I was so terrified of this happening that I spent my whole life until 35 basically doing all the crazy quests and collecting all the pointless loot I could. The fact that I managed to stick the landing at 40 is basically a glitch/exploit. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Was it the right decision? Am 21, wasted a lot of that time. I fear the same thing permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] BrundleFly2077@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago* My man, I cannot recommend it. It worked for me out of sheer blind luck. It could have gone horribly. And I mean, it could have ended up with me on the streets, permanently, in any number of countries. It could have wound up with me in a morgue a few times 🤣 Looking back, especially in the context of how well things turned out for me, I probably wouldn’t change a thing… but it took a lot of danger and a lot of heartache and a fair whack of my dignity to get here. Maybe that’s the cost of running hot until your 40s? There has to be a middle ground out there that I wasn’t motivated enough to find. I hope you find it. Take some risks, but look after yourself. You’re gonna be old one day and you’ll need some left in the tank :) Addendum: At 21 it’s impossible to say you’ve wasted any of your time. This has all been the onramp so far. It’s fine 👍🏻 permalink fedilink source parent
