I've managed to live for a quarter of a century without accomplishing anything.

I almost feel like that in and of itself is an accomplishment.

If it makes you feel any better, none of this will matter in the end.

I dont know. Who knows in the near future they will be able to bring people back from death. Pretty sure they'll only bring back a limited amount of people whom accomplished greatness.

I'm just a few days younger than you and I feel the same way. Don't let it get you down though. I know you feel quite a few of your peers have it way better than you at this point in life, but your accomplishments are on their way. You just have to be patient. We're living longer now, and the baby boom generation refuses to retire leaving a lot of us to wait impatiently for our turn to make a difference. I don't know if you're unemployed like I am, but that's how I rationalize my situation.

I turn 27 in July and I've done nothing as well.

I have a little bit of community college and some IT experience, but that's it.

Well if you have a job (and maybe a car) you definitely accomplished more than many. Even successful graduation is some accomplishment. Could be much worse, like being a half-dead junkie.

That's cool.

At least you learned how to type and make threads on the internet. My Great-grandmother can't type at all.

Good job.

I doubt I'll live to 100.



Man, you have no idea how much I wish that were even remotely an option.

Why is it not an option? Go to a bar, hit on some ladies, get laid. It's not that hard, really.

Edit: or how snuggler said, an escort ;b

Turning 26 this year and feeling the same way. Being on the internet, seeing many way younger people achieve ridiculous things makes me feel even worse about myself :/

So congratulations.

So is this where people give you suggestions to potentially improve your situation, then you offer up excuses for each and every one of them? I feel like we've done all of this before. No offense, buddy.

I just don't want to risk getting arrested again. I don't think that's an unreasonable excuse.

I have pretty terrible luck in that I rarely break rules or laws, but when I do, I usually get caught.

Well, I was mostly joking about the prostitute part. But the more rules and laws you break, the better you get at it.

You're not supposed to acomplish anything, you're supposed to live life they way you want to and enjoy it.

As much as I find the motivational quotes fascinating I think they're one of the biggest lies ever. Acomplishments are often followed by deception, since there will be always someone surpassing you, no matter how long it takes.

Simply live, enjoy your stay, don't over criticise yourself for doing nothing special, it's not worth it.
