I designed over four hundred homes, painted professionally for seven years…wrote a book about my psychosis…and gained many friends in college that I still have. I’ve done enough for me to feel accomplished in my life…now these years go by and I wouldn’t change a thing…are you satisfied with your accomplishments? @shutterbug is one I know is probably.
Not really. Things I want to do I haven’t done yet. Working on it. Having the adult kid move back home is slowing me down. It’s kind of like, “you’re adult now. Shoo.”
I’ve done a lot with my life. But I need to be here at least another 20 years cos I want to see my kids grow and be able to fend for themselves in the world.
I look at it the same way you do. I rationalize that I did a lot for many years and now I’m just letting the years wind down and not doing much. I had friends even in my disease and did a lot of stuff with them and I traveled with my dad and had a busy life and socialized for many years. Now it’s just a routine of going to work, going to doctors appointments and spending time on my own. I don’t know if I’ll ever have another friend, I enjoy my own company and don’t get lonely.
I feel like I’ve done more in my life than a decent amount of people.
I’m also only 31 (soon 32)
I’m sure there’s plenty more I should and could accomplish…
I was a medical technologist and a laboratory scientist, but I wish I had been a PhD scientist or a doctor. My daughter has a PhD.
