Today, I was looking over some old notes from high school when I came across a list of things I wanted to accomplish by the time I'm 25. I haven't accomplished a single one. I'm 26. FML

Wasted youth

Today, I’m 25 years-old. I was unattractive in high school and college. In the last two years I’ve glown up. Also, rent, gas, and food have all gone up in price. I can’t afford dates and I've had to work weekend nights at every job since I was 18. I hate these “rich kids” my age. FML

Today, I was trying to work out, and couldn't even complete an exercise regime meant for 50-year-olds. I'm 24. FML

Figure it out

By brosef - 17/02/2024 11:00 - United States

Today, I'm a guy who's always been physically a late bloomer. In high school, I looked too young for girls to like me. At 22, I still looked 17. Now at 25, I look good but when girls find out my age, they expect me to have everything figured out by now. I never got to be young. FML

Today, I'm nearly 30 years-old, and not only am I still a virgin, I've never even had my first kiss. FML

Time

Today, I used to look so young for my age that in high school, I was regularly mistaken for a freshman. I never succeeded in getting dates because of it. Today, I'm 25 years-old and regularly get confused for being in my thirties. I guess all the stress from work, loneliness, and rejection really caught up. FML

Turned out OK

Today, I found my high school diary and decided to read it for nostalgia. My teenage self wrote, “Future me will totally be rich, famous, and married to Chris Hemsworth by 30.” I’m 32, single, and googling “How to fix a clogged toilet.” FML

Alexa, play "Don't Give Up" by Peter Gabriel

Today, I've come to terms that I'm only living to work. I'm going to be 25, no friends, never had any experience with women. Been trying all year to meet someone, hasn't worked out at all. Dead end job, school did nothing for me. I literally just exist to work, and have no happy memories at all. I give up. FML

Today, I realized that even though I was an honor student throughout school, and considered the golden child who was going to go far in life, all I've accomplished a year after graduation is becoming an unemployed single mother still living with my parents. FML

Kinda depends on the goals. If they were like "become the next Hitler" or "kill many babies" I'd say it's good you haven't accomplished them.

#27: Get real now. Who sets up reams to be a failure? And let's see, how do you really tell sarcasm over a computer... hmm, that's a tough one... how about *SARCASTIC* or something? Just a hint for next time so you don't come across as the fool trying to give a lecture over the internet.

As long as you're happy now what does it matter? If there's things on the list that you think will make you a better person or happier in some way then do them, but if they are things like "grow a full beard" and you are currently hairless then is it really going to be life changing for you?

Throw away the list! You have no idea where life is going to take you, so obsessing over a list when you were in high school is silly. You will probably end up with a job that you didn't even know existed when you were in HS!

This isn't a FML or YDI because life changes...things that you wish to do at one point in your life might not be what you want later on. If you still want to do the things on the list, do them. But don't restrain yourself to a deadline.
