What do you wish you'd done differently in life? What are you glad to have done?

Rather than romantic ideas about who you might like to be, if it were all up to you.

the weirdness bit is something I think alot about too, but I'm not sure how practical it is for most. Viable zones of weird are compartmentalized with little consideration of the gradient, why Hesse's Steppenwolf is so popular

@suspendedreason what about you? Whats your plan? I think you and I are the most demographically similar on here so I'm curious. Constant escape too but hes off in the stratosphere

Sometimes i regret not fucking up and being totally irresponsible in pursuit of daft ideas and fantasies. i get pretty close but then am sensible enough and just about considerate enough to wise up. thats the real tragedy

@Linebaugh Just finished the first stage of my plan, which was transitioning out of humanities and into programming. Took a year & about 30k of credit card debt for the turnaround. I've just finished paying that off after a year on the job, so I suppose I'm two years in. Now that finances are stabilizing, gonna try to crank down my hours, maybe transition to parttime or contract in the near-future, and find somewhere I can live frugally. Mexico? Wisconsin? Spend the rest writing, doing music, being free. That's the hope anyway. Still six months on the lease here in New York, and the s/o is finishing up a degree, so it'll be a minute til that happens, but

Don't you think previous generations the path was less chosen, more inherited? If your father was a smith, etc...

can always rely on Leo to sober me up

I get you, but my ma and da were more accepting of their lot, fewer options, less aspiration, more restricted materially and experientially. you know what im talking about

Wisconsin is very pretty. Think there are other cheap spots equally pretty I would rather live though. Is NYC worth it?
