in high school i was preoccupied with the notion of having the best couple years possible and this burden created deep depression within myself as we are subject to the tides of life around us and not just our own whims and as such this curse of want we curate within ourselves leaves us forever divorced from fulfillment and it took many years and a breakdown later to come to the conclusion that we are all the same person at different points in the convoluted flow of time and perhaps it is not only unimportant how we compare to others, but also how happy we are in general as maybe our trials and tribulations are a form of penance and truth-seeking that we must endure time and time again in many forms and degrees of severity as the wheel called samsara turns and we inch closer towards an equilibrium so that we may know nirvana and perhaps to exist is to forever be cresting your peak until the long climb courses the path of truth and culminates in eternal harmony. namaste~

No, not at all, but I guess I did sort of set the stage for the next decade of my life in high school since it was during sophomore year that I started smoking crystal. Oh, the things I learned in those care-free days. I would say right now is definitely a high point in my life since im gainfully employed in a decent job and I'm not addicted to narcotics. Actually, I like my life! It sounds crazy, I know, but it's true.

You'd be amazed the simple things I gain enjoyment from just because there was a time when the ONLY thing I got enjoyment from was putting a needle in my arm. I'm happy just eating a loving cheeseburger on my lunch hour. Happy as hell.

Maybe this guy that flies is just sort of passing through, you know?



I peaked shortly after with best/coolest job of my life that I was super passionate about and good at in the military and an attractive and fairly cool wife

left the military divorced over stupid 20something bullshit and all downhill from there! I'm 37 and my only interesting stories start "back in my early 20s..."

i have mountains of regret and fantasize about having it all to do over again and not take for granted. :smith:

without making the mistakes you have made, you would never have developed the wisdom to know regret or appreciate the simple pleasures in what you had~

fun story i once left her in literal tears feeling neglected to go play smash bros with college pals.

at the time we divorced i thought she was the jerk, but in the fullness of time i reflected on little vignettes like that, and have realized that i was a completely thoughtless goon!

now i have all the time in the world to play smash bros with those pals, only they moved all over the world and have fulfilling lives and families and such. :smithicide:

I definitely peaked in highschool.

If you are over 40 they probably taught you a certain clunky old trigonometry formula in high school.

If you are under 40, you probably learned the simpler, more optimised version that I came up with in 1984 when I was 12.

Then I did a lot of drugs. I don't even remember what the formula was for anymore, it's one of the scalene triangle ones.

My live has been a slow gradual incline upwards, but it is so shallow that to any outside observer it might as well be a straight horizontal line.

The upside is when the slow gradual decline hits I probably won't even notice.

I came across mention of a Gnostic codex called The Unreal God and the Aspects of His Nonexistent Universe, an idea which reduced me to helpless laughter. What kind of person would write about something that he knows doesn't exist, and how can something that doesn't exist have aspects?
I WAS A BASKETBALL HERO EVERYONE LOVED ME I WAS PHYSICALLY FIT I HAD HAIR AND THE WOMEN ALL THE WOMEN I COULD HANDLE
THEN I WENT TO WORK FOR A COLLEGE NERD AND THE ENVY I HAD FOR HIS COLLEGE EDUCATED LIFESTYLE GAVE ME STRESS AND MADE ME BALD AND FAT
OH WHY WASNT I NICER TO GEEKS AND NERDS IN HIGHSCHOOL IF ONLY I UNDERSTOOD THE FRIENDSHIP OF PONIES AND STUDIED HARD THEN THINGS WOULD HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT

How does peaking in high school work? Like if your life isn't working out, why don't you do something about it?

You knock your highschool sweetheart up and get a DUI the night you graduate, precluding you from bettering yourself. Something like that
