My advice. Work hard, Play Harder, Love Hardest

Surround yourself with Family and Friends. No one should go through lifes journey alone and it is much easier surrounded by family and friends


Yet, I've only spend 15 years in this world, but one thing I've learned.

I, Atleast, have experienced to always end up walking alone. That'd might just be my choices, my story. I'm not saying there ain't truth in those words lol


I also prefer solitude most the time, but I still love spending time with my family, and I have a few close friends I enjoy spending time with. I think its actually damaging to the human psyche to live in complete solitude.


Then again, I enjoy it but it sometimes seems to be "forced" when you need it the least. I got no reason not to hide, that I have problems but, I don't show them to people, beside s very little handful, which ain't even my family :P

The human mind is a maze, and a hard one too.

I myself like times alone too, can't focus when you are trying to understand what others are saying and doing something at the same time.

At the end of what they say you would just be like, "Agh? Okay."

And they continue and you have no clue what they are saying anymore and you just ignores them, by nodding.
"Got ya."

I've got problems understanding myself at times. But hey, somewhere, alone, with a book is rather enjoyable. Can't love it more when the power is out, it's storming outside and you've got to use candles to light up so you can read.. Sadly, that's a once in a lifetime here in Denmark :(

I'll just leave this here.

‘The Five Top Regrets of the Dying’, the most common one was this:

I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.

you will feel that way many times in your life. My best recommendation is think about what defines you as an individual, think about your successes and failures. Push your boundaries and try something new. Above all know this,
1. you can almost never screw up in such a bad way that you cannot recover from it.
2. It's never too late to change or learn something new.

Indeed. Wondered for a long time if there was ever going to be more to my life than punching a clock at the same job I'd been at for 17 years. I have a family, so that has a whole slew of adventures of its own, but work afforded little time for them, and my heart was elsewhere and not in my job.

If you had told me 5 years ago that today my family and I would be living on the edge of civilization in the Amazon jungle in South America I'd have told you yer nutz. But received an unexpected invitation one day and now, here we are... God has a funny way of doing things in our lives sometimes.

There is more to do in this world than one life could ever cover. You just may not be far enough down the road to see it yet. Life is a grand adventure, but sometimes the wind is still and the sun beats down on you on a flat, hot sea... and you wonder if your ship will ever start moving again. Hang in there, and keep your sails ready...

Or in the words of Tom Hanks immortalized character in the movie Castaway-

"You just need to keep breathing. You never know what the tide is going to bring in next." ;)

It almost sounds like a guide to playing Pirates Glory :beer

@ Grim: Have you been reading The Catcher in the Rye perhaps?

You are not the only one to have these thoughts and as Phoenix said you'll have them as you grow older too. The good news that as you grow older you learn to relax, take things in your stride and listen more critically to those that try to sell you on their definitions of success. Chances are they were probably sold on those ideas by someone else and need to convince you to make themselves feel better. Simple things matter. I'm old and still treat myself to ice cream once a week.
