when i hit middle age

I've always heard the sob stories from washed up losers of how things will be when I get to be their age. Sad thing is, they have lived this life of sloth and laziness for decades. So, when they were in their late 20, early 30s. They were already pissing and moaning about old age and how their joints hurt and blah blah blah.

I'm now in my 30s. My joints don't hurt. I get tired, but just normal tired. I spent my entire life until 29 or so in crisis mode. I was always mentally exhaused which is 1000X worse than physical exhaustion. When I worked at a warehouse and did 13+ hour days, there were points where I was physically exhausted, NOTHING to the mental exhaustion I used to feel. Just throwing that out there before retarded cavemen comment like "Miii work. Mii git big piece of food. Man git remote. Physical work grants me the world!!!!" No.

And as far as middle age, and the cliches of a "mid life crisis" and everything that comes with it. I've already been through that.

In my very early 20s. I was working non-stop with no end in sight. No one loved me. I never could catch a break. I was poor. I was hopeless. The cliches of middle-aged life, for someone at an age where he was supposed to be "living it up."

Now, I'm at a point where I can live a modest, stable life. I'm a VERYYYY late bloomer in my life, and I'm not like the retards near my age who bitch and moan about the ridiculously hard labors of doing their own laundry and then pretending that their joints hurt. I also don't drink, do drugs, or participate in the sexual promiscuity that they all do.

I have things I want to do in my life. Very simple, attainable things. Puzzles, writing, going on a few simple trips. Doing this while still eating right and behaving appropriately while allowing myself to enjoy things for the first time. I am so much more motivated than other people, just because I never got to have a chance. These people who were always able to do shit, never did, and then they spend the rest of their lives bitching about it. All while STILL not doing anything to better their situation.

So, that leads me here. If I live to be in my late 40s and 50s+, I won't be like these washed up, middle aged losers who I've always heard my whole life. I won't be bitter and resentful of having not made anything of my life. I won't be a multimillioniare, I'll just be someone who had realistic, simple goals and actually met them.

I won't tell exaggerated bullshit stories of my childhood and how I desperately want to go back. Because A, my "childhood" was horrible and I'd never want to go back. And B, I won't be living in the past. Funny how someone who would actually have reason to obsess over his childhood won't be, yet the people who were spoiled fucks always talk about the shit nonstop like only they watched some TV show that was massively popular.

So yeah, I live to be that old, I won't be like the losers. And I won't be telling anyone any sob stories. The end.
