when i was 16 i never once pictured being 23 and living like this
i mean, if you read all of that, you'd probably be like "so whats the problem user"
but the problem is, im 23, and life is boring as fuck. what weird or crazy shit do you guys do when you're feeling bored? the highlight of my week has been gawking at a few asses at work, and having my car repaired. most of my friends are braindead, so doing cool shit with them is p much nonexistent.
is it time to kill myself Sup Forums

Unless you have shit loads of disposable income, the fun times of your life was highschool (and college if you attended.)
Now life is going to be a grind to survive, unless you land a much better job.
Enjoy.
Or don't.
Connor Wood
but when you score a better job that provides a shit load of disposable income, that job typically requires more attention/responsibility
meaning, less free time to live life, more time spent on being successful
are the weekends honestly the middle man? is that once a year little vacation people have honestly the silver lining?
why the fuck do people want to live like this?
Asher Wood
When I'm bored I try something new, a couple of weeks ago I decided I wanted to trail a mountain we have in my city, 4.5 km into the trial and I saw a black bear, 30 m away from me, full grown beautiful bear. Exciting that was!
Cameron Hernandez
you're out of your god damned mind, i would've shit myself
exciting though :+)
Chase Collins
>exciting though then that's what you should do trips demand it
Jayden King
Nice trips and yeah it scared the crap out of me but it was looking for garbage my fellow humans left around, here's a 1 lt water bottle for scale.
Ian Bell
fuck mane, how old are you to have enough time to just go take bear pics
Christopher Reed
well unfortunately, i live on the border of mexico, so no bears for me
desert for hundreds of miles
however, i'm sure there are some cool trails and shit to hop on.
maybe i can get lost in juarez, drinking in mexico is p cheap and a lot of the women there are beautiful as fuck
Cooper Richardson
bear guy here, before that, I found a cave and it had just one opening in the middle where light went through, turns out, the whole cave walls were riddled with spiders with two inches long legs. The point is, get out of your comfort zone, and for reference: >26 >halfway through college, lots of debts and failing. >carless >friendless >no gf in 2 years >recently unemployed >5'7 120ish lb Life's getting harder than ever but the moments user, sometimes there are moments.
Easton Martin
das cool Im your age and about in the same boat. Recently I met a friend of a friend that convinced me to go to a music festival because all our mutual friends are boring af. Had tons of fun, got super drunk ended up making friends with LOADS of random stranger caravans.
Nathaniel Campbell
where the hell do you live
Justin Jones
Do drug,change friends go feeling the nature do some rave live like a fucktard also hit the gym while doing all those thingd and life will be fucking gud
Joseph Green
Oh and for reference: >23 >Uni Dropout >commission based job lots of credit card debt >Hang out with friends of 10+ years but they never change and are never down >single for 5 years >5'10 170
Lincoln Morris
see, this is the kind of cool shit i want in life. even if its random as fuck, and honestly not really life changing, it's just a change of pace.
why the gym?
Leo Gray
I don't know where I was born, but I've been living in Mexico for 20+ years (hence the name in spanish in my photos) I'm sure I have mex blood as I'm short compared to americans and some europeans but who cares? Juarez, that's in north Baja is it not? I know a couple of beaches in Baja where there's no people in miles, you can see the stars and whales in this time of year, lovely combination of desert and beach.
Henry Edwards
jesus christ, you sound interesting, experiencing shit that someone only living in the amazon would. do you live in fucking australia or something? so many spoders so scary. you do have a good photograph, so that must be your hobby?
David Morgan
Cuz being fit as fuck and doing festivals rave and shit is pretty cool
Henry Gonzalez
no, juarez borders texas
i live in el paso, texas it is literally a 15 minute drive for me to get into mexico from here
i know clubbing over in juarez is insane, and i have a good amount of friends who frequently travel there
never been though, may change that soon enough however
Levi Sullivan
Oh fuck, you live in hell.
I stayed in el paso for a while on business and hated it.
Lucas Thomas
Get a gambling addiction
Colton King
28 here - i felt like i was in a rut around 23 as well. Basically same situation as you, boring job, boring friends - really vanilla standard life.
I dumped all my boring friends, and really got into my main hobby (music) and found and made new friends who all followed the same passion for music.
Changed my life entirely - still work shitty job, but my social life is entirely different, being able to hang out and share a passion with likeminded people is priceless. Never a dull weekend
wether its recording random whack shit with other muso's or playing gigs, going to festivals or concerts with people who genuinely enjoy it as much as you.
Not saying it has to be music, but find a hobby you like, and make friends who have the same interests
Henry Thomas
been here for almost 16 years now fam
used to hate it, but honestly, the place really grows on you. the only shitty thing here imo is the wind, apart from that, the city is beautiful.
it's growing slowly too, maybe within the next 15 to 20 years it will be worth a damn. but either way, home sweet home
Nicholas Lewis
Yeah a recent discovery!
Always been a city dweller, went through a rough patch but I had enough two years ago when I was standing on the side of a bridge ready to jump, but I didn't so I pursuit things that interested me. Yes, after that I bought with the little money I had, a DSLR and learnt photography on youtube, scrapped about 250 bucks and went a whole week backpacking to Baja by my own, met a beautiful canadian and saw DCfC live as they were playing for a festival at the Hotel California. Best week of my life. Changed the way I see things, back to my city I still struggle with debt, current unemployment and all that daily life stress. I'm no one, but like I said, sometimes there are moments.
Cameron Watson
>most of my friends are braindead, so doing cool shit with them is p much nonexistent.
You need new friends.
I know this because I've been in a similar situation before (around the time I was 21, 23 now). I had to stop hanging out with boring people and start doing interesting stuff with cool people.
Ryan Rivera
1.become and alcohol 2?????? 3. PROFIT
Jeremiah Lee
its hard man, not in the sense of finding new friends, but in the sense of letting them go
regardless if they are boring as shit or not, thing is, they are still good friends
just unfortunately, the majority want to smoke bud or drink all day, while the others are introverted as fuck
a few of my closer ones are busy getting their shit together, so not much time for them to do hangs either
Landon Ross
I'm 25 and pretty much in the same situation, we ALL are. We have to work shitty slave like jobs for slave wages or else we starve.
Maybe it's time to rise up and fight for our lives...
John Butler
You don't necessarily have to let your old friends go, you'll still be cool with them, you just won't spend as much time around them.
Gavin Hall
I confused it with Tijuana, yeah Juarez is hardcore as fuck.
Luke Smith
Learn to gamble in casino and win
Juan Gray
>High school >Fun times of my life Well shit
Daniel Rodriguez

