You can also combine kids and fun. You just need to be a bit creative.

The thing is, you can do all of that. There’s enough time for boring adult stuff and fun.

Who said you can’t spend a few hours gaming during weekdays. Traditionally, people have spent those hours watching low quality trash on TV. Shooting space bugs with rockets and flame throwers is a lot more fun IMO.

You can still do all the fun stuff after work. Weekends exist too you know.

The Star Wars sequel trilogy. What a waste of money and time.

If you ignore the anime series, and just watch the live action movie with zero expectations, it can be kinda fun. Realistically, pretty much nobody did that, and that’s why they hated it.

What I thought mattered at the time: Opinions of other people
What actually mattered: My own opinions

People expected me to borrow money, buy a house, get married, travel the world etc. I didn’t actually want to do any of those. Well, eventually I did screw up, got stuck in that situation for years, but now I’m finally free again. Phew. 😌

If I could send a message back in time to a 20 year old me it would be this:
You may not be entirely sure about what you do want, but you certainly know what you don’t want. Let the latter guide you. When people expect you to do something you don’t want, don’t do it. Peer pressure in this context is just annoying noise, nothing more. You shouldn’t make life-altering things unless you’re really sure about it. It isn’t enough that everyone else has done it and expects you to follow suit. Contrary to many cultural norms, the people around you don’t actually always know what’s good for you.

And it still fits. 😂 There are outfits that reveal parts with censored names.
