To some degree, I can totally understand you. I often had the feeling of being born in the wrong times and drifted through my life without any goals or aims. I used RPGs, video games and alcohol abuse to escape reality. When I turned 30, I thought that I could not continue this way of living. A decade later, I am married for seven years, have two children and quited all of my reality escaping. I would not say that I am totally happy now, but at least my life improved, just based on my will to change things.
I still struggle sometimes with the motivation to carry on with my life (especially since March 2020), but since I only have one life, I am trying to improve it as much as possible.
Thank you for sharing your insights and for being an honest voice in this world! I’ve found that striving for happiness pretty much leads me to misery but if I embrace difficulty as an opportunity for growth, joy usually is around the corner. I’ve found your conversation with Chris Ryan enjoyable and enlightening. Thanks for all you do! Wishing you the best!

"Like pedals from a dying rose, one by one those dreams fell away, lying brown and shriveled on the floor"
That's beautiful, I wish I had written it.
Another beautiful line:
"Do not go gentle into that good night".
I'm pretty much that guy. Still chasing dreams that were impossible at their inception.
Honestly, who gives a shit if they're impossible. The substance was always in the journey.
Your writing is fantastic and meaningful!
Hopefully 2022 is treating you better so far