Landon Richardson

Cameron Mitchell

Oliver Wood

Nathaniel Murphy
Nah, I'm more afraid of drug criminals than bears. Watch this on Vimeo if you have time 121315661

The hidden purpose of mankind is mystical.
We are meant to experience union with the Divine.
Everything else should be boring.
The problem is that mankind has lost the spiritual path and not enough people belive we can see God, like the Hindus and other mystics did back in the day.
There is a reason those that do try, fail. You must be pure in heart. And that means no idle activity... all this boring crap.
Kayden Gonzalez
I just remembered that TV show, Mr. Meaty. Fucking nightmare fuel that was.
Xavier Roberts
Oh shit op, I live here too.
Adrian Adams
dont do it really... wasted my first half of 20s on this hobby. >stupid it job >drink every day alone >play lol and browse the 'chons >lost all friends and gf >ready to suicide
suddenly got shit together, sober, quit smoking, started working out. >28 >190cm 95kg athletic build >new gym friends >licence, car >licence, motorcycle (new cb500) >new biker friends >new gf with big tiddies
just improve yourself step by step, it will cause a chain reaction to further improvements - and the benefits of new friends, increased confidence and social status will follow
Joseph Cox
I know how you feel.
Dominic Reed
which side of town you on fam
Easton Myers
West side I think, I always forget.
Cameron Murphy
how long you been in EP?
been stuck in the NE almost my whole life, everyone knows everyone here
stay on the west side, much better than this little shithole
Joshua Wood
Only like 2 and a half years. Moved away and came back for a job. I use to live on the east side on dyer, everyone says it's shitty but I never noticed any bad stuff. Besides one friend from HS, I'm all alone here.
Lucas Anderson
it doesn't get better fyi only way I could possibly imagine it being better would be if you were rich as fuck.
Aaron Rogers
what highschool did you go to?
Gabriel Martinez
>p much heres an exciting thing for you to do kill yourself
Elijah Moore
drugs.
Lincoln Turner
I went to highschool in a different city, like 12 hours from here. Harker Heights, doubt you ever heard of it, no one ever does
Luke Walker
What the fuck did you think life was going to be?
Why do you think adults kept saying high school will be the best years of your life?
They said that because you experienced your first love and you didn't have to worry about any of this shit.
Jeremiah Hill
So you're some music bum and pushing 30? Fucking hell.
Christian Morales
>why the fuck do people want to live like this? Because it's better than being dead. If you're not enjoying your life then change it.
Eli Lopez
what a depressing thread
Cameron Johnson
time to die
Hunter Hernandez
Or just upskill yourself into something that pays well. Unless you are aiming for management you really don't get a lot more attention or responsibility. People will pay you because there's no one else available to do a job they need done. They will also give a shit about your conditions so you stay.
To do this you can go back to school with a greater appreciation of why you are there which I've found to be much more enjoyable than the first run through.
