I love life. I'm 37.
Being alive in itself is truly remarkable. I've made great friends. I've met people who ended up disappointing me greatly. I've married a smart, beautiful, ambitious woman twelve years ago. We've went through exhilarating ups and soulcrushing downs.
I've worked for a startup, which almost went under several times. I've worked for a corporate thresher which sucked life right out of me.
I've worked on niche projects in my spare time, which so far have amounted to nothing.
I've had panic attacks. I've experienced months of mania and perceived greatness.
Life is a present which keeps on giving. I'm grateful. Accomplishments are a matter of perception, experience in itself is utterly exhilarating to me.
I love life. I'm 37.

- chansiky 6y agoThis needs more upvotes. Life really should be about what you spend your time doing, not letting it waste away, not living for achievements, nor comparing ourselves to others, others from completely different worlds, but really making the most of the short time we have, whatever it is we are doing - having fun, doing work, taking a break, living life.
