What was your "Golden Age" user? The time you felt most alive and there was energy in the world. Are you obsessed with it? Stuck there wishing you could just feel that again?
What was your "Golden Age" user? The time you felt most alive and there was energy in the world...
Now, got a good paying job, own a car, college educated, engaged. So yeah, earlier in life I was a sad sack of shit. Now I feel much better.
between the ages of 18-22 I was on top of the world. was fucking my ex from high school, her best friend, and some random emo chick I met on the internet. drove a 90's Camaro I fixed up, had a full time job, was earning my AA, and finding new hobbies like cooking, juggling, wood burning. Now I'm an unemployed alcoholic. Am currently sipping on vodka straight from the plastic handle while I watch the same shitty futurama re runs on CC. Thinking I might end it pretty soon. I am not a happy person.
Right on. Hold onto that energy user.
Doing my best right now. Still trying to get rid of my bad habits e.g. smoking. But I feel like everything is going just fine. Also, thanks
Probably when i was 16.
Good friends with common goals and interests, a wonderful girlfriend, no taxes to pay, new music was something I used to get excited about, new places, new people, new experiences. I was hungry for life and indulged heavily.
All things must come to an end eventually though.
How'd you get to this point? Why can't you turn things around with a little effort?
Senior year - I was like a drone through HS. I had friends and fit in fine - even had girls show interest in me. But by senior year is when I actually blossomed. I was working a good job (for a Hs senior), had good friends, smoked weed, went on trips. It's been downhill the last 3 years but I'm tryna get back up there.
Good for you, user. I’m almost there. Freshly graduated, in Masters program. Just gotta find that big boy job.
Imagine peaking in high school. How depressing.
June 1998 - December 2001
Great friends. Black Metal, Horror movies were exciting. Passion for writing. Nature felt alive. Got in really shape at one point. Girlfriends. Sex. Everything felt so energetic and significant, and even if things went bad, humor was everywhere. Didn't have to work at the time because stupid teen. Didn't even need drugs or booze back then.
Now I'm a fucking miserable fat drunk who has overdosed on way too many blackpills and I have no physical or mental energy, don't care about anything/alternately hate everything. Can't laugh unless I'm wasted. Do and say bizarre and outright dangerous shit while black out drunk. Life is terrible. For a brief time it felt magical. I'm greatful I know a lot of cunts who didn't have a good time when they were a teen, if ever. I was lucky. I had a fucking blast.
It is depressing user believe you me. And it's just lame to say, but it is what it is.
You're telling me.
Imagine living better days than most will ever experience before youre 30.
I'm the user you replied to, but peaking in the sense of friends, good times, NO RESPONSIBILITY. I'm in a community college so it doesn't have that party environment like a uni does. I'm just tryna establish myself right now.
That's the thing. On one hand yeah maybe it's a bit sad to peak in HS on the other hand a lot of people never peak. Or maybe they are successful but never truly HAPPY. For a few years there I was doing pretty good and really happy and energetic. Some cunts never feel alive EVER.
Percocet is always a fun time :D
currently am 19, best age for me was 12, no social media bullshit, i had 2 best friends at school and i was hanging out with my crush at the time, we were friends, nothing more but it was okay, i had my first and favourite hamster, school was actually fun, it was great, i had love for music which my crush also introduced me into, i started drawing at the time, i was really into videogames and eager to play a lot (of whatever my laptop could handle). i still have that 7 year old laptop. it still works, a sweet memory from back then
now i have a boyfriend, whos not that crush, i stopped talking to those 2 friends forever, i live a miserable life with 1 one friend whos trans and i feel like is constantly lying to me and one friend who idk if she likes me or not cuz i feel like she thinks im not worth enough if i cant make it
anyway i dont wanna go back to that time but i really think that was the happiest year, after that everything went to shit.
>feeling alive
>ever
couldn't tell ya
The last 2-3 years of highschool. No worries, no cares, so much fun. College was OK. Post-grad was better than college in terms of fun. Now I'm an adult who is "successful" but life has lost its sheen. Work, home, eat, sleep, rinse, repeat.
It will come eventually, in the beginning you will probably take shitty jobs just to start somewhere. Later on you will find something better. Just dont give up at the first hurdles, keep pushing, even though sometimes it will look like a shitty outcome.
20. middle of college, felt like i was actually doing things that matter. had a gf who i was fucking daily.
Yep several times since my HS golden age I've been quite successful but it didn't matter because I either felt dead or miserable.
Every year has been better than the next for me. Currently 27. I think a lot of it has to do with getting more perspective and wisdom. Highschool was okay, but I never was a cool kid, and never even had a gf then. College was better, but I was still unsure of who i was as a person. Now Im confident in my abilities in work, with women, and myself.
30 right now, my best years were around 21-25, good job, lots of energy and free time, had the will to do things. Now I'm but a shadow of my former self because of years of successful self destructive behavior
By far I honestly don’t know what my golden age was. At most I believe it has yet to come.
isn't 35-40 supposed to be the best age for men? these answers make me doubt that
most of these people haven't even made it to that age. SO they wouldn't know.
27 maybe. My wife had just received her settlement. Wide eyed we got an apartment together. And two years later the money was gone. A third year later I'm here posting on Yea Forums to ignore suicidal thoughts and ideas.
probably just my whole early 20s, before i racked up injuries and developed chronic joint pain.(am 34 now) don't ever work as an x-ray tech in a nursing home by yourself... i dun goofed with that profession
Whwn i was like 15yo. Long time ago
14, I was actually social with people and i got my first girlfriend but she went to a differnt school after the year ended.
Wherever you are at the moment. Carpe Diem fuckhead.
Probably now, tbh.
i bought more metalhead shit as young adult and started to play guitar cos i hate this slave system
this makes me feel sexy and i love it
also chicks seem to like instantly metalhead me more than normie me so win-win
I think i've never been happy in my life, some people just can't be.
no
life is love and self expression
stop cutting yourself down and your lifesource will nurture you again
that takes facing yourself and interacting as your real feeling self with the world
fuck off, you are the kind of black metaller that Varg talks shit about. go listen to your shitty clownpaint music
Never had a golden age; that's why i'm the only one my age that's not siucidal or shit like that I guess.
So a protip: Never have mega good times; that way you can't feel bad about not having them anymore.
>listen to metal long time
>stay away from black metal cos it's 2edgy4me
>life gets shittier
>dive full into black metal while drunk
>get personal connection to it
I think not, he meant death metal kids in the 90s who jumped into it and were mainstream kiddos trying to fit in, also nowadays he doesnt make black metal but folk music and doesnt listen to metal so wtf he knows?
