Especially getting older, I do this a lot more. Looking at things I want to do that ive been putting off, for example. If I have the money, I’m doing it. Now I’m not going full Yes Man on it, but I much prefer living like this. You could very easily die tomorrow so you should do everything you want to while you can, basically.

A lot of people I know seem to lock themselves in this invisible box of “I can’t” when they totally can. Obviously, finances is all of our biggest limiting factor in this. But even a lot of wealthier people just dont ever really do what they really want, either out of fear of being judged or failing etc. And then, boom, brain cancer, you’re dead in 6 months.

So I say, live it up!!

Now this doesnt mean blow your life savings on cocaine, unless thats really your thing.

    Never, I’m trapped in my job and life. Everytime I get the opportunity to do something I want, something always takes it away from me. Whether it’s work, money, or life in general. I want to run away and experience life, experience the world, but I can’t.

      What about not fully running away and abandoning everything , but just doing things little steps at a time?

      If you have your health, you really can do anything. Even if its just a weekend drive a few hours away, that’s still something. You dont need to go clear accross the world in one go

        It’ll be nice to do that. But, it’s only temporary. It’d be cool to run away forever, or even just for a month. Life has been sucky
