Never planned for life

[Journeytoletgo]

I should have played it safely and wisely instead of being reckless

Here would have been my life plan
1. Go on accutane at 14
2. Transfer high schools
3. Sign up for karate to gain social circle
4. Do belly and other dance to gain social circle
5. Eat healthy
6. Learn two different languages
7. Stay away from alcohol
8. Stay a virgin until marriage proposal

If I'm not married by 34 CTB

Same, man. I'm 30 and about 90% of my daydreams constitute retro-planning my past life; imagine how different things would be if I chose better schools, made better career choices, properly pursued hobbies, started dating during adolescence, etc.

Most people in our position would force themselves into an unhappy marriage and raise kids to both give themselves importance and course-correct by proxy but that's a selfish attitude and one that creates more trouble than happiness.

I hope that things stabilize for you, @Journeytoletgo, and that you have a chance to pursue some of those interests (like self-defense and healthy dieting/living). It's definitely not too late to invest in either of those things if/when you earn the time and resources.

EDIT: Interesting to note that you regret being sexual active. I have yet to even kiss the opposite sex and would totally list that as a missed milestone.

Thank you I agree I wouldn't dare bring life into this earth after my life experiences and or marry.

My sexual experiences were horrible because I wasn't mature enough or knew of boundaries. So I had some horrible experiences and therefore I regret them if only I respected myself more and was informed about building trust and communication BEFORE sexual experiences maybe I wouldn't be on this site

Why the obsession with marriage? Opens up your assets to possible theft by deception. It also raises the probability of procreation - certainly not wise in our burning world ?

That's true, I'm referring to when I was younger before I was aware of the horrors of this world I would have wanted to be married however not anymore
