Is anyone else scared of falling into the cookie cutter lifestyle?

[666 ReVeNGe 666]

Idk where I'll live but this shyt is painful as fukk man.

Sitting in a damn desk

Having to ask if I can take the day off

Waiting 2 weeks for a pre-fixe check

I hate the cookie cutter lifestyle of school, work, wife, kids, die

It's scares me

Its the stability.

The older people get the more they realize stability is more important, less draining and more peaceful than the YOLO lifestyle.

I'm saying this sitting at my desk, working for the State, coding up some shyt like a 9-5 neckbeard, with a kid waiting when I get home. I have no desire to stay like this, but I can see why some people do. That fast life just takes too much energy for the avg nikka to maintain forever.

If Im still broke by 23 I leaving the country

This life aint waiting for no one and its gonna come with ups and downs regardless so might as well make the most of it.

Get out there and experience new sht! Get fresh perspectives on your old life, live new.

You might just find that you fit in somewhere but staying in your boring azz town/city/state/country aint gonna do that for you on it's own

Might just go out there with stack to Thailand and become a P I M P


Might go out there to Belize and enjoy all that tropical real estate (just gotta watch out for them bot flies)


Might go to Nigerian and the Congo and Mozambique and Angola and what not to fight the good fight and make sure my brothas is on


Point is you're never really out of options. You think that's the way you gotta live but you can make it better for yourself. You have to take risks and often times risks that you feel you aren't ready to make. In any event; Life goes on.

No cuz I'm not making the same choices as people who live that cookie cutter lifestyle do what everybody else is doing and wonder why ya life is like every ones elses..cosign dude who said the stability...but also its the convenience...creating a so-called stable life doesn't take too much effort...the only thing people really sacrifice is their time...u wanna live extraordinary? then u gonna have to put in tremendous time and effort in the beginning of your adulthood without the "stability"....much easier to do when u are young and childless

That's very true.
Fast life is rough.
And taxing on the body.
Idk...life is crazy.

If you have a dream for something better then what are you waiting for? But if you don't then I'm afraid that's pretty much your life.

 

[Standing on business]

thats why I stunt motorcycles and ride wheelies on the freeways at night, it counteracts that boring desk shyt I do all day.

Does he have to!?


You gotta be fiscally responsible baby


Or..... WAit


Don' t tell me you already got kiiiids my nikka

Simple. Your life is no longer "yours". Your money is no longer yours. Your "me" time becomes almost non-existant. Wanna just up and quit a miserable job like you could when it was just you? Nope. Wanna move to another state or country on a whim? Nope. You can no longer live for yourself. Once you have a kid, every decision you make has to be made with with them in mind. Thats why alot of people get into a monotonous lifestyle once married and with kids. Your adventurous, care-free comes to an end. Get it in while you're single and childless or choose to remain that way. There's no laws saying you HAVE to get married and have kids. Do you. Do what makes YOU happy.

 

[MikelArteta]

Don't you have a kid breh?

Is it hard always being on the road?

I think every young man has thus fear, like one day you'll put the kids to bed, have your wife tell you "not tonite", and as you glance back at the bathroom mirror one last time before you hit the sack you seelookin back at you
