Back when I was in school they told me I was supposed to enjoy my youth and that it would be about the best time of my life. What they actually did was to demotivate me regarding my future. School was hell. Life is much better nowadays.

I don’t know, I’m more and more satisfied with life the older I get

Yeah when I grew up I was a confused bag of hormones who had not yet learnt to deal with anything.

I think my expectations have just gotten more realistic?

Exactly. In youth, everything is important, and everything is a big fucking deal.
Over time, especially if you’re introspective (not everyone has this ability, it seems), you’ll come to temper those expectations.

Yeah other than my country falling apart my life is better at 39 than pretty much ever before. I’m genuinely happy. Again, other than the country stuff.
I damn sure wasn’t happy and confident like this at 18 or whatever. I’m hitting my stride.
