.
I feel as you
Pardon the trite advice, but it really is a marathon, not a sprint.
How ever you’re feeling is a-okay, but if you find things to look forwards too, lean into them.
