Username doesn't check out, but is oddly relevant.

"Now I'm almost 29"

And still in your same boyhood bedroom? Sounds about right. I'm burned out too.

Those stars get a time most of us don't, a time to truly recharge. That's something I've really started striving towards, finding and making more time to be with the people, doing the things, that rekindle the fire.

I can't say it's made everything perfect, but I've been feeling better since finding them, and while there's some wells they can't help refill, the ones they do are enough to keep me going a little while longer, until I can find and share with them what does, and so I can keep helping refill theirs.

Little did they know that they threw a layer of radium on your ceiling. Oops!

What brand are they? These typically do burn out over time. You got some good ones.

I was gonna say I never had anything glow in the dark that last very long.

Maybe a T-shirt and a strange stress ball like thing

I would advise against using a UV light in a teenager boy's room.

You need to treat the surfaces with a sprayed chemical to get the really exciting fluids to show under UV

What kind of burnout? I am close to a caregiver burnout due to my depressed ADD partner. It’s weird when work feels like a chill out area.

You should really be careful with commitments to industries that are sponsors at your vocational school. They are there to "consume".

The parents just brought the realistic star package, the producers removed the proto-star phase due to people throwing them away thinking it didn't work.

Seems this wallpaper acts like a reverse Dorian Gray portrait... Very dangerous and perverse way of decorating a room.
