A word 2 the wise guy

Reading through the enthusiastic threads being posted by today's young hipsters makes me green with envy; yes, I too was once young, without financial obligations and able to feel any half assed 1 & 1 pumped into my minty fresh veins. Dinosaurs on the quilt I wore with a girl...Such a classic girl.

Savor the moments, is all I can say. They will be the only happiness your life will ever see and - if you're not fortunate enough to overdose - you'll have endless decades to look back on them in solipsistic reverie and wonder.

That post evoked so many emotions for me! At first I was like, yeah! Me too! I'm envious of the young and unattached who can spend their money just enjoying themselves. And then I started reminiscing on easier times and relationships with less strings and less stress. And I got kinda sad and a little angry. Then, I started realizing that there is a somewhat stoical point of view here, too. I spent much of my younger years wishing and waiting for that "true love" and "happily ever after". I desperately wanted to fill my life with children and family, not realizing all the hard times that would come with this. However, the joy that my kids bring is the best high ever! And that is being said by someone who really really looooooves to get high! It makes me sad to think of what I would have missed out on if I had overdosed when I was younger. So, my advice is that you FULLY enjoy your younger life and don't worry and wish so much for what's ne t. But when it's time for what's next, embrace it and try to leave the drugs behind. There's nothing worse than struggling with your addiction, your finances, and your guilt!
