Getting up there

[wiccanwolf09]

Okay so my birthday is comming up and I relized that I am going to be 23 and I have done nothing. Does anyone else feel like that sometimes?  

[Maddie Pryor]

I've done things...  

[Bao Sanniang]

I want to get married (preferably to a single mother, but if not I'd rather adopt than pass on my crappy genes), and maybe do some other things typically done when young, before I turn 30.

I turned 25 this year! gonk  

[Pink Fregia]

I had goals...things I wanted to do/see before I turned 50. Well that's in October. I don't see them happening. crying

Its good to have goals in life, but sometimes things will or might happen that would detour those goals so I'm pretty much a believer of "Live each day Like your Last" its more enjoyable that way and I had less regrets like that. Its also led me to meet some awesome people along the way and some funny and wacky adventures.

23 is still really young. I wouldn't worry about it. So long as you have reachable goals. That's all you can do. Have a happy birthday and don't fret. ^_^

Done nothing? Have you ever made a person laugh, helped a friend, comforted someone, made anyone's day a little better? You've done plenty. Success is who you are, not what you are. Don't worry, be happy biggrin  

[Arashi V6 Dream]

I have done a lot, and I am happy and proud of it. However,the road to reach my goals has been a long one filled of detours. Even if you haven't done much of what you want to accomplish don't worry! At 23 I had just started my new path, and I should hopefully finish it at 25 *knocks on wood* But had you asked me if I was happy or trying to accomplish anything pre-23 I would have laughed at you. Sometimes it just takes time... Good luck this year and if you just try your best you will definitely do "something" 3nodding

33/single male... >.< Having asperger's I think is my obstacle for a lot of things especially finding love. And I'm having to get SSI because I can't work due to my illness. I'm even trying college again, this time online. Seems kind of harsh going back to school at 33 and not having a job, but I know I'm not the only one that old doing it online.

Getting up there? Are you serious? You're only 23. Why in the world everyone these days seems to think that if you haven't made yourself a millionaire or some sort of global success story by the ripe old age of 25, I'll never figure out. But this I know for certain: You've barely gotten started.

There is so much out there to do, and try, that if you think that you were going to make a name for yourself by now, you've probably been measuring yourself against the wrong ruler. Ignore Hollywood, forget every self help or instant success book you've ever heard about or read, and just get out there.

Do things, screw up, live life. You probably feel like you haven't amounted to anything because you haven't given yourself time.

Relax, chill, and enjoy the ride!
