Lifestyle > Train of Thought
Infinite dead at 50. I'm only planning to live 8 more years.
V2DHeart:
These are all normal thought patterns we have at some point as we age. Sometimes they come or go, or remain. The majority on these 'Rap forums' will be nearing their 40's, or will already be in their 40's, possibly 50's, so the majority here would have all had similar thoughts on dependency and issues that will inevitably arise in their lives, that have to rely on the goodwill and kindness of others, and let's face it - the world is fast becoming a shallow self-centred place with far more disingenuousness to try and navigate through.
But this should only serve as an incentive to eat better, exercise more, and try and insert yourself into things that tend to occupy the mind.
Everyone should self-reflect to see where they can make improvements, no matter how small. One of my biggest things was spending far too much time on Facebook. Not just being on there to screen scroll through random ish, but spending time on there debating on hot political topics, before realising that it was just a pointless waste of time. We rarely change opposing opinions debating anyway, and if you calculate the amount of time spent on those platforms, it's frightening, when comparing what could have been achieved had that time been utilised elsewhere. And these achievements could have procured a positive impact on our lives. Taking the time to learn a new language (free for the most part) could open up doors to employment opportunities, new friends in other countries, or working on a new skill or trade. I've recently been looking at DIY animatronics and other similar things. I think we all can have a massive boost in self-confidence and raising self-esteem when we can achieve something, but the current system somewhat forces us to be drawn into throwing our time away for nothing of real worth at the end of it. Comparing our lives, with those who tend to manufacture most of theirs, from the filtered images, and exaggerated enjoyment of events - I once saw (I saw 'once', but happens regularly) someone post over 60 images of a day out, and reply to all of the comments, and thinking to myself, if this day was really enjoyment, you'd be living in the moment of it, not worrying about the opinions of strangers to help validate it.
Off on a tangent, but I would definitely say the next 8 years should be goal oriented, listing all goals, starting off with the smallest first

I mean hell, without getting too personal let’s just say one was born in LA as the rise of the fuccing West Coast rap era was about to take off and the other was born from an anonymous sperm donor.
Point is we aren’t all fated the same stars. Palm Readers and Mentalists can predict such propensities as a person being fated to a life of a loner or individualist the path chooses you as much as you choose it.
Nature vs. Nurture. Not all life is choice some is circumstantial yes I will accept my 50% responsibility for my choices but there’s another 50% that is destiny and I’ve tried to run from my loner life before but it always comes back to me

You choose what makes you happy in life. There are people who wake up every day and work a jigsaw puzzle alone, in a tiny little room who are incredibly happy in life.
If you have decided the only way you will feel happy is by material things that money can buy or material circumstances that money can buy, that's something you need to work on, and that's not accomplished by getting more money. That's called chasing the dragon.
If you have decided the only way to make you happy is by having a wife and kids, again, relying on someone else or something else to make you happy, that's all on you.
If you have decided the only way you can ever be happy is to somehow figure out a way to rationalize your childhood and upbringing and continue to wish you grew up in a loving household, that's a wall you're never going to climb my dude.
Honestly, you really need to stop justifying your unhappiness because of "the stars" or your "circumstances" and learn to be happy in the situation you are in. I've seen so many happy people who have next to nothing. They've figured out the key to happiness. You haven't yet. I hope you figure it out one day. Because if you keep waiting around for something or someone to come into your life that will "make" you happy, won't ever happen. There are rich miserable people. There are married miserable people. Happiness is a state of mind, not a result of external factors. Homie you need to get right with yourself. Only YOU can make YOU happy.
