    Hah. I live alone, no kids, no house, no car. And I am usually fine with that.

    I live in a tower in the downtown of a big city and have a very nice view. I share a pool, a terrasse and gym on the roof. No need to maintain the pool, the concierge does that. No driveway to plow in winter, no grass to cut in summer. No house maintenance.

    I have free time and disposable income. I can travel anywhere I want, pretty much when I want it. I’m on my second trip in the Carribean since the beginning of the year.

    In summer I take multiple days to cycle for hundreds of kilometres to go camping/hiking in national parks and explore the great bike network of my region. I live on an island, pull my kayak with my bike and explore the waters around whenever I feel like it.

    Seeing my friends with kids not being able to get a free weekend once every few months, I don’t mind how things have turned out for me.

    Life is not a race, nor a sequence of specific milestones everyone has to achieve. Do whatever the fuck you want for yourself in life.

    That’s of course a bit difficult if these things are exactly what you want. However, go get therapy, carve something nice for you out of life and make yourself comfortable. Don’t compare yourself with people who have lived a mentally healthy life. It’s like comparing yourself with people who have healthy legs while yours are broken. They haven’t walked the same path you are walking. Maybe they wouldn’t even survive for so long if they were in your shoes. So forgive yourself and be proud that you are still here despite the shit raining on you everyday. That’s a lot of strength you’re showing.

    Yada yada yada, I know easier said than done. Ironic, coming from someone who has similar problems. But therapy has indeed helped to make things a bit better. Still working on it. There is hope. You can do it too.

    (And still continue to shitpost. ;) )

    I’m not even at the race track. I’m on a country road in the middle of nowhere and I’m perfectly happy about it.
