I hope I don't panic, and dump or waste money in some 'mid life crisis' moment Mid life crisis is a time when many waste a ton of money on 'nothing' just to prove to themeselves they still 'got it'. And mainly if say working class, that money usually and always wasted on a new vehicle, to prove to self and others that 'Hey look at me, I'm still hip'.  No ones immune to this impulse, not even 'me'. Cause lately I've been looking at newer vehicles, or brand new vehicles, as in sports cars, and that's a bad sign, and what I call a 'money dump'. I mean if I go nowhere now, have no friends now, not sure how having a nice new hot rod type vehicle will change that, sure I'll be 'more cool' in my own mind, but other than that what would it really change about my current reality?...nothing. Only now I'd have payments again, or could pay cash for decent used late model sports car I suppose, but still it's a money dump done out of panic, or the need to validate self. A better way to 'money dump' would be in the markets, as in joining a brokerage firm and allowing them to leverage your money and grow it, but that's not as 'sexy' as just buying a new car. Cause no one sees your 'money growing' in the stock market, but eyes, people, do see you driving up and down road in new sports car, and neighbors notice, and maybe just enough to get that shy person to open up to you? I don't know. The best things to spend our money on often just aren't very sexy at all, is the bottom line. Good luck with your midlife crisis. Continued from above I thank the heavens that I didn't get a newer used car, I mean life may be hard for me right now, but at least I don't have 500+ car payments to add to my misery every month. Rents going up, everything is going up, beer is going up, the last thing I need is a car payment. And or it would of forced me to get a roommate or second job, but then just living as a slave. |

The older I get, the less I seem to really care about anything, I think fate has decided my fate
Special guest, the dizzy sissy.

I no longer feel moved or compelled to help anyone anymore when I myself have needed, could used help, for so many years.
My situation has never mattered to others so why should their situations matter to me now?
And that's not said out of coldness.
I just no longer feel much, or anything, for those who have ignored me for decades.
I'm speaking of family members here.

I think sometimes you just drift so far apart from family as you age, and everyone changes so much, that you become strangers to one another, and there's no way to really create that bond again.
That's usually up to the younger generation.
But like my cousins, they're so far and different from how I remember them decades ago, they're strangers to me now, they've adopted certain styles and mindsets that seem lunar to me.
I probably have more in common with chinese people than I do my own cousins now.

People are turning nastier and nastier.
It's hard to scroll through the headline news now, cause so much of it is grim, human on human violence.
People roaming around without conscious.
You never know they don't have a conscious until they act out.
Things are getting scary now, or I should say people are.
Monsters in human form, are allowed to live amongst us.
Democracy and a free society only work when you have upright, law abiding citizens, if not, it simply turns into hell.

I'm trying not to look to far ahead into my own future anymore, cause the future, my future, just seems like a dark scary place right now to me.

Sometimes I feel so tired, and then realize still have so far to go  I'm tired, tired of losing, tired of making the wrong decisions in life, tired of being alienated from caring people, and instead cursed to have uncaring people in my life circle. I'm tired of drinking, and the after effects of, I'm tired of not being able to focus on stuff long enough to accomplish anything meaningful. I'm tired of always picking up after myself, I'm tired of my job, I'm tired of not being loved. I'm tired of a lot of things, tired of being poor, tired of not being able to help those few I still do care about. Tired of social medias bias, tired of political corruption, tired of cars, traffic, industrial noise. I'm just tired, yet still have a ways to go, whatever am I going to do??

In with the new, out with the old, time waits on no one
Time waits on no one...
Brace yourselves for 2024, I stopped liking the future years ago, I find the future to be very corrosive to life.

Life is really starting to crumble apart for some people that I know, who made terrible decisions in the past, and now those decisions are catching up to them.
Sometimes these people can be relatives or just friends or lose acquaintances.
No one listens to you until reality comes hitting them in the face.

Also, there just comes a time when you've gotta do what's right for you, instead of always feeling like you must do what's right for others....cause those 'others' have never been there for you.
Let them rot, the way they wanted you to rot years ago.

Seems no matter what, and eventually, as you grow older, you life begins to sink, and break apart, like the Titanic.

What scares me the most right now, is the idea of getting older, and just living just to get by.
My creative side is such an important part of who I am, but you need to be in a stable environment to do so.
The side the world sees when I show up to work isn't all of me, and I don't really like that side...I mean I do, but it bugs me that people can't see I'm much more than that.
I don't want my creative side to ever die, my creative side is what keeps my spirit alive....not that I've ever made money from my creative art, and it's many forms...but still.
I fear just turning into some mundane older worker who's lost their 'shine'.

Keep life simple, as you age
Don't be a slave to junk and 'stuff', as you age; rather keep your life as simple and free of mental and physical clutter as you can, and you'll know happiness and freedom like never before.
Gen X.
