Reply to comment by Wastenotwant in [Image] Randomly came across this on Instagram and it really hit me by maximum-aloofness

I’m 48. I’ve made bad choices in my adult years that have led to a very sub-optimal life and I’m paying for it.

I’m very overweight and that is a direct result of bad decisions or lack of good decisions on my part.

I’m lonely and miserable because of social awkwardness/shyness that I didn’t deal with over the years.

I spent years getting low wages because I was too afraid to speak up for myself or look for better-paying jobs.

I know whose fault it is that I’m not happy: mine.

Awareness is the first step.

You ain't dead yet, friend. Don't give up on yourself.

It comes and goes. Some days I think “why bother?” and other days I make long term plans. Especially with my recent break up, I really need to follow those plans.
