Most people will never accomplish anything that will set them apart from the majority or leave a legacy. And most people are okay with that.

When you really think about it, it doesn't matter. Live life, enjoy it. There's really no other point


But of course alot of people would love to leave a mark but... eh

Lots of good answers in this thread. For me, this-

The only time most of us ever truly experienced happiness were as children, and in our teenage years. It's like the older you get, people start to treat happiness as some sort of goal to obtain instead of just allowing it to happen, and experiencing it as wonderful, yet fleeting moments in time. And most attach happiness to materialism; which only helps to fuel their unhappiness.

Life has a very funny way of humbling people. Most people I know of who went around judging and making fun of others, and those who were spoiled, and given everything by their parents were soon hit with the very hard reality of life as they got up in their 20's. Most of them also went on to make some very poor life choices.

Wealth and success depend more on mind state than anything else. With that said, the law of attraction is very real.

Most of your classmates, outside of a few ain't going to amount to much in life no matter how much of a "gifted", overachiever they were. And the ones that did were the nerds, and outcast. These are also usually the most interesting people as well.

Of all the friends you grew up with, only about 1 or 2 you'll maintain friendships with throughout life. In adulthood, most people look at friendships selfishly; in a business type manner of "how they will benefit me."These same people will then go around and complain about how everyone around them are fakes, and a bunch of snakes. Genuine friendships based on trustworthiness, and how well you vibe with someone are looked at as pretty foreign.

^And to ad to that, after a certain age, people began to close off their social circles to others.

The older I get, I realize there really is no difference between children and adults. Every adult is just an overgrown child, myself included. And embrace your inner child, its good to remain young at heart.

I started talking to one of my classmates because I've been on some anti-social ish. We're chopping it up and she shows me her Snapchat with about 5 unopened messages and 3 nikkas she left on read. Her IG? nikkas in her DM's offering to smell her farts for a chance at eye contact with her. She also convinced her ex-in real time-to buy her a $500 Tiffany necklace, while also bragging that she doesn't even fukk him anymore and cheated on him. I thought simps and simping was exaggerated but man what a pathetic showing.
Oh, and being broke translates to almost every other part of life :mjcry:


Yea I would say the majority of beautiful women under 30 who have social media have someone at least partially subsidizing their lifestyle.

There aware

Its just that when u offer solutions they say yeah ur right and never do it

Or once that problem is gone they find something else to whine about it

Like for example how I have to constantly tell a girl to stop getting into relationships with dudes who are obviously aint shyt dudes. Shes like yeah ur right but I love him. Then complains about him . Then complains about u not wanting to hear her complain.

Or telling a fat person how to lose weight and they argue against the facts. Then complain about being fat.

They want to be miserable


When I was severely depressed, I did this often, it took a lot of effort to get out of that negative mindset. I had to reflect and truly realize what I wanted out of life, it took me a year to reach the right conclusions. Now, I am on " a self improvement kick", and whenever I think self loathing negative thoughts, I remind myself of my goals.

That a life without mistakes is impossible, and that you can't escape criticism. That, perfection can include failures. I realized that it is impossible to escape criticism, it will find its way towards you. That you should use criticisms as a foundation to grow. I wish my parents taught me how to accept failure. It would have saved me a lot of depressive mood swings :russ:

Only in America men put p*ssy on a pedestal. Travel more and enjoy life and women actually aporecaite men. And of course, being rich is very important in life.

My parents are getting older and it's a hard realization. They're starting to stop tidbits on how their will is structured, how they want to be taken care in old age etc. it's only in passing and I can tell they know I won't wanna talk about it, bc when we do it'll really make it a reality :mjcry:

Insignificant posting from an insignificant poster
Your wealth is not determined by how many dollars are in your account or digits in your checks...


Pure wealth is weighed by how far you can see, breathe and experience life after today.



At 35, and after seeing my mom pass of cancer two years ago (and my sister recently being diagnosed with collitis as a result of being stressed from momma's passing)...



My ultimate life goal is to treat my body right. Live well, eat well... so i can play well.



It's what momma would have wanted...




And what i need.





oxoxoxo.
