I suppose this is mostly a question of personal happiness and if you are happy with where you are, and how you approach each day.

Is your life what you would like, and if it's not, who's to blame?

no.

but that comic reminded me to check my email.

Same here. That's a pretty useful comic.

You're asking this question on a video gaming forum.

No for me.

I think my life is getting to where I would like it to be... but my own procrastination has cost me some months of relaxations as opposed to being in a state of constant worry... that I'm in now... but it's coming together... I'm hoping next month will finally be the "pinnacle" month so to say.

 

[eXistor]

No, but I'm perfectly happy the way it's going.

 

[Vennt]

Yep, although I'm a little annoyed at myself that it took until I was mid-20's to aim, work and get there. Somehow I let a gap between the years of 16 to 26 of drinking, partying and general assholishless convince me it was worth 10 years of my life.

It wasn't, instead I'm left with the slight taste of 10 wasted years.

 

[bjork]

All I can do is live my life, so yeah.

Doesn't pretty much everyone do that in their early 20s? I think you're being a bit rough on yourself.

 

[Mifune]

No. And the video games don't help.

 

[the year 20XX]

What's with these threads? Are you guys trying to get me to kill myself?

I guess, and I suppose the hindsight hits most people around the same time too.

It's partly just the idea of where I could be now if I hadn't.

Still, it was fun

Anyone who answers 'Yes' to your question probably has some screws loose.

Do you think that great, accomplished artists thought they were doing everything they could? No -- which drove them to producing great work.

You mean those self-same artists whose lifelong slog towards creating something perfect led most of them into severe manic depression, insanity and substance/self-abuse?

I think I'd prefer my screws loose

I believe people now have way too many distractions to really get shit done when and how they should be.

Most of us are guilty of this. Instead of getting out and doing shit, some of us sit at home playing vid games, which is fine. But what is at the end of the game? another game? You could of just been out meeting people, working on the house, doing shit constructive, etc. But hey whatever. It is what it is.

I've found myself playing less games because of this idea.

Like I said most of us are guilty of this.

 

[Systems_id]

No but I'm doing alot more than I was before.
