Sorry to disappoint, was not common sense by 30.
Was too busy freakin out about money, which at the time, was what I thought was the most important thing in the world.

Is it weird to think that your penis is 50 years old? That's a lot of in between the thighs time. If you measured all your cumshots do you think it would fill a gallon milk jug?
In the end we're all just chalk lines on the concrete, drawn only to be washed away. For the time that I've been given, I am what I am.

Seriously this is such a great thread, please keep it going. Young people don't get enough guidance about life's philosophies and ways. Everyone makes mistakes in life but you're helping us limit ours. You're the man.

Let's add:
Don't let what you look like determine who you are.

In my early 40s I was doing great. Actually sup testing for Legal Gear when the had product X out. Sustained a major groin pull. Thought I would heal up much quicker. Have put on 60 lbs and now trying to get back in shape.

Testicle cancer tried to take me out last year. I kicked its ugly a$$. Now totally cancer free. Cost me a nut, but that's not who I am anyway. You really find out how valuable family is at those times.

Looking back, do you feel that you missed out on possibly a life-changing opportunity in your 20s?
And how did random hook-ups affect you later on in life?

Yeah, and you guys are gonna want to string me up.

My mom was good friends with a chiropractor. I was 18, and he said that he would pay for ALL my schooling to get thru chiro school, if I just worked for him after to pay him back. I didn't want to put the time in school and turned him down. His son runs the biz now and makes about 600k a year.

I know, go get the rope.

As far as random hookups, my amazing beautiful wife was a blind date from a mutual friend.

When you were in your 20's, did you ever stress and freak out about the future? What changed that?

I always seem to drift off and think about the future like where my job will be, where I will be, my partner, etc.

I got a GF, but I feel leagues away from settling down (probably in 5-6 years), but I feel it's close. Were you ever an 'over-thinker'?

When I was in early 20s I was serious alchy, and didn't care about anything. Fiddle farted around with college. Didn't think I would care about anyone. All that changed when I manned up and confessed my feels for The ONE, even though I was expecting to get shot down in flames. I didn't get shot down.

I over think everything, but there are times when you just have to say "I'm goin forward and will take it as it happens!"

You can get paralysis from analysis, right?

I feel you on that. I'm 24, and I'm just getting out of college in December (I'll be 25 by then). I feel behind as fcuk and like I wasted my years in college on a field I don't even like much.

Try being 28, living in government housing and having your 2 year old daughter ask you, daddy how come we have to live in a pound for people?
And you say, because honey, when I was younger and should have been learning in college so I could get a better job, I was getting drunk instead.
And she asks, How come you didn't love me and mommy enough not to do that then?

I don't care who you are, you'll cry.
