Re: Dealing with "aging"?
(Anonymous) 2020-09-03 05:42 am (UTC)(link)I funded my traveling by waiting tables, working in seedy hotels, bars and laundromats, because those were the only jobs available to me without the right papers or the right kind of education.
I got cheated out of a lot of money by my employers, and then got assaulted (physically, sexually, you name it) and treated like shit by customers. I still suffer from PTSD because of it. Still, I got to see new places and met some wonderful people who I will always remember fondly. Was it worth it and would I do it again? I honestly don't know.
And as for my "fun" partying... The reason I stopped was less to do with having had my fill, and more to do with developing alcoholism and drug habits.
My point is, there are a lot of approaches to life and it's not good for your mental health to dwell on "what could have been". One part of your life being closed doesn't mean you're cut off from further experiences later down in life.
